The car buying experience is evolving rapidly alongside changing demographics and business landscape. Success belongs to the automaker that can deliver a new customer customized experience that captures the imagination and wins the loyalty of diverse customers. Amidst the challenges, however, lies the opportunity to set your brand apart. What if there was a way to transform the current car buying journey and deliver a new customer experience that exceeds expectations? Evolving Buyer's Journey Buying a vehicle is an emotional experience, and therein lies opportunities for an improved buying experience and brand engagement. Studies show that customer behavior is becoming more sophisticated and that there’s a growing segment of buyers who do a tremendous amount of research before stepping into a dealership. Many are turning to online sources; these customers spend up to 60% of their time on the internet. They are hungry for information that goes beyond specs s...

HOW A MOVIE-STAR’S REQUEST FOR FABULOUS HEELS AT FASHION WEEK CAME TO A FAIRYTALE ENDING THE CHALLENGE Once upon a time, a top designer received an audacious request from a major movie star famed for her role as a modern-day Cinderella: make me a pair of unforgettable high heels to wear at the next fashion week so I can be the belle of the ball. You have two weeks! This was the daunting challenge presented to designer Gray Holland, but it was a challenge he couldn’t refuse. His problem was that he had no real contacts with traditional manufacturing or shoe designers. And his concern was that “If the shoe breaks, the star loses face, and I might get sued”. Gray knew what he wanted to create: fabulously innovative shoes whose aesthetics and structure intertwined perfectly and allow the long-legged, 60kg (about 130 pounds) celebrity to grace the red carpet with consummate ease. “I imagined something so minimal, yet elevated. These magic heels would float her into the e...

Learn How CATIA’s Function Driven Generative Designer role increases productivity through an integrated set of flexible process-driven capabilities In today’s increasingly competitive market designers must push past conventional ways of working to think outside the box. Meeting customer demands is imperative which means innovating one concept at a time is no longer a sustainable method.  CATIA Function Driven Generative Designer (GDE) enables non-specialists to automatically generate optimized conceptual parts from a functional specification at the push of a button. By varying inputs, designers can generate multiple variations to compare and analyze.  GDE uses the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, where concepts can be comprehensively refined, validated and completed collaboratively and in-context by other disciplines for conventional or additive manufacturing.  Optimize product weight and stiffness with lightweight engineering Reduce time and cost by evaluating...

The emergence of new technologies is unapologetically evolving the status quo, triggering a radical change in the engineering landscape as we know it. These technologies typically emerge in the hands of a small number of specialists, using niche specialized software, off the main track, pushing at innovation boundaries. Design engineers constantly strive to minimize part weight, maximize stiffness, reduce cost and optimize material usage. Today it is often cost-prohibitive to explore optimized parts. It can be difficult to collaborate across disciplines due to different systems and tools, delays and errors in data translation. Optimization has traditionally required experts and has not been available to designers. In this week's blog, we explore how innovative approaches to democratizing this technology in the hands of generalist engineers will transform mindsets and processes, empowering designs without limits within the new (Generative) Design Revolution.  “We no ...

HYBRID MODELING WORKFLOW SOLUTION TO COMBINE FLEXIBILITY WITH PRECISION AND QUALITY Dassault Systemes CATIA provides a unified modeling environment, enabling Designers to mix several modeling mathematics together to improve the digital workflow and to enrich the Design quality & creativity. With 3D EXPERIENCE CATIA R2018x, the Unified Modeling environment is enriched with new capabilities in ‘CATIA Imagine & Shape’. It allows Associative Matching from a subdivision surface to any other CATIA curve or surface, to improve the design continuity and workflow. Watch the video tutorial: Let’s see some of the main features of this demonstration. The first surfaces were made with Sub-Division surfaces with CATIA ‘Imagine and Shape’ and a part of the wheel-arch is done with CATIA-ICEM. Using the new ‘Matching Constraint’ capability, the subdivision surface matches precisely the CATIA-ICEM surface with G2 continuity. Thanks to the associativity inside CATIA, a mod...
