The acquisition of leading composites simulation and advanced draping simulation technology provider Simulayt Limited reinforces Dassault Systèmes' longstanding leadership in providing PLM composites solutions for sustainable innovation, addressing a key challenge facing manufacturers - how to predict and optimize the behavior of materials and minimize their weight while increasing their performance.
"Simulayt's strong technical expertise is widely recognized and its manufacturability simulation technology is systematically winning in all benchmarks," says Dominique Florack, senior executive vice president, Products, R&D, Dassault Systèmes. "The ability to further integrate this technology within our Version 6 platform is critical in addressing the composites materials and processes of tomorrow, with lifelike modeling and product/production simulation experiences."
CATIA Version 6 and CATIA Version 5 composite solutions allow users to virtually design, experience and manufacture any composites products. Simulayt adds the proven manufacturabi l i ty simulat ion technologies needed to better understand and accurately predict materials behavior, assess manufacturability, and optimize manufacturing processes.
"As the only credible PLM vendor with a thorough understanding of the composites market and the most complete composites end-to-end solution, Dassault Systèmes was clearly a natural choice for us," comments John Klintworth, CEO, Simulayt Limited. "I am very excited to actively contribute to Dassault Systèmes' leadership in this market, and to focus my efforts on further advancing the next-generation PLM design to simulation to manufacturing composites solutions."
Dassault Systèmes' PLM composites solution is unique on the market today, delivering comprehensive support of composites digital assets in the standard STEP format, for exchange and long-term archiving, a major industry requirement, especially in the aerospace sector.
About Simulayt Limited
Simulayt develops and licenses the Layup Technology, which incorporates advanced fiber simulation and ply modeling capabilities. This technology allows the efficient and integrated design, analysis and manufacture of fiber reinforced products. By simulating manufacturing processes and linking this data to analysis and design models, the engineer can develop better products with greater robustness at lower cost.
