Dassault Renews R&D Support for K-Challenge
 SURESNES,
France, July 9, 2008 - Dassault Systems (DS) (Nasdaq: DASTY; Euronext Paris:
#13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
solutions, today announced that it has renewed its R&D partnership with
K-Challenge, providing the America’s Cup team with CATIA virtual design
solutions to help them prepare for the 34th America’s Cup. K-Challenge will
use CATIA to design and optimize its hull drawing as well as the boat’s
structure.
The yachting industry is a fast growing, competitive market undergoing
profound changes from craftsmanship towards more industrial processes. Some
of the most famous yacht designers, naval architects, small/large yacht
shipyards and suppliers across the globe are using Dassault Systems
solutions based on CATIA.
“The value of CATIA lies in its ability to provide a seamless flow of
information and integrate all the disciplines throughout the design process
all the way to manufacturing, in particular for the definition, calculation,
optimization and manufacturing of composite structures, as well as the
integration of the naval ‘design spiral’ and advanced hydrostatic
calculations,” explains Dimitri Nicolopoulos, technical director for
K-Challenge. “It is the early development of these tools and methodologies
that will really enable us to move much faster once the measurement rules
are set. I’m delighted to continue working with Dassault Systems. Their
support is a true added value for our work, and it confirms our strategy to
prepare all our tools upstream.”
“By renewing its partnership with K-Challenge for the next America’s Cup,
Dassault Systems confirms its support to K-Challenge’s design innovation,”
says Laurent Couillard, vice president PLM value channel, Dassault Systems.
“The preliminary design phase should allow the development of new methods
for the definition and optimization of the hull. Dassault Systems will
contribute actively to this stage, drawing on its powerful collaborative
design technologies and expertise in cutting-edge industry sectors.”
Dassault Systems provides yacht professionals from small and large yacht
builders to naval architects and subcontractors with packages dedicated to
their specific line of business. These solutions address the associated
processes with the right styling, hull design integrating hydrostatic
calculations, structure, and composite design products, industry
methodologies and best practices.
