DFA analysis is carried out on a graphical chart as shown below:

The single DFA analysis chart works well for products with up to about 100 parts. With more than that, the chart can get unwieldy and difficult to navigate. To overcome this problem, TeamSET enables you to link multiple assemblies together.
The product structure is defined using the structure editor as shown below.
Assemblies are attached to the structure (shown in yellow in the editor window). These are analysed separately, and the overall results combined in a DFA summary chart.
The printout of the DFA chart is in Visio format. It contains summary information as well as the chart, and may be easily imported into other documents.
The TeamSET Manufacturing Analysis (MA) module complements and fully integrates with TeamSET Design for Assembly. It examines the materials and processes used to manufacture individual components.
Take a look at our case studies to see what has been achieved using Design for Assembly.
