Dassault Systemes S.A (Nasdaq:DASTY) and LMS International today announced the signing of a definitive agreement whereby LMS selects Dassault Systemes’ Version 5 Application Architecture as the framework for its next generation functional performance engineering solutions, integrating multidisciplinary virtual prototyping (CAE) and physical testing (CAT). These process centric solutions will be offered within the LMS products porfolio and delivered through the LMS sales channel.
Dassault Systemes’ Version 5 Application Architecture is a scalable object-based middleware infrastructure offering both generic and domain specific frameworks including for multi-physics CAE applications.
By taking immediate advantage of this powerful architecture LMS will accelerate the development and increase the scope of its core technologies and innovative solutions that speed up mission critical engineering processes, such as NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness), R&H (ride & handling), and durability.
Within this alliance, Dassault Systemes and LMS will exchange critical technologies and components to mutually enrich their respective solutions.
Dassault Systemes offers a scalable range of structural analysis solutions as part of CATIA. With LMS’s complementary CAE-CAT portfolio, customers who have invested in CATIA, DENEB and ENOVIA will have access to an enriched set of applications to better cover their entire product life pipelines.
"Our exposure to Version 5 unveiled a powerful and innovative open architecture, that makes it the most attractive, multi-platform and multi-CAD rapid application development infrastructure available today," said Dr. Urbain Vandeurzen, Chairman, CEO & President, LMS International. "We are now in a position to accelerate the delivery of the most competitive, fully integrated suite of multidisciplinary process solutions for functional performance engineering. These process solutions empower our customers for engineering innovation, uniquely integrate the CAE and CAT worlds and deliver superior product performance and process efficiency."
"The endorsement of V5 architecture by LMS places V5 as the unique middleware software development infrastructure on the market to develop integrated best-in-class e-business solutions to address customers’ end-to-end processes. Adding hybrid digital/real simulation capabilities on top of V5 accelerates our ability to "Create a Digital World and make it a Reality," said Bernard CharlËs, President, Dassault Systemes. "This innovative alliance further demonstrates Dassault Systemes’ willingness to create a network of companies, based on long-term relationships with high quality partners."
LMS International has been a Dassault Systemes CAA Strategic Development Partner since 1998 providing CAT/SYSNOISE and CAT/FALANCS fully integrated within the CATIA environment. A CAA Strategic Development partnership has already existed since 1993 with CADSI, now an LMS subsidiary, to complement the CATIA Kinematics solution with CAT/DADS Dynamic simulation offering.
Dassault Systemes S.A. is the premier global software developer for the CAD/CAM/CAE/PDM II market, providing companies with e-business solutions to implement their digital enterprise, thus creating and simulating the entire product life cycle from initial concept to product in service.
CATIA, ENOVIA and DENEB solutions support industry-specific business processes to help unleash creativity and innovation, reduce development cycle time, improve quality, competitiveness and shareholder value : CATIA supports the digital product definition and simulation, DENEB provides solutions to define and simulate digital manufacturing processes and ENOVIA delivers enterprise solutions that manage a comprehensive, collaborative and distributed model of the digital product, processes and resources. The combined integration creates the Digital Product life Pipeline, supporting re-use of corporate knowledge.
SolidWorks and SmartSolutions, as Dassault Systemes companies, offer respectively 3D design-centric and TeamPDM software solutions based on Windows.
In 1998, Dassault Systemes introduced a new generation application architecture for all its products called "Version 5". This architecture is object-oriented and based on components supporting and anticipating the emergence of new technologies such as CORBA, JAVA, OLE and Web to develop multi-tier and web based applications. "V5" is now the basis for the new generation CATIA, DENEB and ENOVIA as well as for partner applications. As such, V5 enables to support customers’ e-Product life cycle.
