How Companies Use Design & Engineering Simulation Bundles
Fostering Creativity and Optimizing Workflows
METSÄ BOARD
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform offered Metsä Board innovative 3D simulation capabilities from a central platform. Advanced packaging designs could be simulated easily and validated in the click of a button. Designs could be shared securely in the cloud, and then accessed from any device, allowing ad-hoc collaboration to occur, even when teams are geographically dispersed.
We can simulate various use cases and conditions in as little as a day, instead of the weeks it would have taken using physical prototyping and testing.
