“Simulation was a critical component in this development from literally paper sketches to millions of bottles. As a result, we were able to bring the concept to market in less than three years, compared with typical six to eight years previously. Our new concepts are maturing even faster.”

“To manage end-to end development from design to manufacturing between our different sites, we adopted the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, which will allow us to rapidly develop and deliver tailored solutions to market.”

“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 to failure in the event of a crash or overload.”

"CATIA has saved us significant time and allowed us to design structures more efficiently to reduce weight of our composite parts and of the total vehicle."

"With CATIA Composites you design as efficiently as possible, with the least amount of material and the least amount of waste."

"We needed a design package that could handle mechanical assemblies such as the engine, suspension and drive train systems, as well as the complex, aerodynamic surfaces of the fuselage, wings and controls."

"We’ve concluded that our simulations demonstrate significant benefits from the use of FEA to predict the behavior of large-scale confined inflatables, as well as estimate quantities that can’t be directly obtained from physical experiments."

"Using bladeMesher and Abaqus, we can look at 20 different sweep geometries in a couple of weeks. If you were trying to evaluate all of those on a test rig, you’d be talking about a couple of years."

"With simulation, you can gather so much more accurate information than using strictly simplified bench tests. Abaqus can accurately simulate the complexities of the TAVI procedure and products, which allows us to be very confident in the results."

"I believe this technology will have an important clinical implication. It will allow the selection of both the type and size of the valve for a particular patient. Such tailored medicine has the potential to significantly improve current TAVI planning and reduce complications."

“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.”

“If new package designs can be simulated before any samples are made, bottle and preform design iterations happen more quickly and cheaply, speeding up the entire design chain and resulting in quicker time to market.”

“Our bread and butter are one-of-a-kind, high-precision custom jobs. Our owner has been willing to change with the times and is never one to skimp on equipment. He doesn’t ever want to hear the word ‘can’t’ and we’ll try to do things most other companies won’t even attempt."

"The achieved speed of resource estimation with Surpac 6.7 is really impressive. With Surpac 6.7, we had a large model that allowed us to increase the number of samples for estimation. The outcome was 16 times faster than with Surpac 6.5.1 and 10 times faster than the speed achieved with the Surpac 6.6.1. As a Surpac user, I appreciate the resource estimation improvement seen in Surpac 6.7 and the great time savings it provides. It is such an important enhancement, which will be difficult for the rival companies to outdo."

“ENOVIA SmarTeam links all relevant project information and documents, making product data transparent to all the departments and people involved in the process.”
