Tell me if you have heard this one before: “Which is better, CATIA or SolidWorks?” This question seems to come up often, at least often enough, that I decided to explore further. In the 3D CAD software space, Dassault Systèmes offers two of the top programs in CATIA and SOLIDWORKS. Both are excellent options, and
MODSIM is a term that many of you may have heard, but what exactly is it? And why is it becoming so important at the world’s biggest engineering organizations? https://youtube.com/watch?v=9nqi-nzIv20%3Fautoplay%3D0%26mute%3D0%26controls%3D1%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.fidelisfea.com%26playsinline%3D1%26showinfo%3D0%26rel%3D0%26iv_load_policy%3D3%26modestbranding%3D1%26enablejsapi%3D1%26widgetid%3D1 In this post, we’ll take a look at the paradigm shift that forward-thinking organizations are making towards science-based modeling and simulation. We’ll review the history
Although it has been a few years since I last played, there was a time when I was, unashamedly, a Dark Souls nerd. For those unfamiliar Dark Souls, it is an open-world fantasy role playing video game series renowned for its reputation as one of the most challenging and punishing franchises ever created…which is putting

Tier 1, 2, and 3 suppliers are an integral part of the automotive manufacturing ecosystem, as evidenced by the fact that upwards of 75% of a vehicle’s parts come from these suppliers in a market worth nearly 3 trillion US dollars. In recent years, auto suppliers have experienced significant challenges. The automotive industry was already
Abaqus is one of the leading finite element analysis (FEA) solutions in the industry. Many of us will have used it either on a local workstation or with the aid of high-performance computing (HPC) on a local network. But what if you don’t have time or budget to research and setup the perfect configuration for
When beginning the process of purchasing top-of-the-line FEA software, potential buyers typically have these main questions: Can the software accurately and efficiently deliver analysis that will help define solutions for our engineering challenges? How much does it cost (and what is included)? and How do I purchase Abaqus? To help answer these questions, let’s review
The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform can be accessed via a user login role (PCS) for a nominal fee (less than $1,000). From that login, the user can then gain access hundreds of various business roles, depending on their position within the organization. Rather than acquiring the typical disparate software packages for PLM, CAD, Simulation etc., The 3DEXPERIENCE
