  • ISIGHT Brochure
    ISIGHT AUTOMATE DESIGN EXPLORATION AND OPTIMIZATION ISIGHT INDUSTRY CHALLENGES In today’s computer-aided product development and manufacturing environment, designers and engineers are using a wide range of KEY BENEFITS software tools to design and simulate their products. Often, the • Reduce time and costs parameters and results from one software package are required as • Improve product reliability inputs to another package, and the manual process of entering the required data can reduce efficiency, slow product development, and • Gain competitive advantage introduce errors in modeling and simulation assumptions. SIMULIA’s Isight Solution Isight provides designers, engineers, and researchers with an open system for integrating design and simulation models—created with various CAD, CAE, and other software applications—to automate the execution of hundreds or thousands of simulations. Isight allows users to save time and improve their products by optimizing them against performance or cost metrics through statistical methods, such as Design of Experiments (DOE) or Design for Six Sigma. Isight combines cross-disciplinary models and applications together in a simulation process flow, automates their execution, explores the resulting design space, and identifies the optimal design Isight parameters based on required constraints. Isight’s ability to manipulate and map parametric data between process steps and automate multiple simulations greatly improves efficiency, reduces manual errors, and accelerates the evaluation of product design alternatives. Open Component Framework Isight provides a standard library of components— including Excel™, Word™, CATIA V5™, Dymola™, MATLAB®, COM, Text I/O applications, Java and Python Scripting, and databases—for integrating and running a model or simulation. These components form the building blocks of simulation process flows.

The results of the thesis are supposed to help the company with the development and launch of a new website in 2020. The investigative questions focus on the strengths and weaknesses of the current career website of the company, on website content, visuals and usability, on the reasons for visiting a career website, and the importance of career websites. The results were used to give recommendations to the case company. The theoretical part of the thesis covers employer branding and breaks it down into external employer brand and employee value proposition. The content, design and usability possibilities of career websites are also discussed. The thesis uses qualitative research to reveal the current state of the career website of the case company with the help of an actual state analysis and a competitor analysis. The results reveal the importance of a new career website for the company as the website performs worse than all others in comparison. A quantitative research method in the form of an online survey was also used.

In 1965, he graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace. He entered in Dassault Aviation in 1967 as an engineer in Theoretical Aerodynamics. He specialized in the theoretical engineer- ing and construction of aircrafts. There, he invented the CAD/CAM, from which CATIA was brought to light in 1977 – the first 3D application of its kind. For his inven- tion, Mr. Bernard was prized by the French Academie Nationale de l’Air et de l’Espace, by the Aviation Week & Space Technology journal, and also by the US National Air & Space museum. To push the development/enhancement of CATIA, Francis founded Dassault Syst¢mes (DS) (as a sister com- pany of Dassault Aviation) and became its first President. Under his leadership DS made a Partnership Agreement with IBM for the sales and the support of CATIA world- wide. In 1995, Mr. Bernard became the Executive Adviser to the new President of DS, and Member of the company’s Executive Committee. As part of his responsibilities, he is in charge of the marketing and the business development of DS in Developing Countries and in Emerging Markets, as well as for new technologies. 2005, Francis Bernard, amongst other duties, DS will pay a specific attention to shipbuilding.
