SUCCESS STORIES > AUTOMOTIVE & TRANSPORTATION WABTEC PASSENGER TRANSIT“The integration of SolidWorks Simulation software is a big advantage for us. We have realized improvements in quality, and can attribute the extended wear we have designed into our systems to the greater number of stress analyses that we perform.”
- Gregory V. Scott, Manager of Drafting/Document ControlThe ChallengeWABTEC Passenger Transit designs and manufactures a vast array of pneumatic, electronic, and mechanical devices – such as braking systems, controllers, current collectors, and couplers – for the worldwide transit industry. The company wanted to move to 3D design to improve productivity, raise quality, and reduce costs, but its initial transition from MICROCADAM CAD design tools to the Pro/ENGINEER 3D CAD system led to a reassessment of available 3D solutions. The SolutionThe train systems manufacturer chose SolidWorks software because of its ease of use; large assembly and design configurations capabilities; and integrated analysis, product data management, and product documentation applications. By standardizing on SolidWorks, Wabtec compressed its development cycles, improved product quality, streamlined the creation of product documentation, and accelerated its assembly operations.
