"The introduction of CATIA and ENOVIA SmarTeam enabled us to increase production volumes by 80% and to decrease our product rejects by 50%."

“The real benefit of Apriso Quality is to have a common repository for our shirring standard, which makes things easier to compare in our standard and sampling plans.”

“With ENOVIA, we can query a database for a set of requirements, which helps us avoid the costly process of re-creating something that already exists.”

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

“Welds are a complex modeling problem requiring both thermal and structural solutions. We are looking to predict the distortion of components during manufacture, the position and magnitude of peak residual stresses, and the effects of the welding process on the metals involved.”

“Basically you have to rely on your own due diligence because this technology is so advanced. Those of us who work with PSG undertake extensive peer reviews that insist on predictive failure scenarios. Engineered responses are at the center of designing with glass.”

"The complete bracket fitting is designed to introduce the ductility that is missing from glass alone.Using Abaqus to analyze the behavior of the various components lets us visualize all the different forces affecting the glass. With steel alone it’s not a problem because it yields a bit when overloaded. But …

"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."

“We believed a 3D design system would allow us to automate design and manufacturing, as well as expand the range of structural designs that we produce. We are a high-mix, low-volume manufacturer. The faster that we can deliver on a broad range of timber-based structures, the more successful we will …

“By automating design and manufacturing processes, SolidWorks has helped us cut development costs by 50 percent.”

"The ability to design-in-context of the full digital mock-up and perform virtual interference testing in the design stage prevents downstream assembly problems, which can compromise delivery dates."

"With CATIA, component quality is higher and design precision has considerably improved.”

“Using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud, we collaborate globally to make stronger, safer and more reliable trailers than anyone else.”

“If I’m at home or if I’m abroad, the platform is always accessible. When we work with users in other offices, having the information on the cloud makes it much easier to collaborate. In the past, I would have to export analyses, transfer the files – which could be very …

“Time is critical for us; we have to make our trailers on time no matter what. If there’s an issue, we have to solve it within hours, so the shop can keep building without delays. I haven’t seen anything as good as the simulation app in any other software platform. …
