The film crew are exhausted but happy. All episodes of the series are recorded and the actors have done a tremendous job in bringing to life this demonstration of a different kind around the challenges of innovation, collaboration and agility with 3DEXPERIENCE Works solutions.
This is the moment that Imane chooses to dive back into the scenario and put it back in mind before preparing the last meeting which will be a live on set with all the actors of the series and which will allow you to question them. She takes place in the director’s chair and opens the scenario, unwittingly revealing the content to us …
Go behind the scenes and discover the making-of of Heat the Cloud! Clap a first! Motor ! Action!

Episode 1 – Interior – Day – In the large meeting room at CampingEquip
The meeting has already started. Everyone is eager to learn more about the project. And really everyone, whether it is the managers of CampingEquip, the specialist in outdoor leisure equipment, or its partner Smart Me Up, a high-performance start-up in industrial design, led by Marion and Paula .. So the slides slide across the screen of the meeting room, and the silence is only disturbed by the calm voice of the innovation director. ” We have high hopes for this product launch on the market, and we are counting on your expertise and collaboration.», He says to the attention of the two young leaders.
CampingEquip does not have the internal engineering resources, it was on the marketplace of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform that she found this nugget. Of course, hiring a very young company is a gamble. The company knows how much a technological innovation can unfortunately lead to a public failure, if the design of the product does not please, if the design is not perfectly in line with the expectations of the engineers, not revealing all the performance obtained in the laboratory. during the first tests. The development challenge is therefore crucial for CampingEquip. The transition to the production phase will only be possible if the plans are completely precise. ” Thank you for the trust you place in us, and even if this 6-month period is a real challenge, know that we will be ready and that you will not be disappointed by Smart Me Up Paula concludes, not without a slight cloudiness in her voice. Because yes, for both of them, she knows, the challenge is great. They have no right to error in this type of project.
A few minutes later, Marc, in charge of innovation at CampingEquip, will confide in an aside that he is confident and happy to see the birth of this great collaboration. Certain that it will lead to a very good result, he explains that they have been using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and solutions from SOLIDWORKS since their inception. This is what allows them to guarantee sometimes very short design deadlines, and thus to win calls for tenders. For an industrial design office, these are essential resources.
Eepisode 2 – Interior day – in the corridors of the CampingEquip company
Paula and Marion return a few weeks later to present their plans, excited to reveal the fruits of intense days of work in front of their screens. Both struggled to examine this new air conditioner from all angles, to take into account all the technical parameters of the materials used such as weight, ease of assembly, final appearance. They are confident.
Everything is progressing well but the manufacturer is concerned about its image and wishes to have the guarantee of the robustness of its product. How will he ensure the quality of his product? He has no way of carrying out a simulation in his team and the Smart me Up design office is not competent in Simulation either.
Eepisode 3 – Interior at night – in Paula’s office at Smart Me Up
Late in the evening, Paula and Marion, are still dazed by this unexpected request. They will have to find a solution. What if they call on Eric? “You know this guy is a simulation specialist,” said Paula. “I discovered his profile on the marketplace and he seems available for this kind of assignment. I contacted him immediately. “
Eric responds immediately to Paula’s call. Yes, he will be able to help them, and modify the plans while checking in a simulation, the robustness of all the parts necessary for this air conditioner with a very attractive design. Will they succeed thanks to his mastery of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform? …
At this precise moment, Imane is called by her boss to give an update on the launch of the series. She closes the scenario book. We will not know more today …
Will the deadline be respected? Will the data exchange via the cloud have enabled Eric to simulate the resistance of each part and in certain very specific cases, to indicate potential improvements to the two designers of the project? Will this collaborative work give a result to match the ambitions of the CampingEquip client?
So many questions that will be answered in episode 3 and especially the live show bringing together all the stakeholders in this innovative project, on November 20. Of course, to follow Paula and Marion on their adventure, we invite you to meet on November 17th! In each episode will hide a bonus for you and all those who wish to develop industrial innovation with #SOLIDWORKS.
