“Dassault Systèmes CATIA, Gehry Technologies Digital Project, and Microsoft® Office 2007 form the technical backbone of our ability to produce buildings that would otherwise prove impossible to deliver.”

"With [Dassault Systèmes'] BIOVIA Discoverant I can see things I didn’t even dream of before."

“With CATIA, drawings are easy to read and that certainly contributes to improvements in fitting performance and productivity.”

“Welds are a complex modeling problem requiring both thermal and structural solutions. We are looking to predict the distortion of components during manufacture, the position and magnitude of peak residual stresses, and the effects of the welding process on the metals involved.”

"Abaqus is our preferred nonlinear solver. It has powerful composite analysis capabilities, especially for 3D elements such as in our LIR study.”

"I don’t believe anything on the market comes close to CATIA in handling complex, compound surface geometry – surfaces that break in two directions at once.”

“This complex analysis was possible thanks to the parametric capabilities of the Abaqus model, and the impact on future flip-chip design is positive.”

"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."

"The most important point to consider in designing single-lens cameras is that they will be hand-held. It’s necessary to optimize camera handling as well as button and dial locations, and then design the style. CATIA is a very reliable tool for our designers since detailed and fine adjustments like these …

"For Nikon designers, CATIA has become an essential tool. CATIA has overwhelmingly improved efficiency, reducing the design lead time down to one-third. Mock-ups are currently created three to four times before finalizing the shape, and we believe that the key to improving product competitiveness is to further reduce the design …

"CATIA helps us innovate as it’s easier to show what we have in mind and to transfer this to a 3D model. We can also capitalize on previous knowhow and customize the designs we already have to create new ones. This has considerably boosted our design capabilities."

“The 3DEXPERIENCE platform helps us design and simulate the best package. We can rapidly come up with many different alternatives that customers can visualize in a digital environment before choosing the best one for physical prototyping.”

“Once I have a 3D file, I import it into CATIA, and create as many sections of the bottle as I need. Otherwise, I would need to cut the actual bottle to obtain these samples, which would be deformed in the process. I can then redesign the bottle and create …

"Indeed, a major business driver in today’s competitive packaging market is to deliver high quality products at a lower cost. Therefore, bottles must be lightweight, which reduces our customers’ costs because less plastic is used to produce the bottles. However, bottles also need to be sturdy and stable to withstand …
