597 Dassault Systemes Testimonials

“We were given pre-existing data for the biocompatible material (a polymer approved for medical device applications) from which the device would be manufactured. The Ogden hyperelastic material model in Abaqus provided an excellent fit with the experimental data."

"Dassault Systèmes was one of the first partners we signed up with for this Cup. Their marketleading solutions haven’t disappointed us for one moment."

"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 period and improve the quality without increasing the number of mock-up creations."

"Before we adopted 3DVIA, we could not produce complex graphic designs. Now, we can produce highly detailed graphic work based on 3D data. Evaluating student work is now much easier because we can review it in 3D."

“ENOVIA Engineering Central is at the core of our Enterprise Configuration Management System.”

"ENOVIA Engineering Central helps LLNL demonstrate good stewardship of taxpayer resources to the Department of Energy.”

“The enormous scope and complexity of LLNL contract requirements demands a PLM system with advanced features and capabilities.”

“PLM helps provide a means for us to reach the full potential of far-reaching energy initiatives that will unfold in the coming decades. Without these capabilities, such a project would not be practical.”

"Configuration management requirements also are being met using ENOVIA Engineering Central for LLNL work at DOE’s Nevada Test Site, where experiments with conventional explosives gather material properties data on nuclear materials to develop and verify simulations for determining how aging nuclear weapons materials would behave if used today."

"Workflow for the review and approval of these documents is now managed by ENOVIA Engineering Central with current revisions accessible online. The facilities can readily demonstrate configuration management of these documents and processes to assessment teams by presenting document logs, revision histories and other relevant compliance records, validating that safety regulations are being maintained and fulfilling vital licensing requirements.”

“Companies have an obligation to satisfy their customers’ demand for quality. It all begins with skilled employees and the right technology, which is why the Dassault Systèmes’ applications are an essential component of our students’ learning process.”

"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."

"We believe our technology has the potential to be one of the most environmentally benign forms of electricity generation. We make sure that we have no greases or fluids in direct contact with the seawater. This is why everything is sealed and the fluids we do use are biodegradable and nontoxic."

"Abaqus has become the global finite element package at PWP, which we now use for practically all our analysis needs. We use it for initial concept analysis, general design work, detailed design work and what-if scenarios. We are also looking to expand the types of analyses we can do by tying it into our dedicated in-house analysis program to directly model machine behavior in the waves. By coupling this with Abaqus, we should get direct results of the machine’s structural component-level behavior hence providing additional stress and fatigue analyses."

"Overall, I’ve found that simulation motivates the students to work harder, and Abaqus is a wonderful tool for this."
