DELMIA Delivers the First 3D PLM Integrated Solution for Digital Manufacturing.Business Editors TROY, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 31, 2001 All DELMIA DELMIA Digital Enterprise Lean Manufacturing Interactive Application Applications are Now Built Around the Unique PPR PPR peste des petitis ruminants. Model, Providing Complete Coverage of the Manufacturing Processes and Seamless Integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. Within 3D Product Lifecycle Product lifecycle or product life cycle is the course of a product's sales and profits over time. The five stages of each product lifecycle are product development, introduction, growth, maturity and decline. Management. DELMIA Corp., a 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. company (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; 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. : No. 13065, DSY DSY Drum Storage Yard .PA) announced today the launch of the Version 5 Release 7 (V5R7) of DELMIA Digital Manufacturing Solutions. DELMIA V5R7 is the first release providing complete integration between all DELMIA software applications on top of the PPR - Product, Process and Resource model. This unique PPR model, shared across DS' 3d Product Lifecycle Management (3d 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 ) applications, ensures the integration between 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. , ENOVIA and DELMIA. This release dramatically improves the efficiency of the process planning and process verification activities within the global product development cycle. This makes collaborative engineering of products, processes and resources a reality across the extended enterprise, including the worldwide supply chains. DELMIA provides both decision support and authoring applications to support manufacturing processes, which have to be planned, detailed and simulated throughout the Manufacturing Engineering Manufacturing engineering Engineering activities involved in the creation and operation of the technical and economic processes that convert raw materials, energy, and purchased items into components for sale to other manufacturers or into end products for Cycle. DELMIA's Digital Manufacturing Solutions are now built around an open Product, Process and Resource model (PPR), which provides a federating hub, connecting the different repositories and applications of the extended manufacturing enterprise. Extending well beyond traditional product data management, PPR enables continuous, dynamic simulation Dynamic Simulation is similar to a physics engine, the technology used in many powerful computer graphics software programs, like 3ds Max, Maya, Lightwave, and many others to simulate physical characteristics. of product performance and manages the effects of change on the product, its processes and resources. It allows anyone involved, from product engineers to manufacturing process planners and production engineers, to have the full, current view of all links and dependencies between Products, Processes and Resources at any point in time. Integrity of the PPR data, optimization of the entire manufacturing processes and a seamless integration with the design world are the main benefits of the DELMIA solution. The PPR model and associated solutions provide the environment to foster manufacturing creativity and innovation, while dramatically reducing development cycles thus accelerating time-to-market. Leveraging the PPR model, DELMIA is now seamlessly integrated with ENOVIA. DELMIA users can access the configured Product data (product structure, 3d part definition...), and use it to define, simulate and optimize the associated Processes and Resources. Engineering changes can be exchanged easily between the design and the manufacturing disciplines. This establishes a closed loop in the workflow and contributes significantly to the acceleration of the overall development process. Utilizing the structuring capabilities of PPR through "DELMIA Process Engineer" the users can easily generate a Manufacturing BOM consistent with the product definition. The DELMIA solution for Automotive Final Assembly takes advantage of the PPR integration to provide, for the first time, a true end-to-end solution (jargon) end-to-end solution - (E2ES) A term that suggests that the supplier of an application program or system will provide all the hardware and/or software components and resouces to meet the customer's requirement and no other supplier need be involved. Compare: turn-key solution. . This solution combines the power of "DELMIA Process Engineer" for process planning with the power of "DELMIA V5" (V5 DPM (Documents Per Minute) The number of paper documents that can be processed in one minute. Assembly and V5 Human Modeling) for 3d process detailing, simulation and validation. Adopting the same approach, the DELMIA solution for Automotive Body-in-White is now end-to-end. This solution combines "DELMIA Process Engineer" for process planning, the newly introduced "DELMIA V5 DPM Body in White" for process detailing and sequencing of weld operations and DELMIA robotics solutions for simulation with off-line programming. It covers the specifics of the BiW processes: weld processes, weld allocation and weld gun definitions are created and enriched from the different applications and shared through the PPR Hub. The welding processes and resources are, in addition, defined in the context of the product to enable concurrent engineering and change management. To support the needs of Airframe Assembly in the Aerospace industry, the "DELMIA V5 DPM Assembly" solution has delivered a number of key enhancements such as the full use of tolerance information in the process planning and better use of the Pert and Gantt charts. For all the above industry processes "DELMIA Process Engineer" delivers new and enhanced capabilities for process version handling, scenarios planning, and costing. With the new costing capabilities, specific customer calculations can be implemented to assess investments, material costs or labor costs and to compare all of these against targets. Philippe Charles, chief executive officer, DELMIA Corp., said: " With V5R7, the capabilities of our Digital Manufacturing solutions and their seamless integration around the PPR Hub, bring our customers to the next step in transforming their manufacturing development process. By deploying V5R7, design and validation of the manufacturing processes is accomplished "in context" of the virtual product. This dramatically improves the development quality and reduces the time to market. The ongoing customer implementations of DELMIA solutions are progressing extremely well and clearly demonstrate the value of the integrated 3d PLM." About DELMIA Corp.
