"Part of our strategic plan is to design cars with world-class ergonomics complying with Society of Automotive Engineers and other applicable standards, as well as providing maintenance-friendly cars for the world market," says Kamarulzaman Darus, general manager of research and development and new platforms at Proton. The company purchased Safework-Pro, Envision/Assembly and Envision/Ergo software from Delmia Corp. (Troy, MI) to use in new car development.
Prior to selecting Delmia, the company had been using conventional physical prototypes to validate these factors. However, these were costly and time-consuming.
