Dassault Systèmes has announced that Notre Dame Preparatory School (Pontiac, Mich.) is using Dassault Systèmes’ 3D Experience platform, including CATIA application for virtual design authoring, DELMIA for digital manufacturing, SIMULIA for realistic simulation and ENOVIA for collaborative innovation.
Equipped with technologies implemented by today’s leading manufacturers, students are creating products - from initial design through 3D prototype - for a variety of industries, including automotive, consumer goods, energy, aerospace and defense. The 3D Experience platform and applications claim to serve as the backbone for Notre Dame Prep’s emerging engineering curriculum, which supports the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Education Coalition initiative focused on STEM education required in order for the U.S. to remain an economic leader in the global marketplace. Whereas other product development solutions are document-based, the 3D Experience platform offers a unique object-oriented approach that relies upon a single server for data storage. All users have access to the exact same real-time information via a simple Internet connection, creating a collaborative manufacturing environment where the school will be able to share designs with other schools around the world and co-create products via social innovation.
