[0] Dassault Systemes Welcomes Two New Partners Into the Software Community Program: EADS Matra Datavision and Metalsoft Inc.Business & Technology Editors PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 10, 2001 Dassault Systemes Dassault Systemes (Dassault Systèmes S.A.) (Pronounced - Dasoh) (NASDAQ: DASTY; Euronext: 13065) is a leading company specializing in 3D and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software. (Nasdaq: DASTY; Euronext Paris Euronext Paris is France's securities market, formerly known as the Paris Bourse, which merged with the Amsterdam and Brussels exchanges in September 2000 to form Euronext NV, which is the second largest exchange in Europe behind the London Stock Exchange. : #13065, DSY DSY Drum Storage Yard .PA) announced today the signing of two development agreements: EADS EADS European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company N.V. EADS Expeditionary Air Defense System (USMC) EADS Extended Air Defense Systems EADS Environmental Assessment Data System EADS Echelons Above Division Study Matra Datavision and Metalsoft Inc. have joined the "Software Community Program." Through these development partnerships, these two companies will create, market and sell applications based on the V5 Component Application Architecture (CAA Caa See CCC. V5), integrated and complementary to CATIA A family of 2D and 3D CAD programs from IBM. CATIA was one of the first CAD programs to provide 3D solid modeling. The program was developed by Dassault Systems, a French aerospace company. V5 solutions. EADS Matra Datavision is developing on CAA V5, EUCLID3 Connectors, a "bridge" between EUCLID3 and CATIA V5. The purpose of this development is to sustain Euclid 3 users in transferring and migrating all EUCLID3 data to CATIA V5 through a direct interface. This means productivity gains -- users save time when migrating their data; EUCLID3 Connectors will work for them efficiently and quickly, and ease of use -- the product will work through a database browser fully integrated into CATIA V5, allowing a simple transfer of the entire EUCLID3 data. Metalsoft Inc. will develop on CAA V5 FabriWin that consists of integrating FabriWin into CATIA V5 in order to cover the entire process from sheet metal design to manufacturing and analysis. FabriWin is a CAD/CAM CAD/CAM in full computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing. Integration of design and manufacturing into a system under direct control of digital computers. solution for sheet metal fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. , which generates CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) See numerical control. CNC - Collaborative Networked Communication programs for all your CNC punch, laser, plasma and combination machines with ONE CAD/CAM system. In the very first phase of its development, FabriWin will enable engineers to directly access the flat layout geometry and the bend line data from the sheet metal parts designed and loaded in CATIA V5 Sheet Metal Design module, without having to go through file translations. The OLE Automation See COM automation. interface means for users ease of use -- a push of a button will transfer the data from CATIA V5 to FabriWin. This interface using OLE Automation will facilitate future modifications and enhancements. The OLE Automation interface also means accuracy -- no intermediate file translation, no data loss. "Dassault Systemes is glad to welcome two new Software Partners into its V5 Software Community Program," says Jacques Leveille-Nizerolle Director, CATIA R&D, Dassault Systemes. "Metalsoft with FabriWin On CAAV5 and EADS Matra Datavision with EUCLID3 Connectors On CAAV5 bring new complementary applications to CATIA V5 users and de facto [Latin, In fact.] In fact, in deed, actually. This phrase is used to characterize an officer, a government, a past action, or a state of affairs that must be accepted for all practical purposes, but is illegal or illegitimate. ease, enhancing their daily business processes." The Software Community Program is dedicated to companies willing to develop, market and sell applications expanding Dassault Systemes solutions to cover the SME (1) (Small and Medium-sized Enterprise) See SMB. (2) (Subject Matter Expert) An individual who is well-versed in the policies and procedures of a particular department or division. and Digital Enterprise (DE) entire product life cycle. Software Partners benefit from Dassault Systemes' Next Generation V5 Component Application Architecture (CAA V5) as well technical and marketing support to offer products directly interfaced to CATIA V5. As a result, our mutual customers take advantage of a larger set of products to answer their industrial needs.

FabriWIN is a fully automated CAD/CAM product capable of generating NC code for all CNC lasers, plasma, cutting, punching, and combination machine tools. Through Object Linking and Embedding See OLE. (operating system) Object Linking and Embedding - (OLE) A distributed object system and protocol from Microsoft, also used on the Acorn Archimedes. OLE allows an editor to "farm out" part of a document to another editor and then reimport it. for Design & modeling (OLE for D&M), METALSOFT provides a powerful integration between 3D CAD Solutions, like CATIA, and FabriWIN. OLE technology allows the complete capture of flat part geometry and insures the integrity of the original CAD file remains intact. FabriWIN's scheduling feature allows parts to be nested according to customer, part number, material type, next operation and due date. Nesting is a fully automated process and includes sheet layout, tooling, sequencing and NC code generation in one simple step. Parts can be processed with rectangular nesting, true shape, and part-in-part capabilities for maximum material utilization. Material requirements are calculated and recorded, and the material inventory feature provides remnant tracking. FabriWIN runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems and has three product levels to satisfy the needs of any size sheet metal fabricator.
