Patria Vehicles Faster To The Front Patria

NX and Teamcenter accelerate armored vehicle development by 20 to 25 percent

Patria is a defense and aerospace group based in Finland with international operations.  Patria Land Solutions business unit is divided among armored wheeled vehicles, mortar systems and ammunition products. Patria Vehicles develops and delivers medium-weight armored wheeled vehicles and supports their lifecycles. Patria Vehicles' new AMV 8x8 is designed to meet the most demanding military multi-role vehicle requirements.

 

Fast response with modularity and PLM 

Armored vehicles represent significant investments for customers, and their development poses a number of challenges for Patria. For example, even though some customization is always necessary, delivery times are extremely short. Typically, the first vehicles are delivered within 12 months of the initial order. It is critical that projects are started quickly because some of the required components have long delivery times. One way to ensure a fast response is through its use of product lifecycle management (PLM) software from Siemens PLM Software

 

Patria Vehicles chose this solution in part because Siemens PLM Software is highly regarded and well known globally. The other reason for the choice of this solution was the software itself. NX® digital product development software and Teamcenter® digital lifecycle management software provide a competitive, modular CAD system with integrated engineering data management that can be used in a global environment. Also NX can handle the large and complex assemblies containing more than 10,000 parts that are needed in designing armored wheeled vehicles. Finally, this solution is able to reach beyond the design and engineering departments and be used by order processing, sales and marketing and PLM support.

NX CAD- 5 Day Fundamentals Training

December 12-16, 2011- Oxford, MI

  

nx 7Fundamentals for NX Designers as the initial class, is designed to launch students

on the path of productivity. This course is designed to meet the student's expectation to transfer classroom instruction to productivity on the job. The Fundamentals for NX Designers course ignites the student through professional instruction pertaining to product model design, product model detailing, assembly modeling and the basics of the master model concept.

 

At the completion of Essentials for NX Designers the student will productively develop solid models, detail drawings, and product assemblies. The class introduces assembly modeling in the context of a real-life scenario that includes parts modeled by the student as well as part models that have already been created. This reinforces the student's understanding of the flexibility of the solid modeling and assembly tool as it can be applied in the real world of product development collaboration. As with each course developed by Siemens PLM Software professionals, the Fundamentals for NX Designers class capitalizes on CAM Logic's intimate knowledge of the software's development and instructs the students based on the underlying principles incorporated within the NX software.
