What is TOPGUN

• TOPGUN Provides a Vehicle for Best of the Best
  CATIA Engineers and Designers to Test Their
  Skills at Developing the Most Accurate and
  Correctly Structured Three Dimensional Model, in
  the Least Amount of Time
• Hewlett Packard Provided C-3600 UNIX Workstations
  for CATIA V4 and the Visualize X-Class for NT
  Workstations
• AES Developed Model and Drawing
• COE Provides the Winners Plaques and
  Administrative Support
• PlanetCADs DesignQA? and GeometryQA? are used to
  Determine Geometrical Accuracy, Compliance with
  Model Structure Requirements, and Modeling
  Duration
• Prescients DriveQA? Is used to Analyze and
  Report Results
• Microsoft Provided Additional Prizes

Purpose of TOPGUN

• Demonstrate Variation in CATIA Model Quality
• Demonstrate Variation in CATIA Modeling
  Techniques
• Demonstrate Automated CATIA Model Error Detection
  and Assessment
• Provide the Opportunity for a COE Attendee to
  Earn the Bragging Rights to the Best CATIA Modeler

DesignQA?

• DesignQA automates standards enforcement into the
  engineering and design session DesignQA provides
  over 120 standards to address
• Modeling practices
• Poor modeling techniques
• Design completeness
• Improper identification
• Improper structure
• Drawing standards
• And more...

6
GeometryQA?

• Visualize geometric problems quickly
• Suggests corrections of geometric problems
• Continuous learning
• Highlights and explains problem geometry within
• native CATIA
• GeometryQA provides 39
• standards
• Fast results
• Intuitive interface
• Provides geometry quality
• document
• Geometry quality metrics
• Out of the box standards based
• on VDA1 and VDA2

7
DriveQA

• DriveQA is a PC-based management tool that
• depicts the health of the design organization
• identifies key problems
• reports cost impacts
• monitors process improvements
• Comprehensive quality management for engineering
  design

DriveQA Dashboard A window into your design
quality environment
