"Now that all product specifications are held in the PLM database, “it’s far easier to modify designs. We sometimes need to modify parts in an iterative process right up to the last minute. CATIA helps us do this far more easily.”

"We looked at a variety of material options for the vertical stabilizer, including all-composite and composite/metal hybrid versions. Each design iteration required its own bird-strike analysis to see if it met the appropriate safety regulations.”

“Solar Infra and Sandia had experience using the integrated SolidWorks design simulation platform. Because of the collaborative nature of the work, integration between CAD and FEA (finite element analysis) was critically important.”

"Without the DELMIA digital simulation capabilities, the engineers would have to go down to the shop floor and test each robotic configuration manually. DELMIA saved us a lot of time."

"This collaborative effort between ExxonMobil and SIMULIA has led to the development of fundamental improvements in simulation to address key drilling, completion and production challenges in the oil and gas industry."

“It has been a great experience working with SIMULIA engineers on this joint development agreement."

"Simulation has made our work more productive in that more accurate results can be delivered to the business for a small increase in time. Solving these challenges is critical to the business values we are going after."

"These recently developed capabilities combine the sophisticated physics of “research codes” with the ability to run “fast enough” models for full-scale commercial applications. This helps us predict the geometry of hydraulic fractures and the pore pressure changes resulting from oil and gas operations."

"These fully coupled capabilities we’ve developed with SIMULIA allow us to test scenarios that cannot be reproduced in the lab and to apply what we learn to our models with great accuracy."

"The automated workflow allows a much better use of my time. Some properties that aren’t well known in advance can nevertheless be estimated with empirical models. We can also specify ranges of values instead of individual ones to cover areas of uncertainty.”

"Fracturing in unconsolidated sands involves complex failure mechanisms. Our realistic material model is the key to capturing this behavior and optimizing fracturing design. We were pleased that our model captured this key feature. These encouraging results allow us to apply simulation to field scale injection problems at increased length and …

“Just one day after the DELMIA V6 installation, we were milling parts and shipping them to satisfied customers!”

“If we did everything from scratch, it would take many years to get to the level that 3DVIA Virtools gives us right out of the box.”

“With 3DVIA Virtools, we knew we would be able to quickly and easily create any virtual environment and have it work on any multiple display system.”

“It is estimated it would have taken approximately 70 days to complete all 35 runs, while maintaining other day-to-day work; we completed this task in about four days.”
