Publisher's Synopsis
3D Model-Based Definition and Model-Based Enterprise: Moving Industry Toward a Data-Driven Future will provide a thorough introduction to, overview of, and justification for using 3D solid model CAD digital product definition data as the primary design deliverable instead of the 2D drawings traditionally generated by design engineering. The authors address all lifecycle stages of a product and the data that describes it (product and manufacturing information, "PMI"). These are part of a new paradigm called Model-Based Design (MBD) and Model-Based Enterprise (MBE). The focus of this book will be MBD, MBE, and related 3D Model-Based Business Processes (MBx), presented in a practical manner.
