“Fulfilling the promise of solar energy requires modules that last longer and can be used anywhere. We tasked our engineers to use whatever tools were necessary to overcome lifecycle and durability challenges quickly and efficiently.”

“For large-scale designs or design modifications, we reduced the total number of man-hours by 30% thanks to standardization with CATIA.”

"What’s fascinating about CATIA is that it allows us to create models just as we imagined them in such a short time."

"The DS PLM solution combines all our activities in a single platform allowing access to up-to-date information and documentation to all teams from different technical areas. We can plan and orchestrate all tasks effectively even if they are performed at different times and have different timelines."

“Bird strike is a highly dynamic, nonlinear event. Abaqus handles this multiphysics problem well.”

"We looked at a variety of material options for the vertical stabilizer, including all-composite and composite/metal hybrid versions. Each design iteration required its own bird-strike analysis to see if it met the appropriate safety regulations.”

"Paper path design is a challenge no matter what product we are working on. Meeting the final requirements of each printer manufacturer depends on defining, and then designing-in the proper flow of paper through their particular machine.”

"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."

"Abaqus FEA allows structural and thermal simulation, in realistic detail, which enables our team improve our understanding and the functional performance of our Fuel Cell Stack."

"We’re now able to virtually test the strength of our composites in a matter of minutes instead of hours, days or weeks."

"Because of the expense of carbon fiber, we can’t afford to over-engineer. We have to ensure our designs are the most cost-effective solution. Our PLM solutions for composites allow us to do just that."

"Our customer was absolutely floored during a design review when we could say ‘Here are the kits and the material already put into nests so that you can see the efficiency."

“It’s a big ‘aha’ moment for them to realize that a 3DEXPERIENCE model has a lifecycle. It doesn’t start from zero but rather retains its history of embedded information.”

“3DEXPERIENCE connects the two worlds because of the didactic way you go through projects.”

"The key words here are ‘reaction time’. Contrary to our previous solution, CloudView enables us to obtain instantaneous, dynamic results allowing us to take realtime corrective action."
