Testimonials

"Comet/StructuralDynamics allows us to work with a single model from the initial design clear through the end of analysis. It helps us keep track of design information and data files, which prevents errors and saves time. Our design process uses three models one for Pro/ENGINEER, one for ANSYS, and one for ADAMS. When we go from one system to another, we have to recreate geometry, which is not only time-consuming, but also introduces the potential for errors. As a beta user of Comet we use Pro/ENGINEER as the starting point. We can then generate the ADAMS model through Comet, and it also creates the flex bodies for analysis in ANSYS, all with associativity to the Pro/ENGINEER model."

"A concurrent engineering process for the design and analysis of electrooptical sensors for space-borne remote sensing applications. Our process should enable the early and iterative evaluation of complex interdisciplinary interactions between thermal, structural, and optical aspects of sensor performance so that these issues might be uncovered earlier in instrument development and their cost and schedule impacts might be mitigated."

Aerospace Corporation - Senior Project Engineer

"Comet was an ideal partner for this project. While this initiative was short-term in nature, it provided lasting results with long-term impact for our organization and made us believers in the ongoing value of Comet software and the benefits it provides."

GDLS - Project Manager


	GDLS A team at General Dynamics Land Systems brought simulation earlier into their product design process by using Comet/StructuralDynamics. The new process allows Pro/ENGINEER and VCAT to work seamlessly within Comet's performance engineering workspace. The Results – GDLS is compressing a 3 to 10 week model development process to just 1 to 2 weeks with Comet -- reducing up to 80% of the cycle! They have also reduced the time to develop a detailed ADAMS model from 20 to 30 hours of an engineer's time to 3 or 4 hours working in Comet. Download Case Study The Aerospace Corporation A team at The Aerospace Corporation used Comet/Optronics to access CAD and CAE information across multiple engineering disciplines and tools without the need for each simulation discipline to have direct knowledge of how to run all the underlying existing CAD and CAE packages. The team consists of optical, mechanical, structural and thermal engineers who are responsible for the evaluation of thermally-induced structural deformations on the optical performance of a flight sensor. They have succeeded in creating a concurrent engineering process by using Comet's workspace and abstract modeling technology. Download Recent White Paper Crane Manufacturer A large crane manufacturer in China is using Comet/StructuralDynamics to automate their complex and time sensitive quoting process & product development time. By utilizing Comet's Abstract Engineering Model™ (AEM) and Simulation Templates, knowledge regarding part/product families are captured and easily reused by non experts to ensure accurate quoting and RFPs - which turns into more sales. Dana Corporation Dana Corporation used Comet/StructuralDynamics to integrate a process containing FEA, CAD and multi-dynamics. The team wanted to continue using their existing CAD/CAE tools - Pro/ENGINEER, ANSYS and ADAMS. By working with these tools within the Comet Workspace, the team automated time consuming model recreation for downstream analysis. With Comet, the team was able to remove redundant steps and manual entry errors.


	"Comet's Abstract Modeling is a technology breakthrough that has tremendous potential. Analysts will be able to execute multi-discipline studies using multiple simulation tools without reentering data, and to synchronize design changes with simulation through an automated process. Simulation templates will be made available for non-experts, resulting in a wider use of simulation in product development, leading to better quality with less physical tests." Michel Vrinat Research Director Collaborative Product Development Associates, LLC.
