Automated Design Process

About
Grouping and standardizing the parts can save a lot of time in the development of the product. My aim is to create a platform for case good products, from which a number of products can be developed without working from scratch

Overview
In regular engineering practice, we have to redesign the component while designing the parts most of the calculations remain the same for reducing the repetitive work and improving productivity, we can utilize software skills.
In today’s pandemic situation lot of industries already faced production loss, and now the time is to recover all of the losses. In such time re-designing the component for each of the different inputs is not a good idea. Design automation can be one of the best solutions for this kind of redundant work.
If we formulate a spreadsheet according to the problem statement then there will be a one-time time investment after that we can get results in a few clicks only.
design software can be connected to excel and automation can lead us to a better solution.
our ultimate aim is to automate the design process using excel /MathCAD and design software

Why this Concept?
If any new product requirement is there then the engineer needs to start from scratch. Where most of the parts attribute are common but due to dimensional variations engineers need to repeat the entire design cycle again.
This design cycle includes CAD modeling of components and assemblies, Finite Element analysis of components, design review, creating drawings, creating BOM and costing, creating carton drawings, creating Packaging sequence and assembly guidelines, and many more steps like this.
To reduce this cycle time platform can be a relief, with the help of the platform, engineers just need to change the dimension in the table and the product will be ready in just a few clicks.
Even if there is a requirement of developing a product which is having different specifications but having the same attributes then that product can also be developed using the same platform.

How it Works
user don't have to open each part used in the assembly, user have to give input to the assembly only, so this concept saves our lots of modification time.
to modify or to change dimensions just click on regeneration tab  software asks the user what kind of dimensions are to be get changed
ex,
overall width
overall height(excluding leg)
overall depth
shelf distance
thickness of sheet
once you entered the overall dimensions (External Dimension) according to that ineer dimension and other meting parts dimensions are automatically updated with tolerance and clearance. 
This automation concept is not only limited to the case of good products we can automate other products as well, like machine components, lifestyle products, and many more.
