CDG Engineering Design Support Services

CDG offers comprehensive Engineering Design and Engineering Data Conversion services to help you deliver your engineering projects cost-effectively, on time, backed by experienced and skilled engineers and ISO-certified quality management systems.

Some of the specialty engineering services provided by CDG include:

CAD – Computer Aided Design and Design Support Services

• 3D Modeling and Simulation Services: Fully constrained parametric 3D solid models and assembly models developed from source data. 3D Modeling and Simulation Servicesinclude:
  • Full Animation Sequences Using 3D models – to demonstrate equipment performance during engineering design processes
  • Manufacturing Process Optimization using 3D Simulation – used to create virtual “What If” models to pre-test new manufacturing and assembly processes and reduce up-front investment in proposed process improvements. Models can be effectively combined with Lean assessment of processes for a full-circleunderstanding of the potential impact of proposed changes.
  • 3D Animation Sequences for Training Materials – used to demonstrate maintenance processes, equipment disassembly/reassembly, or other procedures.
• Weight Optimization: Modeling of design options to reduce equipment weight to lower shipping costs and improve operations efficiency, without compromising durability or reliability
• Discrete Design Optimization: Development of options for improved equipment functionality and performance, with higher perceived value and lower total cost of operations
• Composites / Materials Engineering and Selection: Modeling of equipment performance, peak failures, weight, repair/replacement procedures and other factors related to use of composites or other material
• Materials Analysis: CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Analysis, Thermal Analysis, Stress Analysis
• Safety Analysis/Engineering: Supporting compliance with governing body specifications and regulations, including development of safety analysis reports
• Reliability and Maintainability: Modeling, analysis, and data compilation to support functional improvements and reduce maintenance costs. Focus areas include:
  • Reliability Predictions, Design for Reliability
  • Maintainability Assessments, Modeling, and Demonstration
  • Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA / FMEACA)
  • Defect/Failure Reporting and Corrective Action System (DRACAS)

Engineering Data Conversion Services

CDG supports conversion of engineering data to/from a number of engineering data formats, including CATIA, AutoCAD, Pro/E, SolidWorks, and others. Services include 2D to 3D conversion (or 3D to 2D if required), and conversion of scanned raster images of engineering drawings, illustrations, or photographs to vector output in a number of selected software formats and delivery platforms.
