Dassault Systemes (DS) (NASDAQ: DASTY; Paris: DSY), a
world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions,
today presents its CATIA Systems strategy, putting embedded systems
modeling at the heart of CATIA. DS selected the open standard,
Modelica, to be at the core of DS' open strategy. Hence, the
announcement of DS' acquisition of Dynasim, a Swedish company, leader
in Modelica based modeling and simulation solutions, with the Dymola
product suite.
"The creation of CATIA Systems demonstrates DS' commitment to
expand its PLM vision in all sectors which require embedded systems
innovation," says Dominique Florack, Executive Vice President,
Strategy, R&D, Dassault Systemes. "DS' strategy is to offer an open V5
embedded systems platform, based on unique mathematical foundations,
enabling customers to model, simulate and manage the life-cycle of
100% of the behavior of their products."
"I am delighted that DS has selected Dynasim as the key component
of its V5 embedded system platform," said Dr Hilding Elmqvist, founder
and CEO, Dynasim AB. "Via DS' integration of CATIA Systems and
Modelica based Dymola technologies, DS' strategy, with its partners,
is to help companies switch from a proprietary simulation-centric
approach to a full virtual product model. I expect that companies in
diverse markets, including high-tech and consumer electronics, like
Toyota Motor Corporation, will soon be making this switch."
"I am delighted that DS is embracing the Modelica approach and
communities," says Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Otter, German Aerospace
Center (DLR), Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics and chairman of
the Modelica Association. "Our strategy is to dramatically expand the
worldwide Modelica community, with the help of DS. Eurosyslib, an
initiative to generate multi-industry Modelica based content,
illustrates the dynamic of this market and strengthens Modelica as the
emerging de facto standard for embedded systems modeling."
CATIA Systems is based on three cornerstones:
-- CATIA Systems Collaborative Intelligence - fully supported by
ENOVIA 3D Live
-- CATIA Systems Modeling and behavior-driven simulation -
including Dymola technologies and Modelica support adoption
-- CATIA Systems V5 SOA infrastructure for collaborative
lifecycle management - embracing ENOVIA VPLM, SmarTeam,
MatrixOne's capabilities to support end-to-end processes, from
concept to deployment
With CATIA Systems, DS will enhance its consulting practices for
embedded systems, supporting customers' business transformation
strategies, for product innovation. Dynasim will continue to serve its
existing clients with its product suite Dymola.
