Case Study: European Spallation Source achieves integrated design and streamlined collaboration with Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform

European Spallation Source

The European Spallation Source (ESS), a major multi-disciplinary neutron research facility, required a solution to manage the highly complex, collaborative design and construction of its facility, which involved numerous international partners. To address this challenge of integrated design, data management, and collaboration, ESS adopted the 3DEXPERIENCE platform from Dassault Systèmes.

Dassault Systèmes' platform provided a unified 3D master model that integrated all design data from various partners, enabling early clash detection and streamlined collaboration. This solution allowed ESS to virtually simulate installations for safety, ensure all stakeholders worked from a single source of truth, and maintain configuration control. The results included safer construction processes, more efficient decision-making, and a solid foundation for the future traceability and maintenance of the state-of-the-art facility.
