DaimlerChrysler Gains Efficiency and Productivity Using IBM Product Lifecycle Management solutions.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers NEW YORK New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of & PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 26, 2002 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 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): DaimlerChrysler benefits from Dassault Systemes' 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 technology through Knowledge Engineering initiatives applied to occupant and vehicle packaging IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) and Dassault Systemes today announce that DaimlerChrysler has started deployment of IBM 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 solutions, notably 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 and CAA Caa See CCC. applications developed by Dassault Systemes for vehicle interior design and vehicle packaging. DaimlerChrysler has already reported efficiency and productivity gains for product conceptual design and packaging studies through its Knowledge Engineering initiatives and software technologies offered by IBM and Dassault Systemes' Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions. "We are very pleased that DaimlerChrysler has started the deployment of our CATIA V5 and ENOVIA V5 solutions," said Bruno Latchague, executive vice president of Research and Development, Dassault Systemes. "Our 3D PLM solutions will help DaimlerChrysler make a quantum leap quantum leap n. An abrupt change or step, especially in method, information, or knowledge: "War was going to take a quantum leap; it would never be the same" Garry Wills. in innovative product design while reducing cycle times, streamlining manufacturing and cutting production costs. This will unleash creativity and leverage the knowledge and innovation of designers and engineers." Using CATIA V5 Knowledgeware and Product Structure capability associated with ENOVIA V5 for Data Management, DaimlerChrysler's Technical Computer Center (TCC TCC The Car Connection (web site) TCC Tidewater Community College TCC Tallahassee Community College TCC Temporary Continuation of Coverage TCC Tucson Convention Center (Tucson, AZ, USA) ) is developing knowledge-driven applications for Interior, Chassis, Powertrain and Body-In-White domains, and a set of new tools for quick conceptual design and packaging studies. TCC supports all Chrysler Group engineering activities using advanced computing technologies. Since 1996, TCC has led the Chrysler Group's major partnership with Dassault Systemes. The companies have been instrumental in DaimlerChrysler's corporate Research and Technology's strategic Knowledge Engineering initiatives. "The Knowledge Engineering approach gives us the opportunity to integrate highly efficient design, engineering and manufacturing technologies into the product creation process and the management of the product life cycle," explained Hugh Cumming, Department Manager of Knowledge Engineering, Modeling and Management of TCC, "With CATIA V5 knowledge infrastructure and parametric design functionality, KDCIS allows engineers to conduct quick design modification and validation, which leads to significant time and cost savings." "We will continue to use CATIA V5 and ENOVIA V5 functionality to develop new tools for vehicle design and engineering work," added Dr. Yun Lu, Project Lead of DaimlerChrysler's Knowledge Driven Concept Interior Systems (KDCIS) program. The first PLM production use system at the Chrysler Group, KDCIS is a knowledge-driven design framework which integrates interior concept design, occupant safety analysis, vehicle packaging and ergonomic studies, as well as design and engineering rules and guidelines into early design and engineering stages. Vehicle packages, including design concept and packaging studies, are automatically updated with design changes, such as the changes in occupant location or floor plan definition. KDCIS is the most advanced tool available to designers and engineers conducting feasibility studies of multiple design proposals and aids in choosing the most appropriate proposal much more rapidly than ever before. Ken Socks, Manager of Advance Body/Exterior/Interior Systems and Core Technology and a user of KDCIS, commented, "In just a few minutes, we can now create complex packaging studies which used to take weeks. The time saved can be re-directed to investigating additional design alternatives and innovation."
