"It’s not impossible to design mining trucks without using simulation; other companies do it all the time. But the only way to design a marketleading, optimally weightefficient truck is with advanced simulation tools like LMS durability and multibody software, tools that we not only should use, but must use. We can’t maintain our market leadership any other way."
"The synchronous technology tools of NX, such as ‘replace face’ and ‘move face,’ allow quick evaluation of different surface geometry without needing to go back and edit ‘foundation’ features early in the part navigator. For example, we can look at a few vent concepts before committing to changing the underlying sketches and related features. The tools of NX are really powerful; with one action we can achieve what takes several steps using traditional industrial design tools. This allows more time to concentrate on getting the concept and user experience right."
“Solid Edge is very intuitive compared to other programs. It is the easiest [CAD software] to use that we have found.”
"Although we have a diverse product range, we try very hard to keep our designs modular, and Solid Edge for SharePoint allows us to re-use our designs very easily and accurately.”
“With the upgrade of our existing PLM system, we have seen significant improvements in data management and migration, BOM control, and collaboration. All of these improvements have helped us reduce costs and speed time to-market. Our company has become more competitive and stronger in the global market, and we will be sure to further enhance our innovation process based on the needs of the users in our next stage of PLM expansion.”
“The costs of nonconformities and delays due to design faults have virtually disappeared.”
“We have obtained 100 percent traceability for all parts; this allows us to keep a small and agile structure.”
“Jack is very appropriate for most assignments. It can be easily learned and it permits a 3D design to be rapidly placed in the ergonomic context.”
"Teamcenter is made especially for multi-site product teams, such as those we have at FEI.”
"With Siemens’ PLM solution, the unique capabilities of our different sites now complement each other. And because they can work together, we can get products to market sooner.”
“Teamcenter is the optimal solution for effectively managing data at power generation facilities.”
“NX is not only a powerful tool in the field of product development, but also a great vehicle for exploring advanced technologies and theories. The NX system provides a complete set of CAD, CAM and CAE tools. NX makes it easy for students to methodically learn and practice the different processes during product development.”
“Providing the essentials needed to create detailed and intelligent factory models, FactoryCAD allowed our planners to use ‘smart objects’ to represent their factory resources.”
“Manufacturing engineers used Process Simulate to validate hanger design that could support sufficient door opening. The limit to which the doors can be opened was calculated based on the virtual 3D simulation, instead of waiting for actual parts to arrive at plant. This resulted in cost and saving of time and iterations of the hanger design.”
“In 2007, we selected and introduced the Tecnomatix solution, because it offers a full range of digital manufacturing tools that serve our needs, integrates smoothly with our existing product data management systems and clearly stands out in meeting the criteria we had defined."
