Dassault Systemes
S.A. is furnishing under cover of Form 6-K a press release dated May 29, 2008,
announcing the market introduction of V6, a next generation PLM 2.0 platform and
solution set.
Dassault
Systèmes Introduces V6 to the Market
Sixth
Generation Solution Brings PLM 2.0 to Life
Suresnes, France, May 29, 2008 –
Dassault Systèmes (DS) (Nasdaq: DASTY; Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), a
world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today
announced the market introduction of V6, a next generation PLM 2.0 platform and
solution set. Unveiled in January, this sixth generation version was
conceived in tight collaboration with industry leaders and leverages the success
of DS brands and V5 PLM. V6 harnesses the power of Web 2.0, Web 3D
and Dassault Systèmes’ rich technology portfolio.
“PLM 2.0 adopts the
concepts of online communities and creation, constituting a new paradigm for
product innovation. V6 harnesses collaborative intelligence from
diverse online communities to maximize intellectual assets, capturing and
leveraging IP from all business and consumer users,” said Bernard Charlès,
president and CEO, Dassault Systèmes. “With PLM 2.0 solutions like
V6, virtual products and systems behave as they would in the physical world,
allowing all actors to have immersive, lifelike experiences in 3D.”
PLM 2.0 is a major
redefinition of the PLM markets targeting all users creating, consuming and
remixing IP. The first release of Dassault Systèmes’ Version 6,
V6R2009, covers business processes designed to serve all of Dassault Systèmes’
11 target industries. Customers can select from over 150
production-ready products addressing the following domains:
Lifelike Experience – 3DVIA V6
enables users to create lifelike experiences for consumers, collaborators and
creators to imagine and play.
|
·
|
Imagine – 3DVIA is the first
solution ever to put consumers at the core of the product development
process. Through 3D-powered lifelike experiences, consumers can
try out products and suggest modifications at any stage of the creation
process.
|
|
·
|
Play – 3DVIA helps
companies market, promote,
sell or maintain their products online with 3D-powered experiences (e.g.
advertising, shopping, operation, maintenance,
etc.).
|
Collaborative Innovation –
ENOVIA V6 provides an open, online collaborative environment, on a single IP
management platform, for all product lifecycle activities.
|
·
|
Governance allows
companies to manage and monitor entire product lifecycles in an adhoc
manner to support global enterprise ecosystems, while remaining on-time
and on-budget.
|
|
·
|
Global Sourcing brings
together engineering and purchasing communities to efficiently set up
suppliers’ networks, manage sourcing negotiations and monitor supplier
performance.
|
|
·
|
IP Lifecycle Management
for the management of all product-related information, such as
requirements, recipes, bills of material (BOMs),
etc.
|
|
·
|
Unified 3D Live
Collaboration for PLM business intelligence allows communities to
collaborate and access all product-related IP in real time. The
ENOVIA V6 IP platform provides for the indexing, searching and federating
of IP from multiple data sources, such as office documents, ERP
or PDM solutions.
|
Virtual Design – CATIA V6
introduces the next generation of collaborative virtual design capabilities
across the enterprise.
|
·
|
System Engineering as a
collective, integrated multi-disciplinary model for product development.
CATIA V6 expands the power of modeling from physical design to a unique
RFLP approach, aggregating Requirements, Functional, Logical, and Physical
product definitions.
|
|
·
|
Meta-CAD Modeling
delivers the first truly collaborative, liberated design
environment. CATIA V6 Modeling delivers breakthrough user
experiences and functions to shape and reshape 3D from any modeling source
with unsurpassed speed, quality, realism and
ease-of-use.
|
|
·
|
Knowledge-Based Design
to get design right the first time by utilizing all company IP
(e.g. knowledge, business processes, regulatory requirements,
etc.).
|
Realistic Simulation – SIMULIA
V6 provides industry communities, from designers to simulation specialists, with
a unique collaborative environment to perform lifelike simulation and virtual
product behavior testing.
|
·
|
Multiphysics Digital Lab
delivers a unique virtual hub that supports industry’s extreme diversity
of multiphysics simulation requirements and, therefore, dramatically
reduces the need for physical
testing.
|
|
·
|
Compliancy ensures an
unmatched level of trust in digital simulation results and assets, thanks
to a portfolio of leading-edge
technologies.
|
|
·
|

execute and optimize virtual production systems.
|
·
|
Manufacturing Planning
supplies the entire supply chain with comprehensive 3D process and
resource planning solutions to create and optimize build-to-order and lean
production manufacturing
systems.
|
|
·
|
Plant & Resource
Engineering provides the tools to define and optimize manufacturing
assets concurrently with manufacturing planning, leveraging DELMIA’s
unique Product Process Resource (PPR)
model.
|
|
·
|
Program & Control
Engineering to virtually program, validate and simulate
manufacturing systems for the virtual commissioning of production
facilities.
