Joe Gibbs Racing Gets Siemens PLM D-Cubed License
 PLANO,
Texas, July 27, 2010 - Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the Siemens Industry Automation
Division and a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM)
software and services, and Joe Gibbs Racing, one of the premier organizations in
NASCAR, today announced the licensing of Siemens PLM Software’s D-Cubed software
for integration in specialty applications.The D-Cubed 3D DCM (Dimensional
Constraint Manager) will now be deployed in any in-house software application
that requires a 3D geometric constraint solving component. The 3D DCM is already
integrated in NX software, which Joe Gibbs Racing continues to use for all
aspects of product development.
“Licensing D-Cubed 3D DCM further strengthens our successful relationship
with Siemens PLM Software, which already supplies NX and Teamcenter for our
digital product development and lifecycle management processes,” said JD Gibbs,
President, Joe Gibbs Racing. “Siemens PLM Software’s portfolio of applications
and components enables us to deploy the optimum combination of off-the-shelf
end-user products and customized in-house applications to fulfill our demanding
range of requirements. We settled on the 3D DCM because it offers the best
functionality, performance and quality. We have the added reassurance of knowing
that it is developed and supported by the most well established vendor of
geometric constraint solving components.”
“D-Cubed 3D DCM is already integrated into applications used by upwards of
one million end-users for assembly constraints, kinematic simulation, 3D
sketching and the direct editing of part shapes,” said Joan Hirsch, vice
president of Product Design Solutions, Siemens PLM Software. “Custom
applications in any of these areas can now be rapidly developed at Joe Gibbs
Racing based on the world’s most widely deployed 3D geometric constraint
solver.”
A Tradition of Technology and Tracks
Siemens PLM Software has a long tradition of providing NX software, Siemens’
comprehensive digital product development solution, and Teamcenter software,
Siemens' digital lifecycle management solution and the world’s most widely used
PLM portfolio, through racing sponsorships. Hendrick Motorsports, winner of the
1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup
Championship; Joe Gibbs Racing, winner of the 2000, 2002 and 2005 NASCAR Sprint
Cup Championship; Roush Fenway Racing, winner of the 2003 and 2004 NASCAR Sprint
Cup Championship; and Andretti Green Racing, winner of the 2004, 2005 and 2007
Indy Racing League (IRL) IndyCar Series Championship; have been using Siemens
PLM Software for many years to help develop their cars and improve their
performance on the race track. KB Racing, winner of the 2003, 2004, 2005
and 2006 National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Pro Stock Championship, began using
Siemens PLM Software technology in 2005, and the Renault F1 Team, winner
of the 2005 Formula One Drivers and Constructors Championships, established a
partnership in 2004 using Tecnomatix software, Siemens PLM Software’s
best-in-class digital manufacturing solution.
