The Challenge
Patria could not easily update composite aerostructure designs, which often had to wait until all other models were finished, extending the design cycle.
Dassault Systemes Response
CATIA V5 and its Composite Design 3 module allow Patria to quickly and automatically update the composite model as other models change.
Although located near the edge of the Arctic Circle, Patria Aerostructures has put itself at the forefront of composite design for aircraft parts. The small Finnish company, part of the much larger Patria Group, even won a coveted role in the Airbus A380, the largest passenger airliner ever constructed.
