Simulation of Real-World Industrial Equipment Operating Conditions with 3DEXPERIENCE Platform Optimizes Quality and Durability.

"Single Source for Speed" leverages SIMULIA applications to virtually predict real-world behavior of component parts, large scale structures, and complete systems before manufacture and start-up. With a deeper understanding of a product’s function earlier in the design cycle, heavy equipment manufacturers can quickly detect and resolve design issues, explore design alternatives and better comply with requirements, without physical testing.

"Heavy mobile machinery and equipment manufacturers design some of the most complex products in the world under highly competitive market conditions,” said Philippe Bartissol, Vice President, Industrial Equipment Industry, Dassault Systèmes. “Although simulation plays a central role in testing and validating, it is often performed late in the design cycle using a variety of niche tools. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform helps companies like Caterpillar reduce development costs and satisfy their customers with robust product performance."
