Abstract

InthisprojectCatiaisusedasCADsoftwarewhileANSYSisusedforanalysisofequivalentstressandtotal deformation.ThisstudyconductsananalysisofPlatformsharinghastheabilitytobeusedintoomanydifferentmodels.However, inthemindoftheconsumers,theproductsmaybetoosimilarandmoreexpensiveproductsmaybeperceivedtobecheaper.Thetwo elements of platforms are constant and non-constant. If the non-constant elements are not designed to be easily integrated into the constant elements of the platform, extensive and expensive changes will have to be made in order to make the elements compatible again. Failure to do so negates the purpose of platform sharing in that it increases costs as opposed to reducing them.
