Dassault, Russia's NIAEP Extend Partnership for Nuclear Power Plant Construction

VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France, May 17, 2016 - Dassault Systems (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, announced that it has extended its strategic partnership with NIAEP, the state company of Rosatom, a leading Russian nuclear power plant engineering procurement and construction company in Russia and abroad. NIAEP is deploying Dassault Systems’ “Optimized Plant Construction” and “Efficient Plant Operation” industry solution experiences for the construction and operations of its nuclear power plants.

Both industry solution experiences leverage Multi-D technology, jointly developed by the two companies to simulate business processes and carry out detailed modelling of construction and installation processes based on 3D data, as well as NIAEP’s nuclear power plant construction management know-how. 

With this agreement, NIAEP becomes the first company to extend its use of Dassault Systems’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform to the nuclear power plant construction site. This marks the second phase of the partnership and will begin by integrating product management and construction site execution at its Belarusian plant. In phase one, announced in 2012, NIAEP used the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to develop the first 3D digital nuclear plant management model. 

The “Optimized Plant Construction” industry solution experience provides NIAEP with digital continuity that enhances collaboration between its engineering and construction teams on site. In this virtual environment, plant design models, construction processes and resources are integrated and interconnected through a single source of data that is accessible and updated in real time. Less time is needed for reviews and approvals of documentation and issues can be proactively addressed, increasing the quality of construction execution.

The “Efficient Plant Operation” industry solution experience introduces powerful digital simulation applications to virtually experience NIAEP’s nuclear power plant sites that will provide accountable, reliable and predictable performance of plant operations. NIAEP can simulate workflows, maintenance and tasks to ensure that commissioning, production operations and maintenance of plants occur safely, efficiently and sustainably. 

“This step is an achievement for NIAEP because our company is striving to cover the nuclear operational lifecycle stage with Multi-D technology developed with Dassault Systems,” said Vyacheslav Alenkov, Head of systems engineering and IT division, NIAEP. “We have implemented Multi-D within all of our own projects. Now, we are going to expand that usage to every capital construction, production operations and maintenance project in Russia and abroad, based on a project management consultancy model.”

“The first deployment of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform at a nuclear plant operational site is a major industry milestone for operations of complex infrastructures, including thermal and hydro,” said Monica Menghini, Executive Vice President, Chief Strategy Officer, Dassault Systems. “The virtual world can help NIAEP optimize its activities at every stage of the business cycle and adapt to insufficient planning, changing requirements and poor visibility of schedules and resources that lead to costly and delayed plant operations. With this renewed partnership, NIAEP and Dassault Systems demonstrate the possibilities for greater sustainability in nuclear.”

Dassault Launches 'Perfect Product' for Consumer Packaged Goods Industry

VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France, Jun 13, 2015 - Dassault Systems (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, announced the launch of the “Perfect Product” industry solution experience for consumer packaged goods companies. Based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, “Perfect Product” offers brand and contract manufacturers a digital collaborative innovation platform to discover and develop high-performing formulas that reinforce brand equity and inspire consumer loyalty.

For manufacturers of beauty, personal care and household goods, a formula’s performance determines the quality of a consumer’s product experience and the willingness to repeat a purchase. In a crowded marketplace where over 80 percent of new product introductions fail within their first year, discovering breakthrough molecules by evaluating benefits through scientific simulation in silico translates into accelerated time-to-market, increased sales and clear product differentiation.

“Perfect Product” brings together consumer insights, formula discovery and design, regulatory compliance and product specification management into a single platform. This enables multiple functions inside and outside the enterprise to collaborate together in real time, accelerating formula development, optimizing costs and virtually eliminating product recalls related to formula non-compliance.

“With ‘Perfect Product’ based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, consumer packaged goods businesses can deliver winning products with authentic performance claims and strengthen the value of their brand,” said Philippe Loeb, Vice President, Consumer Packaged Goods & Retail Industry, Dassault Systems. “Our business platform unifies fragmented people, processes and systems. This can result in improved quality, in reduced sourcing and launch costs by up to 30 percent and in shortened development time by up to 20 percent.”

“Perfect Product” is the third industry solution experience introduced by Dassault Systems that is tailored for the consumer packaged goods and retail industry, following “Perfect Shelf” and “Perfect Package.” Companies now can design the key elements of product, package and shelf in a single digital platform, with the agility to create better products for the consumer at a lower cost while reducing the risk of failure.

Dassault Launches 'Passenger Experience' for Aerospace, Defense Industry

VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France, Jun 13, 2015 - Dassault Systems (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, announced the launch of “Passenger Experience,” a new aerospace and defense industry solution experience, featuring high-end 3D visualization technology for the profitable delivery of customized aircraft cabins.

Aircraft modernization and the retirement of thousands of aircraft over the next decade have led to a strong build cycle in the industry. This is spurring innovation in cabin personalization as an effective tool for business jet original equipment manufacturers, completion centers, suppliers and airlines to differentiate themselves and build customer loyalty.

Based on Dassault Systems’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, “Passenger Experience” uses high-end 3D visualization technology and interactive content to transform engineering data into powerful, visual 3D design, marketing and sales applications that address all aspects of the cabin design experience- from initial customer interaction and design validation and verification, through to marketing campaigns.

“We are convinced that the Dassault Systems ‘Passenger Experience’ will help to better differentiate from competitors and more efficiently meet customers’ demands,” said Martin Rehmet, Product Manager, RECARO Aircraft Seating. “The results of our initial project with the sales configurator have exceeded our expectations.”

“Passenger Experience” automates cabin completion processes and personalizes cabin buying and marketing experiences with cost-effective and time-saving features:

• Essential intelligent ‘building blocks’ capture rules, regulations, and manufacturing knowledge to automate cabin interior design, development and delivery;
• Real-time cabin configuration and immersive cabin validation capabilities enable quick turnaround time on design configurations, reduce engineering changes and ensure that the final product meets expectations before a physical prototype is created;
• Different forms of training and visualization content, including web-based course-ware, interactive game-based training and fully immersive 3D visualization, increase training efficiency and minimize time out of the field for cabin crews and aircraft on the ground;
• 3D data provide marketing teams with high-end cabin images and videos to promote cabin designs that can be quickly adapted for a wide range of marketing purposes, digital channels and devices, and eliminate costly photo shoots.

“Allowing aircraft customers to experience their choices as they make them, to appreciate the beauty, effect, practicality, feasibility, cost and benefit in real time as they make these choices, is a key goal for ‘Passenger Experience’,” said Michel Tellier, Vice President Aerospace & Defense Industry, Dassault Systems. “There is a competitive advantage in bringing maximum harmony between the interior while it is being specified and what will be delivered, and ultimately marketed, to the private or commercial passenger.”

For more information on Dassault Systems’ industry solution experiences for Aerospace & Defense: http://www.3ds.com/industries/aerospace-defense

“Passenger Experience” will be showcased at this year’s International Paris Air Show (June 15-21) at Dassault Systems’ booth, F183 (Hall 2B) and Chalet B 161 (by invitation only).
