CPDC: Conceptual Postprocessing Divergent Convergent. This tutorial describes a relevant task within the conceptual engineering process that consists of post-processing the SSC (Spectrum of Solution Concepts) to understand and classify the solutions achieved, and deepen the learning of the problem. Its objective is to obtain new solutions, either by association of pre-existing ones, by the discovery of conceptual omissions or by a crisis of ideas and paradigms that induces the breaking of molds and the appearance of disruptive concepts. In order to properly contextualize this task, all the milestones of the conceptual stage are reviewed, highlighting the moment in which the CPDC is executed and glimpsing its relevance.

PCDC: Postproceso Creativo Divergente Convergente Este tutorial describe una tarea relevante dentro del proceso de ingeniería conceptual que consiste en postprocesar el ECS (Espectro de Conceptos de Solución) para comprender y clasificar las soluciones alcanzadas, y profundizar en el aprendizaje del problema. Su objetivo es de obtener nuevas soluciones, ya sea por asociación de las preexistentes, por el descubrimiento de omisiones conceptuales o por una puesta en crisis de ideas y paradigmas que induce la rotura de moldes y la aparición de conceptos disruptivos. A fin de contextualizar adecuadamente esta tarea, se repasan todos los hitos de la etapa conceptual resaltando el momento en el que se ejecuta el PCDC y vislumbrando su relevancia.

Animaciones sencillas, cuadro a cuadro

Beginner
Existen muchas maneras eficientes de hacer animaciones a partir de modelos CAD, tales como las creadas en el módulo Motion de SolidWorks. Sin embargo, siguen siendo de gran utilidad las animaciones sencillas, creadas cuadro a cuadro, por su flexibilidad para ser editadas con gráficos y textos, manipular sus tiempos y transiciones, etc. Este tutorial brinda algunos tips para crear giff animados en PHOTOSCAPE a partir de imágenes tomadas de la pantalla de SolidWorks.

The following comments are based on an example (https://grabcad.com/library/g-train-1) that is in its early stages of conceptualization and that is not intended to focus on "the technical benefits of a solution" but on "the correct work methodology" in conceptual engineering, timely attending to aspects related to wealth/diversity/divergence of thought:

Conceptual Design of Dovetail Joint
Marcelo Valderrey
in
Theory

4
Beginner
Some solutions to the challenge posed by https://grabcad.com/steen.winther are presented: impossible dovetail joint? Each one starts their attempt from a particular situation, which can lead them to first find a solution (such as the rectilinear one) and later others (such as the circular ones). What this tutorial intends is to show the style of conceptual thinking that allows "discovering the rules behind particular cases" to conclude that all possible solutions actually derive from "the same idea". Note: this type of challenge is useful for those who do not know the solution or other similar cases. The idea is to force the process of generating and evaluating ideas. Once you know the case, the opportunity to discover solutions is lost!

Beginner
There are many efficient ways to make animations from CAD models, such as those created in the SolidWorks Motion module. However, simple animations, created frame by frame, are still very useful because of their flexibility to be edited with graphics and text, manipulate their timing and transitions, etc. This tutorial provides some tips for creating animated giffs in PHOTOSCAPE from images taken from the SolidWorks screen.

Equipos fundamentales de un desbaste alternativo

Beginner
Este tutorial muestra los tres equipos principales de un desbaste alternativo para laminación en caliente: a la salida del horno se ingresa en una mesa de guías volcables que orienta el material hacia los distintos canales de un stand (o columna) trío. Del otro lado es recibido por una mesa basculante que lo toma del nivel superior (entre el cilindro medio y el superior) y lo reencauza en otro canal a nivel inferior (entre el cilindro medio y el inferior). En otros tutoriales se hace hincapié en tríos y dúos de laminación, pero este en particular se enfoca en la mesa basculante (y diversas modificaciones mecánicas, hidráulicas, etc. para alcanzar mayor confiabilidad y productividad).
