Generate components based on engineering calculations.

The Engineer's Handbook is a survey of all the knowledge and calculation formulas for Generators and Calculators included in the Design Accelerator.

The Design Accelerator represents an important component of Functional Design. Engineering calculations and decision support identify standard components or create standards-based geometry.

Design Accelerator commands
simplify the design process;
automate selections and geometry creation;
improve initial design quality by validating against design requirements; and
increase standardization by selecting the same components for the same tasks.
Operations performed in Design Accelerator
Design Accelerator tools are divided into three groups:

Component Generators
Mechanical Calculators
Engineer's Handbook
Design components and perform calculations with Component generators. Some generators use Content Center components. For example, the Bolted Connection Generator or Clevis Pin generator. Connect to Content Center to insert components using Content Center component generators. Calculations can be performed without a connection to Content Center.

Use the following Design Accelerator generators:

Bolted Connection
Shaft
Involute Splines
Parallel Splines
Key Connection
Disc Cam
Linear Cam
Spur Gears
Bevel Gears
Worm Gears
Bearing
V-Belts
Synchronous Belts
Roller Chains
Clevis Pin
Joint Pin
Secure Pin
Cross Pin
Radial Pin
O-ring
Engineering calculators use standard mathematical formulas and physical theories in design and validation of mechanical systems.

The following Design Accelerator calculators are available:

Plain Bearing
Plug and Groove Weld
Butt Weld
Spot Weld
Filled Weld (Connection Plane Load) Weld
Fillet Weld (Spatial Load) Weld
Butt Solder Joint
Bevel Solder Joint
Lap Solder Joint
Step Tube Solder Joint
Step Solder Joint
Separated Hub Joint
Slotted Hub Joint
Cone Joint
