WEEK 7 TASKS
For your own Exoskeletal Virtual Prototype develop the following outputs
1/ undertake and publish a digital analysis for a chosen part
2/ prepare summary of this digital analysis - infographic / images / annotation
3/prepare a Design Analysis Summary presentation board
4/ prepare a VOP 120 sec - presentation slides + script - for the Digital Analysis Summary
5/ record and publish the VOP for the Digital Analysis Summary
DIGITAL TWIN WEBINAR
WEEK 7 TASK - generating + collating digital test results
INSERT TEST-COMPONENT SOLIDBODY INTO NEW PART FILE - apply analysis to this file
Taking a single component from your Exoskeletal Virtual Prototype undertake the following digital analysis using the available SW Analytical Tools
- suggested component - Pelvic Armature Internal Chassis
Apply the 3 load-sets as indicated and apply separate SW analytical studies for each of these loadings
OUTWARD FLEX - A
INWARD FLEX - B
TORSIONAL FLEX - C
Do this with one test series being based on mild-steel and an additional test series being based and stainless steel
IDENTFY THE REQUIRED LOAD TO IMPART A MAX-15MM DISPLACEMENT IN EACH TEST
RESULTS - collate all test results + related calculations into a single PDF
The material thickness must remain the same for both test series
Collate both the stress + displacement test results-images for each individual test
Calculate the component-weight for each material
Calculate the component-cost per each material
Calculate the outline component LCA foot print for each material
Based on these findings select one the two material choices as the optimum material-specification. Proceed to develop the 'rigidity' of the chosen component by developing the details within the given form - eg: stiffening details probably as embossed and or debossed features
Recalculate the necessary load to impart a maximum of 15 mm displacement on the component
SOLIDWORKS LCA
DIGITAL ANALYSIS OF CHOSEN COMPONENT
- 3 TESTS - COMPARISON ACROSS 2 MATERIALS - MILD STEEL + STAINLESS STEEL
OUTWARD FLEX - MILD STEEL
INWARD FLEX MILD STEEL
TORSIONAL FLEX - MILD STEEL

NAMING PRODUCTS 'INTENSIVE'
- an element of a branding process
this is for future reference
extensive and detailed
insights into product brand psychology
10 Tips for
Product Naming Success
1. Be Descriptive
2. Use Real Words with a Twist
3. Add a Prefix or Suffix
4. Create a Compound Word
5. Make up a Word
6. Change Spellings
7. Tweak and Blend Words
8. Use a Place or Person’s Name
9. Create an Acronym-Use Initials/ Numbers
10. Use a Verb
