Dassault Systèmes
is steering its V6 PLM suite in the direction of mechatronics design via its
latest acquisition of Geensoft, a
leading provider of embedded systems development solutions, for 5.5 million Euros.
By adding the capacity to model and generate
the entire vehicle control software system in the V6 portfolio, Dassault is
offering customers a complete validation loop, connecting the design of the
physical equipment with the digital mockup. What Geensoft brings to the
Dassault PLM 2.0 portfolio is important as companies across myriad industries
face significant challenges mastering the growing complexity of systems and
complying with stringent quality and safety regulations. At the same time, they
are also trying to control costs and meet aggressive delivery schedules. The
addition of the Geensoft technology, including the AUTOSAR Builder,
ControlBuild and Reqtify embedded solutions, into the V6 PLM environment will
help users make the virtual product closer to the real world, Dassault
officials said.

Accompanying the Geensoft acquisition
announcement, Dassault announced
V6R2011, the latest
release of its PLM 2.0 platform, which it is touted as part of its "lifelike
experience" strategy. The latest release includes 874 new features designed to
push advances in collaboration creation, as well as an entirely new V6 Academia
solution.
As one of Dassault's primary tenets of PLM
2.0, collaboration creation is about delivering sophisticated 3-D tools to make
the virtual modeling experience more lifelike along with extending design
collaboration to non-traditional users. As such, V6R2011 features advancements
to CATIA in the area of systems functionality and content, including various
automotive-focused Modelica libraries, as well as Lifelike Human and Lifelike
Conveyor, two new enterprise resource modeling solutions for the DELMIA
manufacturing software that's part of the Dassault PLM suite. The new
collaborative capabilities in V6R2011 are also offered as part of the company's
ready-to-use PLM solutions, based on the ENOVIA platform, which target 11
industries, including consumer packaged goods (CPG), fashion, high-tech,
aerospace and defense, and automotive. Also included in the platform upgrade is
SIMULIA V6R2011, which delivers the power of Abaqus' multidisciplinary
simulation capabilities for complex assemblies.
Accompanying the latest V6 upgrade is a new
offer for educational institutions. V6 for Academia includes CATIA, DELMIA,
SIMULIA, ENOVIA and 3DVIA in an integrated, collaborative platform.
