Dassault Systemes and CENIT Expand Successful CAA V5 Partnership to Include DELMIA V5.Business Editors PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 2002 CENIT Releases New CAA Caa See CCC. V5 Based "FasTRIM" Solution For Offline 3D-laser Cutting Integrated With DELMIA DELMIA Digital Enterprise Lean Manufacturing Interactive Application and 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 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: #13065, DSY DSY Drum Storage Yard .PA) and CENIT AG Systemhaus today announced the extension of their CAA V5 SCP (1) (Service Control Point) A node in an SS7 telephone network that provides an interface to databases, which may reside within the SCP computer or in other computers. partnership (Component Application Architecture V5 Software Community Program) to include DELMIA. CENIT's new FasTRIM Offline 3D-Laser Cutting Solution integrated for CATIA and DELMIA V5 is the latest addition to CENIT's suite of cutting products including CUT4AXES CAAV5 Based, a CATIA V5 integrated solution for programming and simulation of wire-EDM-cutting-machines delivered in November 2001. FasTRIM is an offline programming solution that supports the most modern 3D cutting and trimming technologies such as laser cutting, water jet trimming, and laser scribing. Formerly named LaserCUT, FasTRIM has been integrated in CATIA V4 since 1995. LaserCUT is the number one programming system for 3D Laser Cutting technology and is used by industry-leading companies such as Volvo, AUDI AUDI [not an acronym] Latin form of a German auto manufacturer's founder's name, meaning 'listen' AUDI Amiga Audio in AUDI Auto Union Deutschland Ingolstadt , VW, BMW BMW in full Bayerische Motoren Werke AG German automaker. Founded as an aircraft engine manufacturer in 1916, the company assumed the name Bayerische Motoren Werke and became known for its high-speed motorcycles in the 1920s. , DaimlerChrysler, PSA (Professional Services Automation) An information system designed to organize, track and manage all opportunities, work, resources, costs, revenues and invoices to improve the productivity and efficiency of the workforce. , Bombardier, and SAAB SAAB Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget (Swedish Aeroplane Corporation; auto/aircraft manufacturer) SAAB Student-Athlete Advisory Board SAAB Student African American Brotherhood SAAB South African Association of Botanists as well as many laser shops. "LaserCUT on CATIA Version 4 was our first step in the world of 3D CAD and 5-axis offline programming," said Jim Abbott, Novi, CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) See numerical control. CNC - Collaborative Networked Communication Center Inc. "Today we can say that LaserCUT is one of the main reasons that we can offer efficient and high quality laser cutting services. We are happy to see that this pragmatic and efficient solution will be available on a new platform in order to keep improving our current processes." "Three years ago, we replaced our previous solution by LaserCUT due to its leading functionality and due to the CATIA integration, said Ulrich Loffelhardt, head of Manufacturing Applications at Daimler Chrysler Germany. "With the V5-platform and its associative process chain, we see new opportunities to integrate FasTRIM with DaimlerChrysler's digital manufacturing concept." FasTRIM provides complete offline programming functionalities such as intuitive programming features, powerful simulation capacity, automatic path generation, best fit calibration to match machine home with part origin, automatic fixture builder and reverse engineering. Thanks to its DELMIA V5 integration and cooperation with leading machine suppliers, FasTRIM currently supports all well-known 5-axis machine tools (including Trumpf, Prima, Mazak, and NTC NTC Notice NTC National Training Center NTC National Telecommunications Commission NTC National Transport Commission (Australia) NTC Negative Temperature Coefficient NTC Naval Training Center ) and will support robot cells. CENIT will deliver an end-to-end solution by selling its integrated FasTRIM add-on to the DELMIA FasTRIM configuration and related services for a machine tool implementation kit. "The common V5 platform for CATIA and DELMIA, allows us to use best-in-class technology for all components of the FasTRIM solution such as geometry creation and access, offline programming, and simulation," said Peter Hinkel, e-Manufacturing Manager, CENIT. "The CAA V5 experience we acquired by developing a CATIA V5 integrated product (CUT4AXES) allowed us to seamlessly begin FasTRIM development as a DELMIA integrated product. The V5 platform enables us to develop our products very efficiently and provide our customers with a high quality, 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 integrated solution." "CAA V5, the open middleware for 3D PLM, provides a unique competitive advantage to both our customers and our software partners," said Stephane Declee, vice president Research and Development Strategy, Dassault Systemes. "By leveraging the V5 architecture in a single development effort, CENIT is able to provide the customer with an application fully integrated with CATIA and DELMIA. This tight integration is due to the unique V5 PPR PPR peste des petitis ruminants. (Product, Process, Resource) model, which natively serves to integrate the product with its processes and resources. CENIT's solutions enhance Dassault Systemes' 3D PLM offering and give our customers a consistent product portfolio covering all their business processes." About the CAA V5 Software Community Program The CAA V5 Software Community Program is dedicated to ISV (Independent Software Vendor) A person or company that develops software. It implies an organization that specializes in software only and is not part of a computer systems or hardware manufacturer. (Independent Software Vendors) willing to develop, sell and support CAA V5-based applications, fully integrated with CATIA, ENOVIA and DELMIA V5. This collaboration results in the expansion of Dassault Systemes' 3D PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) solutions to cover the entire product lifecycle range, thus enabling mutual customers to take advantage of a larger set of products in response to their specific industrial needs. By delivering best-in-class complementary V5 applications, CAA V5 Gold Software Partners further Dassault Systemes' objective of supporting and continuously improving customer processes. Gold Partners benefit from CAA V5 (Dassault Systemes' open platform and development environment for 3D PLM) as well as unique and privileged access to Dassault Systemes' R&D laboratory and advanced technical and marketing support.
