597 Dassault Systemes Testimonials

"With CATIA, we’ve reduced piping system design from five months to three to four months. We’ve also improved efficiency and accuracy by 15%, reduced change order requests by 50%, and increased our competitiveness on the market."

"Perhaps the most important benefit we have derived from ENOVIA SmarTeam so far is a 25% reduction in the time needed to communicate engineering changes around the world. Collaboration has become very easy and efficient."

“This is where managing the lifecycle of our products comes into play. We need a PLM system that keeps track of all information related to a product such as technical specifications, design data, regulatory constraints and sales, all based on one platform and accessible to everyone in the company with a need to know."

“We can now make qualitative evaluations of the lifetime of an actual layout of electrical cables. In the future we plan to work on modeling kink-initiated breakages as well as cable breaks caused by wear.”

"Cell phone product design must include an evaluation of the lifetime of the phone’s cables. Since the optimum layout of the cables ensures that their lifetime exceeds that of the product, we need this information at the earliest design stages.”

“The Richter scale is somewhat irrelevant in our country. An earthquake in Japan, for example, could originate from a tectonic event many kilometers below the surface, whereas the ones here are relatively shallow, just a kilometer or three deep. Considering the relatively soft soils in this area, these lower-amplitude earthquakes can still be quite destructive to our buildings and other infrastructure.”

“Regulatory authorities have no reason to question anything since mistakes and misunderstandings can easily be avoided. As a matter of fact, the FDA praised us by saying that we have excellent control over our information.”

“We have a very intuitive user interface and a smarter view of our work. Thanks to ENOVIA, we can ensure that everyone looks at the single version of the truth.”

“With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, we have created a foundation that prepares us for the future. The platform gives us the ability to map the requirements from the start of development to series production, and to manage the development of the appropriate specifications and models.”

"Rolling out a PLM platform is a complex process and it’s important to have a good implementation partner and a relationship of mutual trust. We have a long-standing partnership with Helbling IT Solutions. They are familiar with our development process and the way they’ve implemented the system is in line with how we work."

"One of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform’s biggest advantages is that it provides an integrated solution for the different disciplines involved in product development. All product stakeholders - mechanical, electrical, software development - can collaborate on the most up-to-date version of a product’s data, which promotes a fluid exchange of ideas. This transparency also increases product quality."

“We were doing about 130 SKUs (customer-specific product versions) per year before ENOVIA SmarTeam, and now we have exceeded 200. That’s an increase of more than 50 percent with the same number of resources.”

“For a 25-year design life, we design for 250 years in terms of fatigue. With offshore umbilicals, failure is not an option.”

"We did an evaluation and Abaqus stood out because of its Explicit solver capability for analyzing highly nonlinear, dynamic behavior.”

"With everyone accessing the latest product information, we run fewer risks of manufacturing errors."
