Dassault Systemes and ZEH Software Announce a CAA V5 Development Partnership Agreement.Business & Technology Editors SURESNES, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 21, 2000 Integration of ZEH ZEH Zero Energy Home technical output management applications 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. V5 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 NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : 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 ZEH Software, Inc. (ZEH) announce the signing of a Component Application Architecture (CAA CaaSee CCC. ) V5 development partnership agreement with ZEH Software, Inc. Through this development agreement, ZEH will create, market and sell technical output management applications that are fully integrated and complementary to CATIA V5 solutions. The development of highly advanced digital applications for engineering and design has enabled companies to create exciting new products in record time and dramatically increase their productivity gains. With their business processes so significantly transformed, companies have to evolve their technical hardcopy output management systems to reach the highest level of efficiency and accuracy. Amongst a wide range of functionalities, CATIA V5 offers standard printing possibilities on UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). and NT environments. Most of the current graphic standards for printing are natively supported within CATIA V5, whose printing capabilities have been validated for major plotters and printers. Through this CAA V5 development partnership, Dassault Systemes and ZEH now enable CATIA V5 users to take full control of the plotting process from within their CATIA V5 applications and to optimize the use of available resources within the company. As a result, two applications have been developed: ZEHPRINT on CAA V5 is designed for the small- to medium-sized enterprise (SME (1) (Small and Medium-sized Enterprise) See SMB. (2) (Subject Matter Expert) An individual who is well-versed in the policies and procedures of a particular department or division. ) organizations. This solution provides the ability to print to a number of local or network plotters and printers, while keeping local control of printing and processing options. Users are also provided with efficient job tracking and device status within the CATIA V5 GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. . ZEHSERVER on CAA V5 is an infrastructure plotting and printing solution suitable for larger, potentially heterogeneous, environments. This product provides connectivity to existing and future devices, centralized management of plotters and printers, and server-based processing for improved performance and greater workstation productivity. It facilitates collaborative engineering by allowing users to plot and print anywhere within the company. "We have been providing solutions to Dassault Systemes clientele for years," said Jerry Martin
