The Daimler Benz AG Research and Development Department in Munich uses SYSPLY, for stiffness behavior prediction on various parts and structures under critical conditions. Marinus Schouten, a Development engineer at Daimler Benz AG adds: "with the help of SYSPLY, the final design of a truck cabin met the crash criteria, while achieving a 40% weight saving".

BMW
"BMW has used SYSPLY to demonstrate the lightweight potential and the mechanical performance of highly loaded vehicle parts such as safety seat based on newly developed thermoplastic composite materials. The easy-to-use characteristics of SYSPLY and the quality of the results obtained, led us to acquire this package for our internal use".

OLIVARI COMPOSITES ENGINEERING
"SYSPLY helps me investigate the feasibility of major new ideas in racing sailing yachts and powerboat architecture. The solution enables detailed evaluation of a high loaded structure, such a s the one of a powerboat running at more than 250 km/h: while meeting safety criteria, optimization of the overall stiffness of the boat structure ended in weight reduction"

TORAY
TORAY is the world's largest manufacturer of polyacrynonitrile-based carbon fiber. Torayca*, TORAY carbon fibers division, has outstanding properties of light weight, strength and rigidity. Thanks to these characteristics, Torayca finds uses in a wide variety of industry sectors; in aeronautical applications such as tailplane and floor beams to the state-of-the-art Boeing 777; in sporting applications such as golf club shafts, fishing rods and tennis racket frames; and general applications such as compressed natural gas fuel tanks for automobiles and wind turbine blades. TORAY is also engaged in the production of molding components using Torayca and otherstate-of-the-art materials. Using SYSPLY, the correlation of laminated model is simpler than with other software. SYSPLY has consequently enabled us to design composite material products".
