PLANCHA INDOOR/OUTDOOR
Autumn 2018
Collaborative team of 11 students divided into 8 roles
Design an innovative, modular plancha for outdoor and indoor use
Trade : Responsible for product's architecture
Role : Ensure the product architecture, validate the different product components and pre-design the principles of solutions by making technological choices for the digital model. Manage the sharing of CAD on the dedicated software
Context
As part of the "Collaborative Product Design / Use" Value Unit, our team of 11 people developed a plancha using Product Life Management (PLM) tools.
Today, it is essential to master the PLM strategy, which companies are increasingly adopting in order to increase their efficiency: reduced design time, simplified and better protected data sharing, better inter-business collaboration for the most relevant end product possible.
In this educational project, we went so far as to simulate the monitoring of the budget and the progress of the project in order to reproduce real conditions.
The plancha stands out from the barbecue because it is easier to use (setting up, storing, cleaning), it does not emit smoke, and allows vegetables to be cooked better.
Work carried out as a product architect
CAD
-
Create subassemblies according to their interconnectivity
-
Create a skeleton for each subassembly
-
Allow kinematic links between sub-assemblies through skeletons
-
Create parameters to control skeletons in geometry
-
Create the document explaining the creation of the assembly and its proper use
In addition to having the designers work on the CAD of the product, I was able to generate an indicator of the progress of the modelling and diagrams representing the workflow and life cycle of the CAD.

Collaborativ work
The ARAS software allows us to obtain percentages of modified, unchanged, created and deleted parts. The CAD completeness is considered to be the percentage of parts unchanged from one version to another. Thus, if this percentage is low, it is because many modifications have been made to the assembly. On the contrary, a percentage of 100% indicates that no changes have been made.
It was possible to plot the progress of the modelling on a curve, which is richer in information than the current value taken out of context.
The variations in the graph curves show that the modelling was not linear but by "sections". Until the end of the project, the CAD was modified.
Workflow is a schematic representation of the different steps required to move an object (here a PART of the CAD) from one state to another in its life cycle.
For the benefit of the course, the IDEF (Integrated Definition method), a standard for functional modelling, is used. The version used for this method is IDEF3 (Process description and flow analysis).

The BAR allows guests to have a drink around the griddle while the cook is busy, or to put down the different meat and vegetable dishes that may have been grilled there. Under this bar can be stored a PROTECTION plate that isolates the heating plate from the environment when it is left outside.
-
The PLANCHA is a module made of several housings, a heating plate and its resistors, which can be transported inside the house where the INTERIOR USE SUPPORT is connected to the nipple to allow its supply.
-
The SIDE-PANELS have a unique style. They support the bar and the furniture, and are anchored in a solid base on the ground.
-
The STORAGE can be used to store bottles, condiments and spices, which is necessary for cooking on plancha and in the bar, on a summer evening for example. Two DOORS allow access to its content. A false bottom hides the ROLLER of the electrical socket to supply the griddle with power via a plug.
