Chengdu Aircraft and Dassault Systemes Take to the Skies with Composites.Composites to Beat 21(st) Century Aviation Challenges PARIS Paris, in Greek mythology Paris or Alexander, in Greek mythology, son of Priam and Hecuba and brother of Hector. Because it was prophesied that he would cause the destruction of Troy, Paris was abandoned on Mt. -- Dassault Systemes (DS) (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :DASTY) (Paris:DSY DSY Drum Storage Yard ), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM (Product Life cycle Management) A comprehensive information system that coordinates all aspects of a product from initial concept to its eventual retirement. Sometimes called the "digital backbone" of a product, it includes the requirements phase, analysis and design ) solutions, today announced that Chengdu Aircraft Industrial Group, a major Chinese supplier for the global aviation industry, is using DS's 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. Composites Design to develop aircraft parts. Composites are ultra lightweight and can be formed into any shape, allowing for inventive industrial design and giving Chengdu the means to beat 21st century aviation challenges and a strong competitive edge. For today's airline companies, increasing oil prices, driven by international political tensions, make for steeper operational costs and require firms to charge more. Add to that the growing pressure to keep things "green," like reducing noise pollution and harmful gas emissions. Developing a competitive edge has never been so crucial, and innovation- thanks to composites- is essential to surmounting difficulties. Chengdu Aircraft is expanding its activities to cover the entire composites design process and provide customers with breakthrough design and manufacturing solutions. "CATIA Composites Design has enabled us to shorten our manufacturing design cycle time by 50%, which is key for us to meet the tight deadlines of our OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and partners and focus more resources on innovation," says Youyi Wen, diretor of composites department, Chengdu Aircraft Industrial Group. "CATIA Composites Design is fundamental to our success and makes working with composites, which requires new software, new machines- a whole new way of working, much easier." "DS is delighted to be working with Chengdu on this revolutionary technology. CATIA Composites Design provides a collaborative environment that covers the entire composites process. Engineers can focus on creating optimal designs to fully exploit composites' advantages," says Denis Denis, king of Portugal: see Diniz. Georgeon, general manager PLM Channel China & South Asia, Dassault Systemes. An important strength of CATIA Composites Design stems from its synchronization mechanisms, which allow engineers- no matter their location- to work simultaneously on the same 3D design. And thanks to DS's strategic software and industrial partnerships, CATIA Composites Design seamlessly communicates to composite-specific production equipment, enabling Chengdu to industrialize in·dus·tri·al·ize v. in·dus·tri·al·ized, in·dus·tri·al·iz·ing, in·dus·tri·al·iz·es v.tr. 1. To develop industry in (a country or society, for example). 2. . Capitalizing on its composites know-how, Chengdu is launching a Composites Manufacturing Research Center in partnership with Dassault Systemes that will be dedicated to investigating alternative manufacturing technologies.
