Lockheed Martin JSF Program Focuses on Maintainability with DELMIA Solutions“The timing, flexibility and affordability of simulations gave us a significant amount of influence over the air-system design. The designers are willing, and even eager, to address these concerns while their work is still in its preliminary stages… DELMIA's most important contribution is to make maintainability assessable in the beginning of a design effort, where the payoff is significantly better.”
