Boeing Partners with CADSI Implement Simulation Driven Design.

CORALVILLE, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 15, 1997--CADSI (Computer Aided Design Software Inc.) and The Boeing Company announced today that Boeing has agreed to purchase multiple seats of DADS/Advanced, CATDADS, and DADS/Plant with EASY5 integration. The target users include all commercial airplane programs in the areas of structure, mechanical systems and flight controls. The agreement is extended to all Boeing facilities in North America.

The Boeing-CADSI Development Project (BCDP) objective is to improve upon Boeing's current mechanism design and analysis software, providing Boeing designers and analysts a comprehensive mechanism analysis tool to maintain and enhance airplane structural components, assemblies and mechanical systems. The BCDP includes enhancements to CADSI software in the areas of preprocessing, analysis, postprocessing and animation that will enable Boeing to meet its strategic objective. Boeing has adopted CADSI's Simulation Driven Design as a standard part of the preferred design process.

CADSI's existing strategic development partnership with Dassault Systemes, the developer of CATIA, which is Boeing's standard CAD system, was another important factor. As a CAA (CATIA Application Architecture) partner, CADSI uses advanced development tools to embed motion and structural simulation in CATIA. Additionally, CADSI partners with Boeing to integrate DADS/Plant with Boeing's EASY5 control software which provides the ability to simulate and animate controlled mechanical systems.

David Bird, vp of marketing at CADSI states, "We are very excited that Boeing has implemented our Simulation Driven Design strategy as part of their mainstream CATIA design/analysis system. The enhancements to CATDADS that will result from this partnership will provide Boeing with the world's finest simulation software for aircraft design and manufacturing."
