LOS ANGELES, Calif., Nov. 29 – Dassault Systèmes, the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today announced that its 3DEXPERIENCE platform’s CATIA application was used in the development of the majority of vehicle debuts -- both worldwide and North American – at the 2012 LA Auto Show. Dassault Systèmes, a sponsor of the LA Auto Show Design Challenge, revolutionized vehicle development through digitalization of design processes. Originally adopted by pioneering automakers in 1982, CATIA and other applications, including ENOVIA, DELMIA, 3DVIA, and SIMULIA, continue to be at the forefront of product development innovation. CATIA firmly maintains its position as the leading automotive design and engineering application and continues evolving to better meet industry trends.
Today’s automakers are faced with multiple challenges, including increasing vehicle complexity due to aggressive emission standards, rising use of embedded technologies and globalization. To address these trends, Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform offers an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to product development where all engineering domains and solutions are linked together in a common and dynamic platform.
Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform and its industry solution experiences are comprehensive solutions comprised of multiple applications that can be implemented in a modular approach and directly targeted at specific industry trends. Dassault Systèmes’ most recent automotive industry solution experience, “Smart, Safe & Connected Car,” assists automakers in meeting the demands of increasing vehicle complexity due to burgeoning electronics and software usage, helping accelerate development of embedded systems while achieving ISO26262 safety standards and AUTOSAR compliancy.
“It is no longer enough to just focus on offering a CAD or PLM solution,” said Al Bunshaft, Managing Director, North America, Dassault Systèmes. “Our 3DEXPERIENCE platform creates intelligent virtual products that allow customers to test form, behavior and interactions inclusive of consumer emotion and preferences. This allows the industry to make critical decisions earlier in the vehicle development process, helping deliver cars that people truly desire, while meeting cost and quality targets.”
Visitors to the LA Auto Show can experience the power of Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform through live demonstrations at the CATIA Design Café in room #511A, featuring CATIA for Creative Designers. Designers can take a Test Drive of the CATIA unified industrial design workflow applications, including Natural Sketch for drawing concepts directly in 3D, Imagine & Shape for ultra-fast 3D concept models, and instantaneous Live Rendering with physically correct photorealistic visualization. These demonstrations are powered by the latest hardware technology from NVIDIA for graphics processing, and Wacom for sketching excellence.

The ability to control fluid streams at microscale is of great importance in many domains such as biological processing, guiding chemical reactions, and creating structured materials. Recently, it has been discovered that placing pillars of different dimensions, and at different offsets, allows fluid transformations to “sculpt” fluid streams.

NASA has awarded a $125,000 grant for a project intended to 3D print food for astronauts in space. The printer will mix together basic nutrients such as oil and protein powder to create the food. It will also allow the user to input their sex, age, and weight so that it can make the food based on the individual's own nutritional needs.

03/20/2013 | SAS | This white paper examines how an enterprise-wide quality platform can turn existing data into substantial and sustainable revenue growth and cost savings for global manufacturers. The paper is based on the findings of the IW/SAS Enterprise Quality Survey completed by more than 400 manufacturing executives. The objectives of the survey were to determine concerns about quality among manufacturers; investigate the tools used to measure quality; and examine how using enterprise-wide analysis on quality data improves performance.
07/19/2011 | Univa | TATA Steel Automotive Engineering’s concern grew when open source Grid Engine support and development was discontinued by Oracle. Grid Engine is a business critical application in their environment. They recognized the likelihood that product enhancements and innovations would cease. Read how TATA Steel Automotive Engineering moved from a self-support solution to Univa Grid Engine. You can get more out of your environment and your budget with Univa Grid Engine.
