LMS is First Company to Join Dassault Systèmes' New SIMULIA Partner
Program
Innovative engineering company embraces program that 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, and engineering innovation
leader LMS International today announced that LMS has become the first
company to join Dassault Systèmes' new SIMULIA Partner Program,
which unites simulation partners from the ABAQUS Alliance Program with
Dassault Systèmes' Component Application Architecture (CAA V5)
community. The V5-based LMS Virtual.Lab applications will be available
as partner products within the SIMULIA ecosystem.
"LMS is always at the forefront of our partners in deploying applications
based on our innovative architecture and have taken the lead in delivering
products which demonstrate the applicability of V5 to realistic simulation,"
said Mark Goldstein, CEO of SIMULIA. "As our premier partner for
simulation, LMS is an integral part of the SIMULIA strategy. By leveraging
the open platform of SIMULIA, LMS will be able to deliver enhancements
and new functionality, and expand Virtual.Lab for complimentary applications
in structural analysis and functional performance simulation."
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 SIMULIA partner ecosystem supports
the development of the broadest range of interoperable solutions for virtual
testing.
LMS Virtual.Lab is in production use by manufacturers worldwide for functional
performance simulation of their products. The LMS Virtual.Lab product
suite, built on a strategic alliance between Dassault Systèmes
and LMS International, was introduced in 2002 and provides customers with
next generation CAE/simulation solutions based on the V5 architecture.
Applications include structural dynamics, noise and vibration, acoustic
radiation, multi-body motion, fatigue and reliability. The product is
already successfully deployed at key international companies, including
Airbus, BMW, Boeing, Embraer, Ford, GM, Honda, Mitsubishi and PSA Peugeot
Citroën.
According to Dr. Jan Leuridan, executive vice president & chief technology
officer of LMS, digital prototyping and simulation will deliver the next
paradigm shift and breakthrough in the digital development revolution.
"The creation of SIMULIA for scientific computing is a clear indication
of the leadership role Dassault Systèmes will play in realistic
simulation, and it validates LMS' strategic direction to build world-class
simulation solutions on the Dassault Systèmes platform. The extended
partnership with Dassault Systèmes on the SIMULIA brand, will enable
LMS to extend its lead in providing system level, multi-attribute, multi-solver
functional performance engineering solutions that have become essential
to a world-class product development process. We are excited about this
next step in our partnership with Dassault Systèmes."
Through this confirmation of their strategic partnership, LMS and Dassault
Systèmes are strengthening their joint effort to deliver further
breakthroughs in simulation, empowering manufacturing companies to bring
more innovative and competitive products to market faster.
