KONAR’s business strategy, which is aimed at attracting the leading oil and gas companies, necessitated a totally new approach to design preproduction, one of the most important areas of the company. After analyzing ways to improve this area of its operations, specialists at KONAR decided that the company needed to modernize its design technology, including introducing 3D-modeling, parametric design and a new generation of highly integrated computer-aided engineering (CAE) software.
“Working for oil and gas industry enterprises, we need to design products with a solution that utilizes a branched structure and complex geometry, as well as makes design re-use easy,” notes Yevgeny Bodrov, the head of the enterprise’s engineering center. “Upon completing a design, we have a large number of two-dimensional drawings, which are ineffective at visually presenting the final form of the product. Moreover, in making corrections, it’s very difficult to simultaneously change a large number of drawings using a 2D CAD system because, very often, changing small parts results in the need to change ten or more product components. There is no such problem using three-dimensional (3D) modeling, because the whole set of drawings is closely related to the 3D product model. Changing the model automatically changes the drawings.”
