Dassault Systemes Brings Advantages of 3D XML to Toyota Motorsport's Design Process; CATIA V5 Brings Competitive Benefits to Formula One Team.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 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. (DS) (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. : #13065, DSY DSY Drum Storage Yard .PA), 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 Toyota Motorsport GmbH will integrate the advantages of 3D XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. into its design process to boost its usage of the 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 design solution. "We are in no doubt that 3D XML will improve our fast-paced design process, allowing us to rapidly communicate design development to our mechanics on the track, and bringing far more accurate transfer of information," notes Magnus Lidstrom, VPM VPM Vibrations Per Minute (engineering) VPM Vampire Princess Miyu (anime) VPM Video Port Manager VPM Virtual Product Management VPM Ventroposteromedial VPM Voice Processing Module Parts Manager for Toyota Motorsport GmbH. "We predict it will greatly aid our long-term goal of being a race-winning team." "The proven advantages of 3D XML will revolutionize the way the Toyota F1 team modifies its racing cars," says Denis Denis, king of Portugal: see Diniz. Senpere, general manager, PLM North Europe, Dassault Systemes. "Being able to share information in 3D will bring tremendous advantages over using traditional 2D data. Dassault Systemes' powerful industry leading CATIA V5 software makes this possible." In tests, Toyota Motorsport found that 3D XML helped improve its approval process on technical changes, and plans to implement it throughout design development. With engineers sending one 3D representation instead of multiple 2D images, all aspects of a part can be visualized quickly and easily by the mechanical team. This will not only save time, but with the many different players on the team being able to access the data simultaneously on laptops right at the track, makes it also a more reliable way of ensuring everyone has the required data at the same time. The evolution to CATIA V5 with 3D XML fits well with the Toyota Motorsport philosophy of breaking down barriers to create total integration across departments, known as its 'one-roof concept.' The company has already seen many benefits from gathering the production of the racing cars in one location - something only a handful of Formula 1 teams are able to do - and 3D XML will allow the teams to work in closer collaboration than ever before.
