“Weight is a major concern in all drone development. Even a reduction of 100 to 200 grams is a big deal, and a reduction of the magnitude of 10 pounds simply by using a lighter but just as strong material can lead to improved performance, such as doubling the flight time. With 3DEXPERIENCE Works SIMULIA simulation tools, we not only developed a better performing drone design but also slashed manufacturing costs substantially.”

“The SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation studies enabled us to customize the tool by putting a band around the bit, so that two-thirds or more of the air went down the shaft, We needed an adequate split of air to let the cuttings fall by gravity, where the trapped miners kept busy clearing about eight dump-truck loads of spoil. SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation allowed us to recon gure the tool and reach the miners faster.”

“Advantage for [ECCO] in implementing SolidWorks Plastics is the ability to understand how a part is going to behave in tooling.”

"I was attracted to SolidWorks because I felt that using a feature-based parametric platform would be the most productive way to get my job done."

“By saving time, improving accuracy, and eliminating design errors, we can take on more projects in the same amount of time. The ability to work more accurately and effi ciently benefi ts both our internal operations and overall business trajectory. With SOLIDWORKS, design, production, and assembly go more smoothly, and the higher level of quality that we produce leads to greater customer satisfaction and business growth.”

“We still give quizzes to make sure the students watch the lectures, but by providing students with the opportunity to learn and use SOLIDWORKS to design and simulate actual products, we are reinforcing the physics, plastic flow, and mathematical concepts contained in the lectures. Instead of just memorizing equations, students now have the chance to learn how to form and apply equations by establishing the input parameters for SOLIDWORKS Plastics mold-filling simulations.”

"I can pull up my designs on a tablet and take it to a meeting. From my phone I can run a quick simulation that’s already set up. If I want to run a simulation, I don't need the actual hardware to run it. I love the 3DEXPERIENCE platform because it allows me to do my job with my co-workers in such a fast and clean way where not only do I get my job done quicker, but I get it done better."

“We use the photorealistic rendering and animation tools in SolidWorks software to produce user how-to videos on the web. With these tools, we have produced over 100,000 DVDs that show how the saw works. We also use renderings to produce our user manuals since it is easier to create an animation than to videotape a saw. With SolidWorks software, we can also use cutaways and transparencies to show what is happening inside. All these tools help us to design, manufacture, and market our table saws better.”

"SOLIDWORKS surfacing and large assembly design tools have allowed us not only to design faster."

“The combination of SOLIDWORKS design and SOLIDWORKS Visualize software speeds up the process because whenever we need to make a change in SOLIDWORKS, the changes get transferred over to Visualize automatically. This allows us to reach final designs that everyone can agree on faster, resulting in a roughly 10 percent reduction in the entire design-through-manufacturing process.”

“When most people think of flying, it’s for transportation purposes and not for a joy ride; this is especially true when you fly commercial, On the sport aviation side, transportation is not your primary goal. You’re flying because you enjoy the experience. It’s similar to driving a classic car or motorcycle versus a commuter vehicle. With a classic car, you can take it out on the weekend and drive without much of a destination. You enjoy the vehicle, the weather and yourself. That’s how sport pilots approach aviation. You can obviously use your aircraft to get from Point A to Point B, but it’s more than just for transportation. Sport aviation is more about sport than transport.”

"We looked at other CAD packages out there, but we chose SolidWorks for its ease of use and outstanding performance."

“We have signifi cantly transformed our working methods in only two years, which has a very direct effect on our company’s results. Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS technology helps us to maintain our market positioning, with the assurance that we are working along the right lines to offer our clients innovative and high quality products.”

“We’ve relied on SOLIDWORKS mechanical design and FEA (finite element analysis) tools since the beginning. As fuel-cell applications have grown, we’ve sought to duplicate our mechanical engineering performance on the electrical systems side of our development effort.”

“It’s quite easy to place sensors, actuators, and transducers, and interface cables to the physical components. Then, we can hit the magic button that does all the wiring. SOLIDWORKS Electrical is truly a keen bit of software.”
