Trafo Proiect, a Romanian design firm specializing in large power transformers up to 400 kV and 440 MVA, implemented CATIA PLM Express to manage complete design cycles from concept to production drawings. The solution enables automatic change propagation across assemblies and early interference detection in the virtual model, replacing manual 2D cross-checks. These capabilities improved design precision, shortened lead times, and increased customer confidence, directly supporting new business acquisition in a competitive market.

Key takeaways

Automatic change propagation eliminates manual cross-checks across sub-assemblies

3D interference checking performed before release to manufacturing reduces rework

Manufacturing constraints incorporated during design phase improve producibility

CATIA adoption signals design reliability to transformer manufacturers and repair shops

Future integration with ENOVIA SmarTeam planned for validation workflows and field feedback
