Design changes, which have to be made during the actual production process due to production requirements, involve considerable effort, costing both time and money. For this reason, it is essential to locate - before production starts - such design specifications that do not meet the available production-facility conditions. In high-wage countries such as Austria, automation is one solution to being competitive with companies from low-wage countries. This leads to a high automation level. To unite both requirements, an offline programming system is used which helps to find discrepancies at an early stage of construction and to raise the automation level. By being able to simulate the welding process, compatibility with the production facilities can be checked with less effort than by prototyping. The lessons learned from the exchange of information between production and design engineering gives a higher level of compatibility, thus cutting the changes required during production. Based on a number of examples of the progress the authors have achieved using this simulation tool, they would like to explain the pros and cons of using simulation software for developing and designing bogies.
