Rhône-Poulenc in Décines processes 70% of studies on a 70 mm diameter × 6.0 m high glass plant equipped with a structured lining [7] .

Microcomputing has revolutionized the way we work with pilots in two respects. Firstly, it allows far better control and servo-control of the column than was previously possible. A model can even anticipate a disturbance before it occurs. Modern software makes it easy to change the action variable. So it's a good idea to include sensors right from the start, so that information can be transmitted to a computer. But above all, it's the simulation aspect that brings the greatest benefits. The methodology of defining and configuring the driver with simulation saves a prodigious amount of time. Sequence:
