Dassault Systemes and IBM Announce Version 5 Release 16 of
their Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Portfolio; New Version Empowers
Innovation Networks
8 Nov 2005
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 8, 2005--Dassault Systemes (DS)
(Nasdaq: DASTY; Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) and IBM today announced the
release of Version 5 Release 16 (V5R16) of their Product Lifecycle Management
(PLM) portfolio, comprised of CATIA for collaborative product development, and
ENOVIA and SMARTEAM for product data and life- cycle management, collaboration,
and decision support. Concurrently, Dassault Systemes announced DELMIA V5R16
for the digital development of factory and production processes.
"V5R16 helps our customers create more innovative
products and leverage the talents of their global supply chains," noted
Dominique Florack, Executive Vice President, R&D, Dassault Systemes.
"The new release increases the power of the V5 PLM platform in three ways:
by delivering unified PLM solutions for unrivalled gains in productivity; by
extending the reach of 3D XML within the enterprise for ease of communication;
and by accelerating performance with Microsoft Windows 64-bit support."
The V5R16 release:
Optimizes Business Processes - V5R16 extends the coverage of
the large portfolio of V5 process-centric applications. It delivers significant
new PLM capabilities for all industries in the modeling, simulation and
electrical domains. New Product Simulation Management capabilities in ENOVIA
fully integrate product simulation with design and lifecycle management
processes - improving productivity for all companies that perform and manage
product simulations.
Empowers Value Chain Innovation - V5R16 delivers powerful
new collaboration capabilities within ENOVIA V5 VPM Navigator and SMARTEAM TeamPDM,
enabling extended networks of partners to work together in globally distributed
3D environments. Entire engineering packages can now be shared and managed
bi-directionally while protecting intellectual property, enabling true
concurrent engineering across the value chain.
Streamlines Engineering-to-Manufacturing Cycles - V5R16
delivers on Dassault Systemes' Product-Process-Resource model. Major new
extensions in the ENOVIA Engineering and Manufacturing hubs enable companies to
obtain unique competitive advantages from the CATIA, DELMIA, ENOVIA and
SMARTEAM PLM applications. V5R16 improves the integration of engineering and
manufacturing environments: engineering specifications captured within the 3D
environment are automatically made available and accounted for during
manufacturing process planning, thereby ensuring a lean process flow from
design intent to production set-up.
Continuously Grows Intellectual Capital - V5R16 captures and
re-uses business processes and intellectual property, both at the enterprise
level with Enterprise Process Management, leveraging IBM Websphere technology,
and at the Engineering or Manufacturing level, with the V5 Business Process
Knowledge templates.
Maximizes Standard Adoption - V5R16 has been designed to
deliver a comprehensive 64-bit PLM architecture, and continues to leverage the
proven openness of the V5 platform by providing major XML enhancements through
its combined 3DXML and web services strategy. Adoption of the V5 architecture
continues to grow, with two new industry-leading CAA partners and 360 V5
applications already available. New integration of the 3D XML Player with Lotus
Notes enhances collaboration and joint decision-making by sharing 3D product
and business information.
"V5R16 is a key enabler of the processes we are
deploying on the 787 program," said Kevin Fowler, Vice President, Systems
Integration Processes & Tools, The Boeing Company. "Most notable is
the integration of Product Lifecycle Management using 3D-only design data
across engineering definition, manufacturing and product support. This
demonstrates the continuous innovation and breakthroughs we are realizing
working with Dassault Systemes on the 787 program."
At Fissler, a developer of innovative cookware and kitchen
accessories, Dr. Andreas Hillenmeier, Manager of Product Development, noted,
"Our Intensa cooking systems are renowned worldwide. They are synonymous
with quality and innovation. CATIA V5 and SMARTEAM have been instrumental in
helping us constantly exceed our customers' expectations. We are all excited
about the potential for CATIA V5 and SMARTEAM to further improve our products
and efficiency."
"Helping customers increase their competitiveness is
always foremost on our minds. Our ability to help our customers respond to
their critical challenges in a changing and highly competitive environment is
certainly strengthened with this release. Leveraging the support of IBM's open
and scalable PLM infrastructure, we can offer even more value to customers
engaged in continuous innovation," says Walter Donaldson, General Manager,
Product Lifecycle management, IBM.

CATIA for collaborative product development - V5R16 accelerates
collaborative product design with 64-bit support of the full CATIA portfolio on
Microsoft Windows. It strengthens virtual product design and simulation by
significantly improving the CATIA solutions in the simulation, electrical,
shipbuilding, and modeling domains. It expands the usefulness of the open and
extremely lightweight 3D XML format by embedding additional PLM product
information, such as annotations and animations. The new release enables
3D-only paperless design-to-manufacturing, while VPM Navigator and TeamPDM
streamline product development, by enabling teams to seamlessly manage advanced
design process information from within a single engineering desktop.
ENOVIA for product data and lifecycle management and
decision support - V5R16 supports AIX and Windows 64-bit across all ENOVIA DMU
and VPM portfolios. It drives next-generation openness and infrastructure
standardization via native Web Services connectivity, and deepens industry
process coverage through new products for managing product simulation and
electrical cable routing processes. V5R16 widens the scope of the Engineering
and Manufacturing hubs' cross-process coverage, thereby streamlining global
product development collaboration. The release enriches industry-leading PLM
change management and Enterprise Process Management tools for unprecedented
business agility, and accelerates ENOVIA V5 deployments and user-productivity
through improved navigation and reporting tools.
SMARTEAM for product lifecycle collaboration - V5R16 fosters
powerful design continuity across the value chain by facilitating collaborative
exchange around CATIA relational data. It optimizes decision support by
seamlessly integrating impact analysis and digital mock-up processes, and
improves deployment of enterprise collaboration practices. V5R16 improves
productivity through enhanced process automation and product knowledge reuse,
and lowers the total cost of ownership through expanded enterprise
interconnectivity and support for de facto industry standards.
DELMIA for digital development of factory and production
processes - V5R16 supports Windows 64-bit across the entire DELMIA PLM
portfolio. V5R16 enables users to access and manipulate very large datasets as
they develop, plan and validate manufacturing processes. It delivers more power
to capture and communicate knowledge efficiently, and helps the extended
enterprise deploy V5's unified solutions for engineering and manufacturing.
'Best in Class' manufacturing process planning, detailing, simulation and validation
solutions for the machining and ergonomics domains are reinforced. The reach of
3DXML is extended to the manufacturing domain.
