The linkage between environment and development was globally recognized in 1980, when the International Union 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. :DSY DSY Drum Storage Yard .PA), a world leading developer of 3D and 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 (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, today revealed plans for its presence at Aichi Expo 2005, the worldwide exposition taking place in Japan, from March 25 through Sept. 25. In keeping with the sustainable development theme of the French Pavilion at the expo, Dassault Systemes' exhibit will highlight the power of the company's 3D software solutions for creating innovative products with a global approach geared to saving resources and preserving the environment. The exhibit will include a remarkable "organic" structure designed using the company's 3D simulation software. It will trace the strange object's creation to demonstrate how Dassault Systemes' solutions contribute to sustainable development while enabling innovation. "We are honored and excited to represent France at the World Expo 2005," said Bernard Charles, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Dassault Systemes. "Working with the most prestigious Japanese companies in their sector such as Toyota, Sony, Honda, and many others of all size, we have learnt together the true value and potential of digital Product Lifecycle Management: making any manufactured good right the first time, using lean and efficient manufacturing processes, and consuming minimal resources. Our solutions serve as a catalyst for sustainable development, efficiency, and cost savings in a wide array of industries. Our long term commitment to our clients is to provide innovative solutions that enable them to save precious natural resources and create clean, safe, and environmentally friendly products. This gives true meaning to our PLM vision."

It is based on a truly novel design that will capture the visitor's imagination. A subtle blend of industry, art, and nature, the object was designed, simulated and produced using DS solutions, 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, for digital product definition, and DELMIA DELMIA Digital Enterprise Lean Manufacturing Interactive Application , for process engineering, in keeping with the spirit of sustainable development. As soon as they step inside, visitors will be immersed in a dazzling multimedia show. With three giant screens showing videos and five LCD screens demonstrating 3D solutions, visitors will instantly embark on a voyage of discovery to learn how this visually stunning structure came into being. They will see how even the most extravagant, ground-breaking ideas can take shape-and be fully tested-using Dassault Systemes' 3D digital simulation and design software. Visitors will also learn how DS 3D design and simulation software can be used to create any household object in complete harmony with the environment. Optis, a DS partner that develops and markets software for the simulation of optics, light, and product visualization, provided its SPEOS software solution, based on CATIA V5, to help develop a virtual mockup mock·up also mock-up n. 1.

Optis also provided one of the four simulations presented within the object. Thanks to CATIA V5 and SPEOS, Optis rendered a hyper-realistic 3D video of the final lighting of the booth. Viewing this film, visitors have the impression of seeing the object with an incredible sense of realism.
