Dusting off the old keyboard been a while..! Just a quick post to let you know about my class this year at AU2014 

PL5315 The Devil is In the Detail—PDM and PLM: Parker Hannifin Corporation's Journey

 In this class you will hear first hand from one of our customers, Parker Hannifin and how they deployed Autodesk Vault software from a small group of 30 users to what is now over 1500 active users. You will also learn how they plan to use Autodesk PLM 360 software to manage the other processes that support engineering, quality, costing, quoting, and supplier management, you will see how this will enable them to use cloud-based PLM collaboration to extend the product data management productivity and increase the time to market of products and services.

 I will be joined by Maarten Weers from Parker Hannifin the CAD Manager for IT Core Competency Team in EMEA so you can hear first hand from one of our customers. Maarten started his career as a Mechanical Engineer over 20 years ago, implementing software to support company work flows fascinated him from the first day, where he became the interface between engineering, management and IT, this role continued for 13 years. After six years working for a software company developing CAD tools, Maarten then joined Parker Hannifin, where he initiated and coordinated the implementation of Autodesk Vault for the Sales Companies in Europe which are located in seven different countries. This year his focus is on the use of Autodesk PLM360 for the engineering and quality departments.

Autodesk Sketchbook & Tattoo Artists a match made in heaven !

I thought I'd switch gear this week and talk about another Autodesk product, namely Autodesk  SketchBook® . This  is the ultimate in painting and drawing software.  It helps digital artists and illustrators design with professional-grade perspective tools and intuitive user interface. You can sketch, draw, and paint on any platform it's badass !

First up is the FMEA App, the FMEA App or the Failure Mode  Effect Analysis  is used to  record the results for each type for Functional, Design or Process analysis for   components, assemblies, and subsystems. The Wiki View of FMEA Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) was one of the first systematic techniques for failure analysis. It was developed by reliability engineers in the 1950s to study problems that might arise from malfunctions of military systems. An FMEA is often the first step of a system reliability study. It involves reviewing as many components, assemblies, and subsystems as possible to identify failure modes, and their causes and effects. For each component, the failure modes and their resulting effects on the rest of the system are recorded in the App. An FMEA i...
