Dassault Systèmes introduces V5R21

Version 5 Release 21 demonstrates the continued enhancement of Dassault Systèmes PLM portfolio, currently deployed in over 100,000 customers worldwide.  V5R21 solutions establish “digital continuity” from engineering to real shop floor manufacturing operations.  Dassault Systèmes V5R21 research and development efforts have not only focused upon supporting customer needs in heavily-deployed industries such as automotive, but also upon leveraging Version 6 technologies for better co-existence of V5 and V6 solutions in customer environments.

Automotive customers will see new capabilities and improvements integral to their industry, such as the enhancement of CATIA’s Imagine & Shape solution to address the high standards required in automotive body shape design, the extension of Version 6 CATIA Class A surface modeling capabilities into V5R21, as well as wire harness enhancements. Moreover, the recent acquisition of Intercim and its MES and quality improvement solutions delivers open digital continuity from engineering to real factory operations. The new Shop Order Release 1 product enables DELMIA to be tightly integrated with either Dassault Systèmes or third-party MES solutions.
