NEW: DigiPara Liftdesigner for Autodesk Inventor

We are happy to announce an enhanced DigiPara^® Liftdesigner version that works with the 3D mechanical design software Autodesk^® Inventor^®.

DigiPara Liftdesigner for Autodesk Inventor is especially designed for the R&D department, so elevator companies can

• quickly develop new elevator configurations
• reduce development time and costs by standardizing the elevator design process
• limit lost data by working with the same program, in the R&D, sales and order processing department

DigiPara Liftdesigner is a sophisticated Intelligent Elevator Configurator, which consists of predefined elevator parameters, component structure and elevator logic. It combines all the important elevator information, which removes the elevator company’s need for developing their own solutions. The centralized data management limits lost data across departments and allows engineers to easily maintain, reuse and distribute products to colleagues, partners and clients.

With a large Manufacturer Library of more than 65 suppliers, it allows elevator companies to simply assemble an elevator by selecting supplier components. By making the own components public, elevator companies can share and promote new products to other DigiPara Liftdesigner users.

The integrated Cabin Configurator helps engineers to configure the main cabin characteristics (mirrors, handrails, flooring, wall panels, etc.) to create cabin approval and installation drawings.

DigiPara Liftdesigner: Changing the passenger weight for another standard

From time to time we get the question, how the weight per passenger can be changed for a specific DigiPara Liftdesigner project.

The operation is easy to manage, if you know how to. Below is the basic situation for EN 81 that uses 75 kg per passenger.

 

Let's say, you need a configuration for MALAYSIA and 68 kg, you have to change 2 values.

Make sure you show the data tree and property grid side by side or below each other. In the data tree, do not double click, just a single click.

The final result reflects the change on the drawing. The designation of the standard, and the nominal load is updated accordingly.

 

(When I did this example I was not 100% percent sure, whether 68kg is correct for Malaysia.)

Please let us know if you have comments on that.
