#seu12 - 102 designing environmentally friendly products - prashant b jagtap
DESCRIPTION
This session will introduce the concepts of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and demonstrate how parts and assemblies can be easily analyzed for different environmental indicators like carbon footprint, total energy, etc. from right within Solid Edge. New or experienced designers will learn how to use EcoDesigner to first understand and then improve the environmental footprint of their products. EcoDesigner makes it easy and simple to design environmentally friendly products without spending a lot of time understanding the intricacies and complexities of environmental science. The presentation will also include live demonstrations of EcoDesigner.TRANSCRIPT

A Full LCA Expensive
Deep expertise
Post-Mortem
Screening LCA Inexpensive
Any product Engineer can do it
Early in design cycle

Environmental Impact Assessment any Product Design Engineer can perform using screening LCA
Easy to use:
works on Parts or Assemblies
No prior environmental expertise required.
Flexible: choose recognized assessment methods
Evaluate indicators that are important to your business.
Extensible: incorporate your own material data
Collaborate:
work with internal/external sustainability experts
Leverage your own sustainability data

Chassis 2 Analysis
Aluminum Wt. = 49.11 lbm

Chassis 2 lighter by ~40%
Chassis 2 Material/Mfg impact is higher
Which design is better?
Chassis 2 still a better design
Goal is to decrease impact of dominant phase which is fuel consumption.
Reduction of Weight contributes to better fuel mileage.

Designing environmentally friendly products should be incorporated early in design cycle
Screening LCA analysis is tightly integrated in Solid Edge
Any Product Designer can use EcoDesigner without prior knowledge or understanding of Environmental Engineering
