Case Study: Universidad de La Plata achieves a world‑class PLM training center and mission‑ready satellite design with Dassault Systèmes (ENOVIA V6)

Students break new ground with ENOVIA V6

Universidad de La Plata sought to ensure its engineering and aeronautics graduates met professional software requirements and could work on real-world projects. To address this, Dassault Systemes supplied a suite of PLM tools — including ENOVIA V6, CATIA, DYMOLA and Abaqus (SIMULIA) — to transform the university’s virtual wing into a fully equipped PLM Center and hands-on laboratory for students.

Dassault Systemes’ solution enabled live collaboration, program management and integrated design/analysis workflows: students used ENOVIA V6 for version control and approvals, CATIA for structural design, and SIMULIA/Abaqus for simulation. The result was successful participation in the SAC‑D/Aquarius satellite projects (designing key instruments), reduced physical prototypes and manufacturing costs, protected intellectual property and standardized processes — all while preparing students for industry.
