“By automating design and manufacturing processes, SolidWorks has helped us cut development costs by 50 percent.”
"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."
“We also opted for the cloud because there was no need to install or invest in additional hardware or software.”
“SQL Server 2005 is the backbone of all Piaggio Aero Industries’ data management and ENOVIA is the backbone of our product and manufacturing data.”
“We selected V6 PLM in order to create a safe, fast, scaleable and powerful collaborative base for an efficient, global, risk-sharing supply chain."
“The future has never been more exciting. We have all these capabilities with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform that allow us to push the limits of architecture.”
“ZAHNER, and AEC industry in general, are pushing the envelope on designs. Whether its designs due to the artistic nature of the exteriors to designs that incorporate modern technologies on how to heat a building, you need an effective collaboration platform. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is a perfect opportunity to get everything on the table so that the AEC industry can advance itself into the modern age, where we can continue to blow past barriers that are there because of traditional construction techniques.”
"Users can tailor the dashboards to their profession and only visualize the information that they need for their job. It’s so intuitive, when I train new hires, they don’t even wait until I get to the chapter on customizing dashboards; they’re already playing with the widgets and changing the layout. That’s how easy it is.”
"The challenge is describing to the customer exactly what they are going to receive at the end of the project because it’s not a standard building product. There’s not a catalog that somebody goes to and picks out the ‘Chrysalis.’ So one important thing that we always try to do is describe to the customer really early on what they’re going to be getting from us at the end of the day. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform helps us do that in real time.”
"We rely heavily on dashboards during our coordination meetings with architects, owners and designers. We post actions that we can consult in real time and discuss during our video conference calls. If we need to clarify some points, the digital model’s right there, so an engineer can zoom in, make a quick sketch, annotate it and save that in our meeting notes. The information will be there a week or a month later, and can be communicated to someone who didn’t attend that meeting.”
"Overall, I’ve found that simulation motivates the students to work harder, and Abaqus is a wonderful tool for this."
"Now that we use simulation, by the time that we do go to run a physical test of a finished redesign, we are confident that it is going to work."
“Tosca, and also Isight, are two programs we are definitely interested in adopting. For future generations of mowers we are going to keep improving our designs— making them more fuel efficient and easier to use. We want to continue down this path of product innovation.”
"What’s fascinating about CATIA is that it allows us to create models just as we imagined them in such a short time."
"Today, you can create business opportunities if you capture a customer’s attention with unrivalled speed and a value-oriented marketing approach. CATIA for Creative Designers is an optimal marketing tool in this regard."
