CAD Library Data Management
CAD Library Objectives
 Build and Maintain a CAD Library consisting of Off the shelf components

 Mechanical Components ( Seals, Fasteners, Helicoils, PEMS, etc.)

 Standard Components (fan, Hard drive

 Electrical Components (Connectors, Cables, Switches, receptacles, Etc.)

 Electronic Components (Serial/Parallel Connectors, resistors, Computer

Hardware)

 Any Third Party bought out items as a subassembly

Motor Circuit breaker

Benefits of CAD Library Management

 Information on space constraints to avoid interference
 Saves time by avoiding repetitive parts creation & helps to minimize the
CAD Database Size.

 Reduce assembly regeneration failures to ZERO

 100% accurate BOM, accurate mass, CG information Receptacle Harmonic drive

 Reduce design cycle time by providing latest parts in library
