CHALLENGE: : General Electric had a number of legacy drawings for their valve design and required the models in 3-D to allow them to perform proper fluid flow analysis as well as seismic analysis on the valves.
APPROACH: The 2-D drawings were evaluated, and the specific group in General Electric went through WMD Squared’s onboarding process for new customers to determine all the requirements from GE for this project. This is a critical step in a drafting project, as WMD Squared has seen several cases where a significant additional cost was added to the project when additional criteria were added after 100’s of drawings had been completed.
IMPACT: WMD Squared completed drawings and models for an entire family of valves in a short time frame which allowed GE to provide the required certifications to their customer.
