Dana Selects Dassault SIMULIA SLM
 PARIS,
France, and PROVIDENCE, RI, Aug 11, 2009 - Dassault Systems (DS) (Euronext
Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle
Management (PLM) solutions, today announced that Dana Holding Corporation, a
global vehicular supplier, has selected SIMULIA SLM as its simulation
lifecycle management solution to enhance product development decision-making
processes and support key business objectives.
Dana and SIMULIA have signed a collaboration agreement that will enable
Dana to use SIMULIA SLM software to capture and better leverage
product-performance knowledge and engineering expertise created during the
design simulation process. Working with SIMULIA, Dana will also help define
future technology requirements for the effective management of simulation
applications, data, and methods as they relate to the automotive industry.
“Product development is becoming more complex. It involves not just
system simulation requirements, but also the need to manage and share huge
amounts of engineering information that is housed throughout the world,”
stated Frank Popielas, manager of Advanced Engineering for Dana’s Sealing
Products Group. “SIMULIA SLM will provide us with consistency, accuracy and
faster turnaround time through easier, coordinated information access. Not
only is SIMULIA a proven leader in the CAE market, they have a deep
understanding of our engineering processes and workflows and share our
vision for leveraging simulation knowledge as a valuable business asset.”
SIMULIA SLM is based on Dassault Systems’ V6 platform, the online
collaborative environment for PLM 2.0, and enables the use of simulation
throughout the product lifecycle, improving efficiencies in the simulation
community, and capturing simulation expertise in consistently repeatable
standard processes.
“Dana is a leading innovator in applying CAE within their development
process,” stated Scott Berkey, CEO, SIMULIA, Dassault Systems. “Our solution
will help them achieve their goals of leveraging simulation to accelerate
decision making, enhance global collaboration, and secure their intellectual
property. This agreement demonstrates that our robust SLM solution is
gaining significant industry momentum.”
