Introduction
Creating the “MBOM” A prerequisite for making a DFX analysis is to have an “MBOM” (Manufacturing Bill of Material) that we want to analyze with some kind of DFX approach. A MBOM in AVIX is represented as a hierarchy of Components. The MBOM can either be crea...
DFX analysis
Adding project properties First, (this is optional) add the necessary information about the project and team. Right click on a cell and select DFX properties Add the information DFX ANALYSIS Start working with the DFX analysis is straight forward: ...
Changing DFX aspects
In the upper right corner of the DFX window you can switch to the preferences to view the properties for the current analysis. Select the "down arrow" --> Preferences --> AVIX Preferences --> DFX Note that the set of used aspects can be changed at any tim...
Background
AVIX DFAA (DFA2) is based on a collection of DFA aspects (rules), with focus on optimizing design for automatic assembly, hence DFAA The basic idea is that optimizing design for automatic assembly (robots) will also provide good conditions for humans (e.g...
Running AVIX DFX
When AVIX is running you switch to DFX perspective (module) by pressing on the DFX button The different views or windows will be explained throughout this guide, but let’s start with a quick overview of the view outline: The DFX tab in the upper left co...

Re-evaluating & comparing two designs
After the initial DFX analysis of a certain MBOM, different conclusions will be made about the design and likely resulting in a proposed re-design of the product. It is thus a logical step to compare the “DFA score” for the original MBOM with the new re-desig...
