“For 2009, we plan to model the entire vehicle as a single CATIA assembly, managing all the data in ENOVIA SmarTeam, so that we can comprehensively survey opportunities for improvement before we build.”

"It’s necessary for us to be able to work with, manage, and visualize assemblies and subassemblies with tens of thousands of unique parts. CATIA is crucial for making that possible."

"DELMIA helps build customer confidence in Pemamek because we can show our clients that our solutions will work."

"Dassault Systèmes’ 3DVIA Composer makes it possible for us to produce high quality 3D representations very quickly."

“Thanks to SolidWorks for design modeling and ENOVIA SmarTeam for data sharing and central management, designers and department engineers can more easily interact and collaborate.”

“Current techniques for pressure mapping of mattresses don’t adequately evaluate the underlying supporting foam materials—or how the human body interacts with them.”

“Dassault Systèmes V5 PLM software was selected as the main design-to-manufacture tool for the Mechatronic Degree because it is one of the industry standards among car manufacturers and their suppliers. The need for native files through the supply chain to the OEM is paramount and DS is the only completely …

“Carbon fiber is already used today in electric vehicles, but one limitation is fracture toughness. Anywhere you have a large structural component, there are geometric discontinuities the intersection of an aircraft fuselage with an engine cowling, for instance, or the window frame in a passenger vehicle that present areas prone …

“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.”

"Typically, the manual CAE process consumes two days just to complete one run. Of course, this timing can be reduced if the project is critical, but this is the typical day-to-day turnaround time balancing several projects per engineer."

"What made the difference for the Ford management team was the capability of CATIA to integrate CAE tools. They recognized that the resulting efficiency improvements would be significant."

"With integrated CAD/CAE templates as part of our Digital Vehicle Engineering strategy, we are able to accelerate the initial geometry and analysis generation process. This allows CAE to drive design upfront, rather than validating later in the design process."

"For the cylinder head deck lift analysis it used to take an analyst one to two days to set up the model. But with the template and a CAE-ready model, setup time has been reduced to less than 30 minutes.”

“By eliminating the CAD-to-CAE-to-CAD handoffs, we have saved three to four weeks overall in product development cycle time."

“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.”
