The drive for Quality

摘要

As is the case at all automotive companies today, the designers and engineers at MG Rover rely on the latest CAD/CAM and other associated engineering software tools to help them in their day-to-day work. In the case of MG Rover, Catia from IBM/Dassault Systemes is the principal engineering design and manufacturing system, with Alias Studio Tools being used for early concept design and . ICEM Surf for Class A surface design. In addition, a range of computer-aided engineering tools is used for such tasks as structural and finite element analysis, tolerance stack-up and tolerance analysis and manufacturing planning. All of these tools taken together go towards helping to ensure that designs are fit for purpose, that they will assemble correctly and that they can be cost-effectively manufactured.
