No, I'm not talking about Steakholders but Stakeholders for realizing Model Based Definition & Model Based Enterprise. Let me begin by defining MBD and MBE. Model Based Definition (MBD) is about creating rich “Technical Data Packages (TDP)” which includes 3D model and associated data elements that fully define the product in a manner that can...

What would you rather do this upcoming weekend? Preview a movie or Dimensions in Creo Parametric 4.0? I know what you are thinking.... I don't blame you... Just in case you are stuck with Creo, have fun previewing dimensions.....:-) Starting with Creo Parametric 4.0, when you create a dimension or a GTOL you can immediately see... Continue Reading →
If you’re an engineer or designer, you’ve probably already heard about model-based definition (MBD), the practice of adding non-geometric engineering information to a 3D model. (Traditionally, that data is added to a 2D drawing.) Intuitively, it makes sense to keep everything in one place. But are the benefits worth the effort of changing the way... Continue Reading →
Some say that model-based definition (MBD), the practice of adding engineering information to a 3D model, can help improve productivity and quality, while also reducing costs. On the surface, that’s something every organization, engineering manager, and design engineer wants, of course. But, is MBD still “faster, better and cheaper” if your team’s productivity suffers as... Continue Reading →
MBD is based on Y14.41-2003 Digital Product Definition Data Practices that establishes standards and requirements for tolerances, dimensional data, and other digital design annotations on 3D solid models. Combination States are important in the MBD context as they facilitate the presentation of model and the related annotations. Combination States in Creo Parametric In Creo Parametric,...

The momentum is building for Model-Based Definition (MBD). Get ready now. MBD is a process which results in a 3D CAD model that is the complete product definition. All the information about your product lives in a fully-detailed, documented 3D model accessible to everyone from engineering to package design. Sounds good, but what does it... Continue Reading →
In this e-book, Madhavi Ramesh from Punditas explains how reusing rich 3D models can help you manage complexity, maximize customer value and move ahead of the pack Model-Based Definition (MBD) is a prerequisite for achieving Model-Based Enterprise, but the realities of implementing MBD have traditionally been fraught with challenges. Today, many of the hurdles that... Continue Reading →
