Virtual Ergonomics: Taking Human Factors into Account for Improved Processes and Products
Human interaction with products or within designed processes plays a critical role in how well any particular product is accepted by the market or how efficiently any physical system operates. How a human will function in relation to a product or system is difficult to predict, yet ergonomic considerations traditionally have been addressed outside of the 3D world. Physical tests are performed long after the product or system can be changed easily or cost effectively. All too often, this results in sub-par designs or massive cost overruns to correct deficiencies overlooked early in the process. Organizations need a way to accurately and easily simulate the interface between humans and a product or system from the earliest stages of the design and engineering process. Download this white paper entitled “Virtual Ergonomics: Taking Human Factors into Account for Improved Processes and Products” to understand the importance of virtual ergonomics and its benefits, including improved product usability and more efficient design processes. You’ll also gain access to real-world examples in organizations such as Northrup Grumman, Volkswagon and San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. (May 5, 2010, Dassault Systèmes ) |

Technology Leadership White Paper: Business Value of 3D Virtual Planning and Training in the Energy Industry
Across the global energy industry, organizations are under intense pressure. Power demand continues to grow exponentially. Regulatory agencies are imposing more stringent health, safety and environmental requirements. New facilities need to be brought online quickly and an aging infrastructure must be upgraded and modernized with minimal service interruptions. Particularly, the oil and gas segment is required to operate around the clock under some of the harshest conditions on the planet. You need to find ways to control the staggering costs related to operational inefficiencies in planning, maintenance and workforce training costs. Download Dassault Systèmes' technology leadership white paper to discover how innovative 3D virtual planning and training solutions can maximize operational efficiency, reduce financial risk, and most importantly, keep your workforce safe.

Sustainable Application of Reciprocating Gas Engines Operating on Alternative Fuels
The concern for the anthropogenic release of methane (CH4) into the environment and methane’s potential for global warming—21 times higher than that of carbon dioxide—continues to draw international attention. As such, those engaged in industries such as coal mining, landfills, agriculture and wastewater treatment are looking for ways to safely and economically mitigate the release of methane-based gases. |
