Innovation in work vessels: from design to operation with virtual twins
Tugboats, maritime search and rescue (SAR) vessels, port and offshore support vessels, or offshore support vessels (OSVs) all have one thing in common: they are essential for safety and operations at sea. Their reliability must be absolute, and at the same time they...
Shipyards 4.0: digitizing processes to build safer and more efficient vessels
Shipbuilding is undergoing a period of profound transformation. Customers are demanding more sustainable, safer, and more complex vessels, while shipyards must deliver projects within increasingly tight deadlines and reduced margins. In this context, modernizing...
Machining smarter, not harder: how to extend tool life without sacrificing productivity
In CNC machining, the pressure to increase productivity often leads to using increasingly aggressive cutting parameters. In the short term it may seem like a solution, but the result is often the opposite: accelerated tool wear, higher risk of breakage, and unstable...
From CAD/CAM to the shop floor: how to ensure surprise-free machining
The transition from design to the shop floor is undoubtedly one of the most critical moments in any machining process. What looks perfect on the CAD/CAM software screen can turn into a headache once it reaches the physical machine.The problem: the virtual doesn’t...
How to avoid costly CNC machining errors: the advantage of simulating before cutting
In CNC machining, every error comes at a high cost. A simple tool collision, an incorrect toolpath, or a poorly adjusted calculation can result not only in material waste, but also in machine damage, production delays, and unexpected costs that directly impact shop...
FAQ about the 3DEXPERIENCE platform
Discover everything 3DEXPERIENCE can do for your company. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform connects people, data, and processes in a single environment so your projects move faster, with fewer errors and greater innovation. Here you’ll find clear answers to the most common...
What is non-parametric optimization and why is it revolutionizing engineering?
Most engineers are used to optimizing their designs by modifying parameters: lengths, radii, thicknesses… But what if there were a way to optimize without relying on CAD? That is the basis of non-parametric optimization, and solutions like SIMULIA’s TOSCA are proving...
From generative design to additive manufacturing: the key role of topology optimization
3D printing has opened up new design possibilities. But… are you really taking full advantage of its potential? If you design the same way as always and only change the manufacturing method, you are missing out on a major advantage. One of the greatest allies of...
Why are your designs overdimensioned (and how can you avoid it without taking risks)?
In engineering, fear of failure often translates into excess material. And that costs money. Sound familiar? Designing with large safety margins is common, but also inefficient. This is where topological optimization comes into play. Topological optimization makes it...
Disconnected simulation: the bottleneck no one questions
When simulation becomes a bottleneck (and it could be avoided)Many CAE teams are overloaded. They receive requests from design, quality, or manufacturing… but lack time and context. And since everything depends on them, cycles get longer, tasks pile up, and agility is...
