"Abaqus enabled us to quickly and efficiently visualize the effects of taking different approaches."

"This includes all mechanical engineering systems, ventilation, sanitary systems, fresh water lines, electrical, window wipers and pneumatics. Our role in mechanical engineering is to ensure that all systems are positioned and functioning correctly, and that we make efficient use of the space we have available. CATIA is used to design …

“Being able to see a digital model of a ship before production begins is an unforgettable experience for our customers.”

"Simulating a blast event provides important, realistic data without the risk of involving test subjects."

"The FEA model is an effective tool to plan and critique each series of experiments."

“By using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, we have a reliable and high-performing solution. It has opened many doors for us in terms of new business.”

“It’s a powerful design tool meeting Spark’s needs. The platform saves us time; it is simple and very intuitive to use.”

"As information is centrally managed with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, designers spend more time innovating and less time searching for information. This helps us to cut costs and time to market and to stay ahead of the competition."

"We chose the 3DEXPERIENCE platform because we believed it would allow us to do a better job integrating people and ideas, starting at the conceptual stage of product design."

“We focus on our customer to determine what’s important to them. Can our airplanes be a differentiator? Can we de-commoditize them in a way that adds value?”

"The most important point to consider in designing single-lens cameras is that they will be hand-held. It’s necessary to optimize camera handling as well as button and dial locations, and then design the style. CATIA is a very reliable tool for our designers since detailed and fine adjustments like these …

"For Nikon designers, CATIA has become an essential tool. CATIA has overwhelmingly improved efficiency, reducing the design lead time down to one-third. Mock-ups are currently created three to four times before finalizing the shape, and we believe that the key to improving product competitiveness is to further reduce the design …

“Thanks to SIMULIA XFlow, we can test several scenarios— different shapes, wind speed, sea conditions—and get our results quickly to come up with an attractive shape for optimum seaworthiness and fuel consumption.”

“Our response time has considerably improved—to build a 74-foot boat takes us 3 ½ months compared to 6–7 months in the past.”

“With SIMULIA XFlow, we can run endless simulations; we can create abstract shapes and simulate them any way we want—a revolutionary way to design boats.”
