Concept design at Haydndesign requires that we understand the varied requirements of Sales, Marketing and the technical specification on new product design.
 

• The 'knock on' to the engineering function requires us to undertake competitor evaluations, consider materials, available production processes and by 'laying out' various concepts in Pro/ENGINEER®, we can then quantifiably decide on the best approach to take, using Pro/Mechanica® and CFDesign® for design optimisation and analysis.

• Animations can also be useful in describing the principles of a new design, to allow better understanding of the concept to all disciplines, and allows customer evaluation and comment on a design prior to expensive manufacture. Haydndesign can provide these services to help spread the 'word' on your revolutionary new design.

• Manufacturing processes are essential to a cost effective product introduction, with many years of successful product introduction the specification of materials, suitable production process encompassing sheet-metal, precision machining, forgings, castings, mouldings, finishing, labels, all are catered for with suitable manufacturing documentation and tolerance consideration to enable a successful product.

The animation on this page demonstrates an evolving design of a 6 speed Sequential racing gearbox (circa 2000)

 - By using Pro/Mechanism we set up the skeleton to control via drivers the required timings, then through the use of the trace curve we generated the barrel cam profile
 - This animation was used by the 'HowStuffWorks' team after they found it on the web, so it does help to explain a principle when you can see it.

We thought that Pro/design-animation® would assist demonstrate the principles of clutch-less racing gear changes. Originally done in rev2001. At one time this was an example of how to use the ProE functionality effectively on the www.ptc.com website.
