Norfolk SouthernNorfolk Southern Modernizes Simulation with Autodesk
Norfolk Southern, an industrials organization in the United States, uses AutoCAD from Autodesk to support virtual testing for analysts and design leads.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Handoffs in virtual testing sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Risk and compliance | AutoCAD is the governed place analysts and design leads use for virtual testing |
| Capability | New joiners can see how virtual testing actually runs |
Story
Norfolk Southern is based in the United States and runs industrials operations at a scale where simulation cannot live in side channels. Analysts and design leads were reconciling competing copies of the same work, which slowed virtual testing and hid who owned the next step.
The company runs virtual testing on Autodesk, with AutoCAD as the product analysts and design leads actually open. Autodesk makes design and make software for architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing, including AutoCAD, Revit, and Fusion. For Norfolk Southern, that means analysts and design leads can open one workflow, see simulation, and let neighboring teams join without inventing a parallel stack.
Public materials confirm the companies and products. They do not always publish a single verified KPI for this pairing, so the outcome here is operational: clearer ownership, fewer stalled handoffs, and a shared record for simulation.
