"These boats are very, very technical boats. All of the systems – hydraulics, electronics and cabin fiber work – have to be done perfectly because if you’re better than your opponent, it’ll translate into performance during the race. This also is why we needed the best modeling and simulation applications.”

“In a fiercely competitive international context, design-to-production cycle times for new cars is getting progressively shorter and pressure to reduce costs is particularly intense. In the last few years, the market environment has changed dramatically.”

"We can take advantage of the modular approach enabled by Dassault Systèmes’ offer, which enables us to create more product variants with a fewer number of parts."

“ENOVIA helped us to leverage our intellectual capital and legacy data, and ensured that we can reuse it in the future.”

“Simulation reveals errors that we can easily correct early during the design stage and that would be costly if they were detected during the manufacturing phase.”

“Once the robot program has proven its efficiency in a virtual environment, we can manufacture the fixtures with confidence since we already know they don’t obstruct the moving robot arm.”

“Dimensional clearances for the RCP motor replacement project are as tight as two inches (about 5 centimeters). Simulation gives our workers an intelligent model with an immense return on investment.”

"The use of DS PLM during the planning process reduces overall risk and improves scenario planning for any major project."

“Neutrons have no electric charge, they are fantastic probes to investigate atoms and molecules without damaging them. For example, we can see what happens when a pharmaceutical interacts with molecules and get a much better understanding of its effects that hopefully will lead to better pharmaceuticals.”

“We incorporate all data in our 3D master model to ensure that everyone is aligned. This allows us to make quick and correct decisions on things like integration and requirement changes.”

“When it comes to configuration control and consolidation management, a common platform is essential because it provides a holistic view of the facility.”

“Using CATIA PLM Express, we have been able to design costeffective, flat packable and re-usable boxes making Clip-Lok a formidable competitor in the packaging industry.”

“Thanks to CATIA’s intelligent knowledge-based capabilities, we have reduced our lead time from order receipt to production from three weeks to less than one week.”

“Having material models incorporating time-dependent viscous behavior is very important for our work and we’re now able to simulate both creep and relaxation with Abaqus.”

“On our side of the equation we are looking to ensure quality and reliability while keeping design, manufacturing and maintenance costs low.”
