Dassault Systèmes Announces New
SIMULIA Partner Program
SIMULIA ecosystem unites CAA V5 and ABAQUS alliance programs
Cambridge, Mass., February 20, 2006 - Dassault Systèmes
(DS) (Nasdaq: DASTY; Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in
3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today announced the
creation of the SIMULIA Partner Program.
SIMULIA is the Dassault Systèmes open multi-physics platform that
supports realistic simulation for a wide range of industries. By significantly
reducing the need for the physical testing of products, SIMULIA accelerates
innovation and reduces the cost of ownership for realistic simulation,
optimizing quality and performance.
The new SIMULIA Partner Program unites simulation partners from the ABAQUS
Alliance Program with Dassault Systèmes' Component Application
Architecture (CAA V5) community. This partner ecosystem supports the development
of the broadest range of interoperable solutions for virtual testing in
a wider range of industries than DS' traditional markets.
"The SIMULIA Partner Program leverages the synergy of the current
CAA V5 and ABAQUS alliance programs, enabling our partners to develop
integrated solutions that meet the increasing customer demand for unified
simulation," said Mark Goldstein, CEO of SIMULIA. "Our customers
will gain productivity and competitive benefits from leveraging the most
comprehensive set of interoperable virtual testing products."
SIMULIA, launched by Dassault Systèmes simultaneously with the
DS acquisition of ABAQUS in October 2005, provides an open platform for
enabling the integration of all types of simulation applications. Partners
and customers who adopt the open SIMULIA platform will benefit from enhanced
collaboration, interoperability, and standards compliancy among leading-edge
simulation technologies. SIMULIA is a key component in Dassault Systèmes'
larger strategy for a unified, collaborative 3D environment for design,
experimentation, simulation, production & automation.
Dassault Systèmes' CAA V5 Partners, developers of more than 360
complimentary PLM applications, will converge at DEVCON, June 27-28 in
Paris, France. DEVCON will be the first venue for SIMULIA partners to
meet, share their experiences, and learn more about the future possibilities
of the SIMULIA platform.
About SIMULIA
In 2005 Dassault Systèmes announced SIMULIA, the brand that encompasses
all DS simulation solutions, including ABAQUS and CATIA analysis applications.
SIMULIA is the open platform for multi-physics simulation that can be
used by our partners and customers not only for automotive, aerospace,
general machinery, and consumer products, but also by industries facing
complex simulation challenges, such as the biomedical, molecular sciences,
geophysics, pharmaceuticals and electronics businesses. By building on
established technology, respected quality, and superior customer service,
SIMULIA makes virtual testing an integral business practice that enables
engineers and scientists to improve product performance, eliminate physical
prototypes, and drive innovation. To find out more, visit www.simulia.com
