With Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, and Solid Edge, a digital thread was woven throughout the complete VisionVenture prototype camper vehicle by Hymer engineers. As with all of their designs, they relied on a complete and integrated portfolio of software, hardware, and services, to build a thorough digital twin of the car. In all of their locations across Europe, Hymer experts use Solid Edge® software for computer-aided design (CAD). They act as a VisionVenture models made with NXTM software by an external industrial designer were transferred. According to Stefan Ziegler, director of industrialization research and development (R&D) at Hymer, “Solid Edge has a helpful user interface, so it is simple to learn; new coworkers only require minimum training.”
