MicroStation to Use D-Cubed Constraints, Collision
Detection
 PLANO,
Texas, Oct 17, 2007 - Siemens PLM Software, a division of Siemens Automation
and Drives (A&D) and a leading global provider of product lifecycle
management (PLM) software and services, and Bentley Systems, Inc. of Exton,
PA, a leading provider of solutions for the lifecycle of the world’s
infrastructure, today announced that the D‑Cubed 2D and 3D Dimensional
Constraint Managers (2D DCM and 3D DCM) and the Collision Detection Manager
(CDM) software components have been licensed for use in the MicroStation
platform which is widely adopted for the design and management of buildings,
civil engineering projects, process and power plants and geospatial
information. In addition, Siemens PLM Software and Bentley Systems announced
a multi-year extension to their long-standing, successful deployment of
Parasolid software as the 3D geometric modeling component for MicroStation.
PLM Components are well known for their use in a wide range of mechanical
CAD applications. Various solutions from the portfolio have been deployed in
NX software and Solid Edge software from Siemens PLM Software Inc.,
SolidWorks software from SolidWorks Corporation, Autodesk Inventor software
from Autodesk Inc., and many other products. The new agreement with Bentley
is one of the most significant endorsements of the D-Cubed components by an
architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) vendor in the 18-year
history of the D-Cubed product line. Building on the Parasolid geometry
modeling kernel, these PLM Components will enable Bentley to bring
sophisticated design techniques, already proven in mechanical CAD
applications, to the AEC marketplace.
“The AEC industry is moving in exciting new directions. Technologies such
as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Bentley’s own Generative
Components are vastly increasing the number of design configurations that
architects and engineers can explore. Significant design changes can now be
made more rapidly, more easily, and more economically than ever before,”
said Shaun Sewall, Vice President of Platform Products and Technology at
Bentley Systems. “The D-Cubed components are an important part of our
strategy to provide advanced parametric design capability to our users. Our
experience with Parasolid, and our strong business relationship with the
Siemens PLM Software team over the past 10 years, left us in no doubt that
this extension to our partnership was the right choice.”
“We are confident that the extended application of Siemens’ PLM
Components will reinforce Bentley’s reputation for technical excellence and
innovation in the AEC market,” said Chuck Grindstaff, executive vice
president, Products for Siemens PLM Software. “As the leading provider of
open solid modeling and parametric design capabilities to the global
mechanical CAD industry, we are delighted with this significant step forward
in our contribution to leading AEC applications.”

About PLM Components; Parasolid and D-Cubed
PLM Components are software tools that can help increase the
profitability of software applications in the CAD, CAM, CAE and PLM
marketplace by raising their value and lowering their costs. This is
achieved by supporting innovation and interoperability with standard tools
that ensure quality and reduce time to market. Siemens PLM Software develops
these components, uses them throughout its own applications and licenses
them to independent software vendors and end-user organizations. Flexible
licensing arrangements and a simple, proven integration process enable any
organization, large or small, to bring innovative capabilities to their
applications quickly and economically. Part of the PLM Components family of
products, the Parasolid and D-Cubed components provide 3D part and assembly
modeling, editing and interoperability, 2D/3D parametric sketching, motion
simulation, collision detection, clearance measurement and visualization.
Applications include mechanical CAD, CAM, CAE, mold design, sheet metal,
AEC, GIS, structural, plant and ship design, CMM, reverse engineering and
sales configuration. For more information, please visit
