Text: In evolving its products this way, Caterpillar is able to use modeling and simulation prior to initial manufacturing because it has existing products to provide a baseline of knowledge and a good benchmark for assessing the simulated performance.
Entailment: Caterpillar uses simulation before manufacturing while taking advantage of the knowledge baseline provided by its existing products.
Contradiction: Caterpillar doesn't have a knowledge baseline derived from its currently existing products.
