Dassault Systemes (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) today announced the delivery of their latest 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, 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 Version 5 Release 9 (V5R9). V5R9 delivers a set of business practices for breakthrough product morphing Transforming one image into another; for example, a car into a tiger. The term comes from metamorphosis. Morphing programs work by marking prominent points, such as tips and corners, of the before and after images. , which automatically combines existing design data and templates with new specifications to form an original, full-featured product and production systems design. Morphing draws on next-generation reuse of design data and knowledge to dramatically accelerate product and production system developments and maximize capitalization of past experience. Companies of all sizes and in any industry can utilize V5R9. Interoperability with multiple computer-aided design computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), form of automation that helps designers prepare drawings, specifications, parts lists, and other design-related elements using special graphics- and calculations-intensive (CAD), product data management (PDM (1) (Product Data Management) An information system used to manage the data for a product as it passes from engineering to manufacturing. The data includes plans, geometric models, CAD drawings, images, NC programs as well as all related project data, notes and ), and other business systems has been enhanced to accelerate deployment and integration within existing solution environment. The new release will be available worldwide on July 26, 2002, with a total of 374 products under four brands: 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. (129 products), DELMIA DELMIA Digital Enterprise Lean Manufacturing Interactive Application (130 products), ENOVIA (89 products), and SMARTEAM (26 products). "By introducing morphing today with V5R9, we illustrate again the uniqueness and capability of our 3D PLM solutions," said Bernard Charles, President and CEO of Dassault Systemes. "With V5R8, we established the benchmark for 3D PLM. V5R9 breakthrough morphing capabilities are the result of world-class partnerships with our leading customers, which regard morphing as the key driver for slashing development time and costs significantly and redefining competitiveness for their industries." Introducing Product Morphing Building on Dassault Systemes' undisputed leadership in digital mock-up mock·up also mock-up n. 1. A usually full-sized scale model of a structure, used for demonstration, study, or testing. 2. A layout of printed matter. (DMU (Digital MockUp) The combination of geometry data from multiple CAD systems rendered and manipulated as a sub-assembly, assembly and/or product. DMU - Data Management Unit Data Manipulation Unit Data Multiplexer Unit ) technology, V5R9 opens up a new dimension in product life cycle management by providing customers with automatic, intelligent product morphing. Product morphing involves the combination of data generated from previous development programs and/or predefined templates with new program specifications, resulting in the transformation of this combined information into a new, valid design for the required program environment. Knowledge models are applied during the transformation process to guarantee conformity of the new design with business and technical requirements, standards and lessons learned. As a final step, analysis tools verify the viability of the resulting design within the new context based on external constraints. Morphing can be applied to any industry type and product size, ranging from complete, full-scale products, such as car bodies, to smaller components, such as tooling resources. It does not limit itself to the use of product definitions; resource and process definitions can also be transformed in combination with the product. This additional flexibility makes it possible to optimize the role of manufacturing within new product programs. Value for the Customer
Product morphing provides 3D PLM customers with a host of
additional benefits, including:
-- Radical reductions in development cycle time and costs
-- Best practices sharing by the best people across the enterprise
-- Improvements in product quality through prevention of error
replication
-- Improved product accuracy and market fit because critical
development decisions came be made right up to product rollout
-- Consolidated brand identity through consistent formalization,
stabilization, and control of product characteristics
-- Bidding advantages for "engineering-to-order" companies,
through improved reliability and faster response to requests
for proposals (RFPs)
-- Innovation due to enhanced opportunities for creative
decision-making
As the prerequisite for best-in-class product morphing, 3D PLM enables companies to optimize their business Processes for engineering, manufacturing, maintenance and support, using Collaborative Workspaces to share a common product, process and resource model (PPR PPR peste des petitis ruminants. ). With PPR, companies can capture, share and reuse Knowledge throughout the product lifecycle. The open CAA Caa See CCC. (Component Application Architecture) V5 allows extension of this solution to - and integration within - multiple enterprise environments. -- Process-Centric Product morphing draws on the expansive process coverage afforded through the vast range of product and production system creation and life cycle applications based on unified V5 architecture. It capitalizes on product value derived from multiple disciplines for maximum re-use. -- 3D Collaborative Workspace Morphing relies on connectivity and 3D communication efficiencies created by collaborative workspaces used by the different disciplines to build reusable digital products and production systems. -- PPR Product, process and resource models are intelligently updated when product variations occur. As a result, digital products created by morphing can be quickly validated within the context of manufacturing models. -- Knowledge Morphing leverages rules and lessons learned from previous product development programs. The use of rich knowledge models and business specifications to drive the modification of the digital products and processes becomes the key differentiator of the morphing practice. -- CAA V5 Numerous third-party applications based on CAA V5 expand the scope of associative product simulation and downstream definitions to transform existing intellectual property into more valid and complete results.
