Solutions
Five fields of application – each with what CadPilot does today, what it does not do and what is planned.
Engineering automation
For engineering teams with recurring tasks.
Today
- Sketches, pads, pockets, holes, patterns and surfaces on request
- Set parameters, formulas and properties
- Views, images and exports into the working folder
- Every change measured and undoable
Not included
Selecting specific edges and faces (fillet, chamfer, draft) is not yet dependable.
Next planned
Stable references to edges and faces after validation.
Design assistance
For engineers who need a sound proposal from a sketch.
Today
- Proposal with reasoned assumptions instead of many questions
- Plan load cases, spot welds, hole patterns and locating schemes in advance
- Skeleton in CATIA: points, axes, tilted planes
Not included
No FEM, crash or manufacturability statement; the engineer builds the sheet metal part.
Next planned
The sheet metal skeleton completely in CATIA.
Engineering quality
For leads who want consistent checks.
Today
- Rule check for sheet metal parts: radii, distances, beads, cups, e-coat, sealing
- Measure, check clearance, compare variants
- Quality profile: mandatory attributes, material, naming patterns
Not included
The rule check works on the dimensions it is given, not directly on the CATIA model.
Next planned
Check rules directly on the real model.
Batch analysis
For CAD methods and quality assurance.
Today
- Quality report across a folder of released parts, with run time
- Batch summary and batch export
- Bill of materials as CSV for Excel
Not included
Batches run against one CATIA session, not in parallel on several machines.
Next planned
Time measurement at future design partners as evidence of the saving.
Engineering knowledge and rule packs
For companies and service providers with their own rules and customer standards.
Today
- Knowledge base with 132 rules, each with source and evidence level
- Own limits and rules as a rule pack – without code changes
- Rule packs stay on your machine
Not included
Not every rule is possible: own rules build on the existing measures.
Next planned
Drawing and check profiles from the rule pack.
Which workflow fits you?
In a pilot we choose a real workflow together and measure what it delivers.
