"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."

“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.”

“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. …

“Thanks to data and workflow continuity, we have recorded considerable time and investment benefits and DELMIA plays a crucial role here.”

“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.”

"At team meetings we would project CATIA fi les on the screen, where we could check minute details, modify the design, and verify whether everything was okay in real time."

"This was the first generation car on which we’d used multiple tools from the Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. It helped us collaborate better and improved work fl ow tremendously. We used the software to really great effect."

“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.”

"We used CATIA Design Tables to create 60 different design variations in less than six hours, compared to 120 hours that would have been required using the traditional approach."

“ENOVIA DMU helped us reduce the weight of an axle assembly by helping us better understand how the various parts interacted with each other.”

"We believe our technology has the potential to be one of the most environmentally benign forms of electricity generation. We make sure that we have no greases or fluids in direct contact with the seawater. This is why everything is sealed and the fluids we do use are biodegradable and …

"Abaqus has become the global finite element package at PWP, which we now use for practically all our analysis needs. We use it for initial concept analysis, general design work, detailed design work and what-if scenarios. We are also looking to expand the types of analyses we can do by …

"Dymola allows us to simulate system performance and cost benefit analysis in a virtual environment helping us to make better-informed decisions about how to optimize products."
