Case Study: quietrevolution doubles productivity and speeds turbine design with Dassault Systèmes CATIA

Developing innovative, elegant wind energy turbines with CATIA

quietrevolution, a UK-based innovator in vertical-axis wind turbines, faced the challenge of designing, manufacturing and improving highly efficient, low-noise turbines suited to variable urban wind conditions while overcoming concerns about aesthetics and manufacturability. To meet these demands they selected Dassault Systemes’ CATIA as their unified 3D design and engineering platform.

Using Dassault Systemes CATIA, quietrevolution automated and accelerated design-to-manufacture workflows with rules-based, knowledge-driven 3D models and integrated testing and manufacturability analysis. The solution reduced development cycle time, improved supply-chain communication and verification, and delivered measurable gains—doubling productivity in certain domains, delivering productivity benefits of up to 30% (and more than 50% in some automated areas)—while enabling stronger, higher-energy-output turbine designs.
