MAGNA STEYR needed to reduce the time required to capture, compile and analyze clash research data for accelerated product development. By grid-enabling CATIA, IBM’s collaborative, virtual product development application, MAGNA STEYR reduced clash testing from 72 hours to 4 hours, contributing significantly to enhanced design quality.

• MAGNA STEYR needed to speed time to market and improve the quality of their products through a more rapid and comprehensive engineering design analysis

• Platform LSF helped reduce the time required to capture, compile and analyze clash research data and can accelerate product development and time to market

• Integrating leading PLM and PDM software with Platform grid software produced substantial gains in quality and time to market for their core business

“Grid technology from IBM and Platform Computing reduced the time required for our clash testing from 72 hours to 4 hours and contributed significantly to enhancing our design quality.”
