Dassault Systemes (DS; Paris, France) announced V6, its next generation PLM 2.0 platform and solution set that was recently unveiled. This sixth generation version was conceived in collaboration with industry leaders and leverages the success V5 PLM. V6 harnesses the power of Web 2.0, Web 3D, and the DS technology portfolio.
The company calls PLM 2.0 a redefinition of the PLM market that is targeting all users creating, consuming, and remixing IP. The first release of DS' Version 6, called V6R2009, covers business processes designed to serve all of DS' 11 target industries.
Customers can select from more than 150 production-ready products addressing Lifelike Experience (3DVIA V6 enables users to create lifelike experiences for consumers, collaborators, and creators to imagine and play); Collaborative Innovation (ENOVIA V6 provides an open, online collaborative environment, on a single IP management platform, for all product lifecycle activities); Virtual Design (CATIA V6 introduces the next generation of collaborative virtual design capabilities across the enterprise); Realistic Simulation (SIMULIA V6 provides industry communities, from designers to simulation specialists, with a unique collaborative environment to perform lifelike simulation and virtual product behavior testing); Digital Manufacturing and Production (DELMIA V6 delivers next generation PLM 2.0 manufacturing solutions to create, share, execute and optimize virtual production systems).
CATIA, DELMIA, and SIMULIA V6R2009 are native PLM 2.0 online solutions with a patent-pending, unified user interface; they fully leverage the power of the ENOVIA collaborative IP platform. V62009 provides a solid foundation for DS' PLM 2.0 ecosystem extension.
