Case Study: Ford, Bacon & Davis boosts stress engineering efficiency with Hexagon CAESAR II and PV Elite

Ford, Bacon & Davis Foster Training and Knowledge with CAESAR II® and PV Elite®

Ford, Bacon & Davis, an engineering and construction firm, faced challenges with training new engineers on complex stress analysis software and communicating technical results to non-technical clients. Their less intuitive legacy tools hampered productivity and risked project safety and quality. To address this, they partnered with vendor Hexagon to implement its CAESAR II and PV Elite software.

The solution from Hexagon provided intelligent, user-friendly tools that guide engineers through accurate calculations. CAESAR II’s key feature was its visual output, including color-coded stress representations and animated models, which simplified complex data for client presentations. This resulted in faster approvals, increased client satisfaction, and significant time savings in engineering and report creation for Ford, Bacon & Davis.
