Success Story

Giving Flexibility to Complex Designs

Giving Flexibility to Complex Designs

Customer challenge

The complexity itself manifests further into the involvement of cost, functionality and time efficiency. The ‘catch-22’ is that complex designs require flexible solutions but complex designs leave little room for flexibility. An example of a complex project was the design of chute wear plates. Chute wear plates are custom manufactured to individual plant needs and have to handle various dynamic loading of high frequency for a long period of time.

Project goals

In industry of mechanical design, a foundational issue usually experienced is the trade-off of design flexibility when there is an increase in complexity. Complexity from the interrelation of different components, or the build of the component itself, makes alterations come with higher risks of affecting the feasibility or safety of the design. However, it is no surprise that the more complex the design, the more iterations and changes are required to suit the ever-transitioning requirements.

Solution

Most know that engineering design is usually a highly iterative process, where steps may be repeated countless times to test and uncover alternative possibilities for a solution till the most ideal one is achieved. For a large-scale design process such as a chute wear plate, there are many possibilities or options for iteration that keeping it efficient is a challenge in itself. Autodesk PDM allows designers flexibility in trialing different design solutions and yet establishes efficiency

Business outcome

Utilizing Autodesk products since 1997 allowed Bossong Engineering to complete projects accurately even with project scopes open to frequent change. The use of Autodesk Vault to enable collaboration between themselves, contractors and clients allows them to complete work efficiently, reliably and has enabled Bossong to service a wide range of clients across multiple industries. AutoDesk software has allowed Bossong Engineering to become known as a market-leading, innovative Engineering company.

Conclusion

Due to the large variety of project types, Bossong Engineering has experience in projects ranging a multitude of complexities and scales. Managing projects across a range of diverse structures require flexibility in the methods of coordination, control, and flexibility afforded, especially where it is common to have changes in scopes from project initiation to its completion.

Mineral Resources Leads Innovation with Autodesk

All engineering disciplines are involved in these mega-sized projects where visualising the project in its entirety is a feat in itself, even more so with interconnecting disciplines. One of Mineral Resources Limited's (MRL’s) most complex mining projects was the design, commission and operation of the Mt. Marion lithium mine site. The main challenges involved the mobilization, processing of a large number of rocks and development of the site to cater for human resources or on-site workers. Machinery designed for particular processes and the rapid deployment of them into the field requires intensive design, planning and stress-testing to ensure designs can withstand the intense and heavy workloads for which they are subject.

MEP Toolsets Boost Productivity for HVAC Expert

Peter undertakes projects which range in sizes, from smaller projects of lesser inputs, to the larger projects of multi-story buildings. According to Peter, when it comes to designs and drawings, the greatest challenges are in the time frames given by clients, whereby the larger projects require much more time and can take several months or more to complete based on their complexity and the large number of drawings. Accuracy becomes an issue when working within a rushed and intensive timeline.
