What is Smart Discovery?

Structure

Propulsion

ECS

Landing Gear

IPD provides a smarter product representation, where each component understands:

• Design

• Part

• Product

• Position within product

• Variants and effectivity

• Release status

• Access control

• Occurrence properties

• Systems, functions, zones, mfg stations

• Issues, changes

Independently, without needing to load an assembly

Find content that is:

IN Cockpit zone

AND IN Structure system

PLUS, find content that is within 10 cm of selected bracket

BUT EXCLUDE outer panels


Flexibly apply criteria to find only what is

needed

Regardless of the size of the product




Change Impact Analysis

Simple, efficient, complete, visual

impact analysis

Change impact context

Find all uses of a part

Across all products

But only for the configurations that are valid

And show me valid background content

Smart Discovery based on

authoritative engineering BOM

supports decision making

throughout the product

development and support

lifecycle




Do I need Smart Discovery?

Products are getting more complex

The pace of change is increasing

Multiple domain groups must collaborate on the

product definition

Each domain may require their own product

representation

With more configurations and variants





Engineers can get buried in data, where relevant

information may be difficult to find, scattered across

multiple representations, and out of sync

Data prepping for analysis, DMU, impact analysis,

design can become a process bottleneck, or a

source of error





If you have a need to:

• Work within subsets of a product

that span assemblies

• Work across products

• Work with different representations

of a product

Then Smart Discovery could be the

right solution for you




How can I adopt Smart Discovery?

Smart DiscoverySteps to Adoption

You do not need to change

existing design practices

Populate Smart Discovery

representation using

provided utilitySet up auto-sync so that

changes to assembly are

automatically reflected

Author breakdowns to

organize data (optional)

Adopt Product Configurator

(optional)

Implement issue and change

management (optional)

Use Smart Discovery to set

up contexts for impact

analysis, visualization,

design, and review

Optimize design

practices in NX with

component based

modeling (optional)

Smart Discovery Summary

IPD Smart Discovery reduces the effort of finding and sharing product content

Allowing more efficient, complete, and accurate engineering analysis

Reducing the cost of change by earlier issue identification

Supporting the engineering decision process throughout the product lifecycle

IPD Smart Discovery improves collaboration across organizational teams

Current analysis and design processes and tools do not need to change

Smart Discovery provides a path to full 4GD adoption
