18.0. "Questions on use of EUCLID in DEC" by RTOEU::WSEEMAYER (Walter Seemayer 089-9591-2311) Wed Aug 09 1989 12:10

Hi there,
    
    I am a MCAD-Consultant in the German ACT (Munich)  doing evaluations on MCAD
    products (for our marketing).
    
    Can anybody answer this questions:
    
    1. How many EUCLID workstations (seats) and users (trained people) are
    in DEC ?
    
    2. What is EUCLID used for in DEC:
    
    	 o witch parts are design (plastic, sheet metal ,...) ?
    	   Is it used for the design of tools too ?
    
    	 o witch modules are used ?

    
    	 o How would you compare it to UGII ?
    	
    
    Regards,
    	Walter

18.1	Boxboro Euclid Usage	CUBICB::BARKER		`Wed Aug 09 1989 13:31`	14
	In the design comunitee [ not including ESG and other marketing groups ] I believe there are 10 active lisc with another 4 planned soon. We are currently designing plastic , sheet metal , die cast parts and complex assemblies in Euclid. We use the solid modeler , sheet metal , mold technology , surface and detailing packages regularly . We are using the mold-flow FEM interface from the mold technology package and are looking at the NASTRAN interface for the future. Thanks Charlie
18.2	other sites ?	RTOEU::WSEEMAYER	Walter Seemayer 089-9591-2311	`Thu Aug 10 1989 03:14`	1
	Are there any other sites using EUCLID ?
18.3	SI & T group in LTN2	PARITY::BARROS		`Thu Aug 10 1989 08:25`	10
	Walter, The Systems Integration & Technology (SI & T) group (LTN2), part of MSB has just purchased 4 Euclid licenses. We are hoping to start using it for real product design sometime in September. Regards, Mojdeh
18.4	Other DEC Euclid sites	CUBICB::BARKER		`Thu Aug 10 1989 14:09`	17
	There are several others just getting started . Ayer Scotland doing workstation / small system work . Littleton Mass doing large midrange systems . Galway Ireland doing support engineering. ESG in Marlboro mass is doing sales and software development. Several other sites are putting plans together. Salem NH doing manufacturing startup. Tewksbury Mass doing support engineering. Other groups are still doing evaluations to see if the product meets their needs. We are about 1 year ahead for the rest of the company in our usage of Euclid. Thanks Charlie
18.5	Ayr & Euclid	44086::SHIELDS	It ain't no drag	`Thu Aug 10 1989 16:48`	11
	I have introduced Euclid to the design process in the newly formed Entry Level Systems PBU in Ayr. Initial results have proved excellent and the software takes the pain out of plastic design. I have yet to use the sheet metal package but have heard very encouraging reports on it. We have currently one licence for evaluatory purposes and are benchmarking it against PRO and UG wireframe. Nick.
18.6	And how about positioning UG vers EUCLID ?	RTOEU::WSEEMAYER	Walter Seemayer 089-9591-2311	`Fri Aug 11 1989 12:09`	9
	Dear Collegues, Thanks for your response. I would like to hear your opinion on how you position EUCLID against UG II. Regards, Walter
18.7	Euclid/UG Study Underway	ALLVAX::PETERSON		`Fri Aug 11 1989 19:55`	14
	Hi Walter. I am from the CAD/CAM Technology Center in Chelmsford, Mass, and the project leader for the Euclid/UG Study that is being conducted. See note 10 in this conference for some background. We are gathering much "positioning" information about Euclid in our study in regards to where it fits in the engineering process in Digital, the types of users who are comfortable with the tool, its strengths and weaknesses in providing productivity gains, issues around integration, learning curve, training needs... We are also obtaining comparison information about UG II 7.0 which will also have a solids modeller. - Leisha
