The University of Pisa is to deploy more than Eur 2.5 million worth of CoCreate's design, data management and collaboration software.
Pisa is one of Italy's oldest and most prestigious universities, with scientific giants such as Galileo Galilei and Enrico Fermi among its alumni.
The university will use CoCreate's software to help educate engineering students in design and project management.
"We tested various 3D products", said Professor Piccinini, University of Pisa.
"But CoCreate's unique dynamic modelling technology will help our students work productively in days; other CAD systems took weeks to learn".
Dynamic modelling is a technology that lets users work with a design and make changes easily even if you have no knowledge of how the model was originally created.
"Dynamic modelling allows students to concentrate on engineering, rather than dealing with software-specific elements such as history trees or geometry constraints", said Piccinini.
University of Pisa Professor Barone added: "OneSpace Designer is the only real alternative to history-based CAD applications".
Students at University of Pisa will use CoCreate's 2D and 3D CAD solutions, as well as Model Manager, a data management software that helps manage design data.
"It's very important for students to understand the entire solution", said Professor Culla, University of Pisa.
"The product data management software will help enormously as students learn not just to create designs but also to manage projects".
The university will also use OneSpace.net, CoCreate's project team collaboration software.
"Being able to work on a distributed project team is a requisite for engineers entering the workforce today", stated Professor Barone.
"Our graduates will have a tremendous advantage by knowing how to use collaboration software to overcome obstacles teams face when working across locations and time zones".
The university maintains a long-standing relationship with CoCreate partner BT Informatica.
The Lucca-based company will install the software and provide training to the university.
"We're thrilled to be working with the University of Pisa", said Guido Mandl, Channel Business Manager, CoCreate.
"We have long felt that the engineering landscape is changing; many of today's engineers spend less than 50% of their time working on a CAD system.
Data management, outsourcing, and working with teams in other geographies have created an environment where flexibility and collaboration are the rule.
We're happy to see Pisa's next generation of engineers learning with tools that provide just this sort of foundation".
