How SKF Runs Virtual Testing on CATIA
SKF, an industrials organization in Sweden, uses CATIA from Dassault Systemes to support virtual testing for analysts and design leads.
SKF folded CATIA into virtual testing so analysts and design leads share one view of simulation.
“Analysts and design leads asked for a shared way to run virtual testing without freezing local judgment.”
“Dassault Systemes builds 3DEXPERIENCE applications for product design, simulation, and manufacturing operations across industrial companies.”

Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Handoffs in virtual testing sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Risk and compliance | CATIA is the governed place analysts and design leads use for virtual testing |
| Capability | New joiners can see how virtual testing actually runs |
Story
Industrials work at SKF spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in Sweden. Simulation was splitting across regional habits. Analysts and design leads asked for a shared way to run virtual testing without freezing local judgment.
Dassault Systemes (CATIA) is what they standardized on. Dassault Systemes builds 3DEXPERIENCE applications for product design, simulation, and manufacturing operations across industrial companies. SKF uses it as the system of record for simulation, with analysts and design leads as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
