Is the statement that Boeing uses ISDX for wing design factual? I sounded like, or could be interpreted that it's an established company wide practice that all wing design be done using ISDX? It's pretty widely known that Boeing uses Catia, and since Catia can create curves from laws and equations, and is well known for surface creation, I'm very surprised by that statement. Perhaps it's actually an outside resource of theirs that does some of their wing design for them, or a couple of engineers that know Creo better than Catia? It's entirely possible that a company might establish a process that would involve specific functionality that a specific CAD program or module has. but from what little I know about Boeing and their use of Catia, it would be surprising to me that they established the use of ISDX for that purpose. It seems that someone would have jumped in and pushed the use of Catia, unless perhaps it's just a couple of engineers that are independently using the CAD package they prefer to use.
