Dassault upgrades 3DEXPERIENCE platform

Said to bring new capabilities to industries such as aerospace, defence, transportation and mobility, marine and offshore, V6 includes new xCAD file converters for easier supply chain collaboration and reuse of parts without translation; newly published APIs in robotics, ergonomics and machining; and additional xPDM interfaces for enhanced flexibility, including several with SAP. "At each release of our 3DEXPERIENCE platform, our focus is to provide our customers with improved capabilities to create the right value for their own customers or consumers," said Dominique Florack, senior executive vice president, Dassault Systèmes. "By thinking in terms of the final value that our customers need to bring to their ultimate consumers, we fundamentally impact the platform enhancements that need to be done." Bernard Charlès, the company's president and ceo, added: "We have evolved the V6 platform with our customers over the last few years. The addition of intelligent information search-based technologies, social innovation capabilities and realistic 3D virtual experiences made us ready to pioneer a new technological wave: a 3DEXPERIENCE platform to serve the social enterprise of the 21st century."
