Army’s Defense Ammunition Center Implements Solid Edge® For Computer-Aided Design of Ammunition Handling Systems and Ammunition Peculiar Equipment

Software Purchase Prompted By Need For Faster Drawing Creation and Use Of Design Data For Safety Analysis and ISO 9001 Process Documentation

PLANO, Texas -- UGS PLM Solutions, the product lifecycle management (PLM) subsidiary of EDS, today announced the Army’s Defense Ammunition Center (DAC) selected Solid Edge® as its computer-aided design (CAD) system following a yearlong evaluation to update its previous 2D and 3D systems.

McAlester, Okla.-based DAC purchased 25 licenses of Solid Edge for use in the design, testing and safety validation of ammunition loads, which may be transported, stored and handled by numerous conveyances for the U.S. Department of Defense. Solid Edge also will be used to design equipment, which will be utilized in the maintenance and demilitarization of ammunition.

DAC’s objective was to move from the 2D design process to 3D in order to shorten the time it takes to produce multiple drawing sets as well as to use 3D data with Finite Element Analysis software to determine the safety of the ammunition handling platforms before they are constructed. DAC also targeted a need for design management, specifically documenting its recent ISO 9001 certification processes.

Dual technical support for DAC’s Solid Edge implementation is provided by UGS PLM Solutions as well as A+ Integrated Solutions Inc., a Solid Edge value-added reseller doing business in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana.
