WEMS are focused on providing practical mechanical engineering to its customers.  A wealth of experience and a vast knowledge of industry products, materials and standards allow WEMS to transform concepts into practical engineered designs.

Shown above is the FEA development of a pallet tank frame.

WEMS utilises Solidworks as its primary engineering tool. Solidworks is a parametric feature-based solid modelling software package. 3D parts can be created, placed in an assembly and then 2D drawings generated directly from part and assembly information.

WEMS’s skilled design team can produce workshop drawings for fabrication from 3D model information developed during the preliminary stages of the design process. Due to its parametric and associative nature, Solidworks allows automation of the drawing process based on information captured in 3D models.

 flat_pattern_drawing

 The above drawing shows the flat pattern development of the hopper front panel.

The three basic Solidworks file types (parts, assemblies & drawings) are associated with one another. This means the drawing file has the ability to extract properties from parts or assemblies and reproduce the information on a drawing sheet. If a part is modified or properties changed, the associated 2D drawing will automatically update.

Engineering Benefits of 3D modeling

  • Design verification through engineering analysis – Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Motion Analysis;
  • Mass and section properties – mass, volume, surface area, centre of mass, moments of inertia, etc;
  • Reverse Engineering – production of 3D models from existing 2D drawings;
  • Data creation for manufacturer – dxf files for profile cutting, sheetmetal flat pattern development;
  • Presentation images – jpeg, tif, pdf, with photorealistic rendering capabilities;
  • Importing and exporting of numerous solid file types – IGES, STEP, ACIS, etc;
  • File translation ability – converting of files between AutoCAD (dwg) and Solidworks.
