Dassault Systemes and Dimensional Control Systems Announce a CAA V5 Development Partnership Agreement.Business Editors PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 30, 2000 Integration of 3DCS (1) See also DSC. (2) Digital Cross-connect System) A network switching and grooming device used by telecom carriers. See digital cross-connect. into 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. 3D Functional Tolerancing and Annotation environment 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, Bourse bourse (b  rs), term applied to a European stock exchange. The first international bourse was established in Antwerp in the 16th cent. de Paris) and Dimensional Control Systems Incorporated (DCS) announced today the signing of a Component Application Architecture (CAA CaaSee CCC. ) V5 development partnership. The purpose of this agreement is the seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. of DCS 3DCS Graphic Tolerance Simulation Software Simulation software is based on the process of imitating a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. solution within the CATIA V5 3D Functional Tolerancing and Annotation environment. This will enable the integration of customers' processes (from design to manufacturing) into a single environment. Providing reliable products in a very short time is vital in a competitive environment. Geometric defects being inherent to any part and assembly, their variations have a significant impact on the feasibility of the product implementation. Optimizing the tolerancing scheme becomes a determining factor for both cost reductions and the product quality improvement. CATIA 3D Functional Tolerancing & Annotation is a new generation CATIA V5 product, addressing an easy definition and management of tolerance specifications as well as annotations of 3D parts. Three dimensional annotations can be reviewed using ENOVIA 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 or DELMIA DELMIA Digital Enterprise Lean Manufacturing Interactive Application DMU Dimensioning & Tolerancing Review product. Both offer comprehensive tools to better interpret annotations and tolerances on specific areas of the design, or across the complete digital mockup Digital MockUp or DMU is a technology that allows product design engineers to replace physical prototypes with virtual ones, using 3D computer graphics techniques. It is also frequently referred to as Digital Prototyping or Virtual Prototyping. . The tight integration of 3DCS capabilities within the CAA V5 next generation architecture enables users to benefit from advanced and easy to use graphical and statistical dimensional variability simulation, through the entire design and manufacturing process. 3DCS On CAA V5 improves the robustness of design and processes, by maximizing part tolerances, highlighting areas sensitive to variations and as an end result, reducing rework of tools and gages. By direct access to CATIA V4 and CATIA V5 geometry plus Dimensioning and Tolerancing specifications, and also by benefiting from V5 MultiCAD capabilities, 3DCS On CAA V5 enables customers to perform analysis on data of their choice and to streamline their internal processes. Finally, 3DCS On CAA V5 is a new step in Dassault Systemes' strategy to build the most comprehensive set of applications dedicated to 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 (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 ). This collaboration will provide customers, within the Design and Manufacturing Industries manufacturing industries npl → industrias fpl manufactureras manufacturing industries npl → industries fpl de transformation such as automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, and machinery, with unmatched capabilities for achieving dimensional integrity and product quality through a single V5 window. DCS Executive Vice-President and COO John Mathieson John Mathieson may refer to:
"As we keep on moving forward to innovation and openness, we are delighted to welcome DCS in our CAA V5 community. First of all, we share the same goal: sustaining all industries in building more reliable products by delivering best-in-class solutions in the Dimensional and Tolerancing field" says Dominique Florack, Executive Vice-President, Research and Development, Dassault Systemes. "This common vision of delivering a world class 3D quality dimensioning portfolio is the promise to always offer the market more innovative and fundamental products to leverage its design process in a virtual 3D world. " The Dassault Systemes CAA V5 development partnership program is dedicated to companies sharing its goal to support and continuously improve its customers' business processes by delivering a consistent product portfolio. Dassault Systemes partners benefit from the next generation V5 Component Application Architecture as well as advanced technical and marketing support to develop, market and sell innovative products based on CAA V5 and de facto [Latin, In fact.] In fact, in deed, actually. This phrase is used to characterize an officer, a government, a past action, or a state of affairs that must be accepted for all practical purposes, but is illegal or illegitimate. seamlessly operating with CATIA V5. In order to ensure timely and compatible product releases, Dassault Systemes provides its partners with a unique and privileged access to early development code. Each integration release is tested to certify it high quality and compliance with CAA V5 standards to better serve the needs of our mutual customers. Dimensional Control Systems Inc.
