“The manual intensity of the analysis process made it excessively cumbersome and like all manual data entry, it could be prone to human error. Also, it was too time-consuming to permit much design modification and iteration, especially given the importance of meeting tight deadlines in the offshore oil and gas industry. It was clear that we would benefit from shortening the process."
“Current techniques for pressure mapping of mattresses don’t adequately evaluate the underlying supporting foam materials—or how the human body interacts with them.”
"Aldo Chiaradia is the Chief Information Technology Officer of the Benetton Group. Prior to his current role Chiaradia held C-level positions in several Italian companies."
“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.”
"Since we’d already been using Abaqus in vehicle cockpit design and testing for thermal, impact and normal modal analyses, it made a lot of sense to simply develop a new load case for squeak and rattle inside Abaqus."
“With Abaqus FEA we can create computer models that let us look inside both the mattress material and human tissues to evaluate internal stresses and strains. This is extremely important because most pressure sores develop from deep within tissue outwards to the skin.”
"We cannot meet tomorrow’s challenges with today’s solutions but we can certainly succeed with innovative ones."
"One of our biggest challenges was to enable people with varying skills and expertise from diverse backgrounds, in different locations to work smoothly together."
“Our activities comprise survey, design, consulting, supervision and general contractor services of railway, road and municipal engineering, including urban rail transit.”
“The 3DEXPERIENCE platform’s parametric modeling capabilities and engineering templates are two of the most intuitive and fundamental advantages for us.”
“Originally, designs were created in 2D and delivered in a distributed manner, making it impossible to establish connections between them.”
"We strongly believe that CATIA will earn us a place in the international market and transform the company into a major sheet metal molding supplier for the automotive industry.”
"We estimate through investments we’ve made in ENOVIA that we’re protecting well over $1 billion in revenue in the EU alone."
“Using Abaqus FEA to identify the allowable limits of the fabric’s performance was very useful. When we found one material that worked, we could use Abaqus to virtually test another, lighter material to see how much we could save on total weight and still provide the right factor of safety.”
“We decided to go with realistic simulation since trial and error was out of the question. We had to be able to build a reliable, finished product design the first time out.”
