Dassault Systèmes Supports Aerospace and Defense industry Ambitions

at Dubai Airshow 2013

The 3DEXPERIENCE Company Delivers IP Creation and Business Solutions to Civil and Military Partners

Dassault Systèmes the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, is showcasing commercial and technical aerospace innovation solutions on the GIFAS (French Aerospace Industries Association) stands at the Dubai Airshow from 17-21 November 2013.

The company's Industry Solution Experiences, Winning Programme and Co-Design to Target will be demonstrated. These advanced collaborative aerospace innovation and programme execution experiences enable competitive, on time and to budget delivery of lighter, stronger products within optimized business and production environments.

Dassault Systèmes has more than 30 years experience in aerospace and defense. The company pioneered 3D modeling and digital mock-up technology and first brought PLM (product lifecycle management) to the market. 3DEXPERIENCE Technology is the industry's 3D business and process simulation solution for OEM's and their supply chains. Users include Boeing, Airbus, Embraer Dassault Aviation, Agusta Westland, Astrium and Rolls-Royce.

Olivier Leteurtre, Dassault Systèmes Managing Director Western Europe, said. "The Middle-East is challenged to develop its aerospace industry capability, IP creation programme, and MRO (Maintenance Repair Overhaul) expertise through technology transfer. We partner in Government backed joint ventures with innovative regional aerospace manufacture and aircraft operators collaboratively developing solutions to meet that challenge."

Complex design and business information is managed and communicated using immersive 3D simulations. This provides stakeholders with the information they need to make better-informed business and engineering decisions based on a range of available and feasible alternatives. The software also ensures maximum productivity at every stage of product or service development. IP is generated, retained, managed and deployed as an increasingly valuable business asset to be used throughout an extended enterprise.

Dassault Systèmes is working within and beyond the aerospace sector in the Middle- East. Olivier Leteurtre said, "Most objects used throughout the world from a shampoo bottle to an airplane are designed, and their programmes managed with our applications. In this region we also partner with cities to sustainably develop and improve people's lives and the services that support them. The Middle-East has ambitious civic, commercial and industrial targets. We are proud to demonstrate how Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE is instrumental to their delivery."

Dassault Systèmes spokespeople Olivier Leteurtre, Managing Director Western Europe and Philippe Forestier, Executive Vice President, Global Affairs & Communities will be available for media interviews during the Dubai Airshow.
