"JLR deploys DS Version 6 from vehicle design concept, through engineering and manufacturing, to marketing and sales. It’s a robust, seamless and integrated solution that delivers data consistency across suppliers, financial control and supply chains. An ERP interface provides further systems and process synchronization and management. Working with Version 6 …

"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 …

“Now the product development cycle is much more effi cient because we run numerous simulations fi rst and then choose the design that is optimal— before we make anything.”

"With 3DVIA Composer’s 3D animation features all workers have the same level of understanding, which reduces construction time while improving safety."

“Virtual simulation with DELMIA enabled us to prove our build concept, verify the assembly path of the parts in the factory, and more efficiently balance the workload between stations, thereby reducing overall lead times.”

"In EU projects, it is important to demonstrate the potential of the developed technologies and how they can be implemented in products and production. In LOCOMACHS, we chose to implement the most promising technologies in the virtual wing factory of the future to show the possibilities and efficiency of these …

“We initially chose Abaqus because of the breadth of its materials models. The capabilities of the software have grown along with our need for increased sophistication in our analyses. With Abaqus FEA you can model the individual characteristics of each component and relate that to the behavior of the total …

“For optimum performance you need to finetune all the elements that make up a field. We make distinct types of polyethylene grass fibers, plus thermoplastic infill material, and polypropylene woven backing fabrics—all of which must work together for optimum results.”

"Vehicle aircraft systems require the complex design and installation of test rigs in test aircraft. Saab uses 3D data created with CATIA in Dymola – both from Dassault Systèmes – to model and simulate the functioning of its vehicle systems, reducing the risk that design errors will remain undetected until …

"We have a limited team of about 90 designers meaning that the design effort has to be distributed. Without ENOVIA VPLM, it would be very difficult to do the job, and we would need a much larger Design Office team."

"One designer took my methodology and added his own ideas to the skeleton. The first component took him six weeks, the second one week, and the third just days."

"Representing the positions and movements of the human face is a big challenge in designing some of our products."

“Enabling designers, manufacturing staff and customers, each with their own ideas, expertise and know-how, to participate on a project is the best way to create the most efficient design.”

"Our customers are government agencies, harbor managers, ship-owners and shipyards and their needs vary. We therefore design and build watercleaning boats for different situations: from harbor, lake and river clean-up and coastal protection to out-of-port operations to recover all floating waste and oil spill monitoring and recovery in high seas. …

"The 3DVIA team was wonderful. It was smart of us to team up with 3DVIA, that’s for sure."
