"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."
“With ENOVIA, we can query a database for a set of requirements, which helps us avoid the costly process of re-creating something that already exists.”
"We cannot meet tomorrow’s challenges with today’s solutions but we can certainly succeed with innovative ones."
"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 chose the 3DEXPERIENCE platform because we believed it would allow us to do a better job integrating people and ideas, starting at the conceptual stage of product design."
“We focus on our customer to determine what’s important to them. Can our airplanes be a differentiator? Can we de-commoditize them in a way that adds value?”
“We really liked what we saw in CATIA for Yachts. A lot of benefits and savings can be achieved both in engineering and production with an efficient solution like CATIA. There are also more and more consultants and suppliers involved in the projects and CATIA helps tie the knowledge so that information flow is constant and up-to-date."
"Becoming a smart airport is not about technology per se. It’s about how airports apply data generated by sensors that are part of a smart airport’s infrastructure."
"I know it’s work and business, but when you step back and look at our products, it’s pretty inspiring. When your kids ask you what you do, it’s very rewarding to tell them that you get to solve problems and you get to help society. I think about that whenever I’m visiting a hospital.”
"It seems like every company uses two or three different (CAD) programs. We’ve accumulated so many drawings over the years. DraftSight makes it quicker to pull up the drawing and make small modifications. We never have any issues with backward compatibility."
“Due to its unique performance characteristics, FFRP has the potential to enable new development scenarios in deep and ultra-deepwater fields around the globe."
"DeepFlex has a proprietary method of sizing the pipes. They would come to us with their pipe makeup for, say, 10,000 feet of water and 5000 psi burst pressure, and give us a cross-section and the properties we needed for our analysis. DeepFlex has an extensive prototype test program that provides overall results for product performance, but they wanted to build on this and gain an understanding of how the various components in the pipe behave under loading. This is where a tool such as Abaqus FEA can provide the needed insight into product performance.”
"We needed further insight into the performance of each layer of composite to optimize pipe cross section configuration."
“For a 25-year design life, we design for 250 years in terms of fatigue. With offshore umbilicals, failure is not an option.”
