DCNS selects 3DEXPERIENCE platform
DCNS has selected the 3DEXPERIENCE platform from Dassault Systèmes for the engineering, design, construction and lifecycle services of naval defence solutions, it was announced on 8 February.
The platform will be deployed by DCNS to manage the complete lifecycle of its products, including new-generation frigates, submarines, aircraft carriers, landing platform docks and patrol vessels. It will be used to support products from concept to engineering, and to building, maintenance and operations services. DCNS aims to use this platform to improve its operational performance globally.
Herve Guillou, president and CEO, DCNS, said: ‘Agility—the capacity to provide timely, reliable and efficient answers to our clients’ demands while insuring world-class system integration and operational, cost-effective lifecycle solutions—is a significant competitive advantage. Our co-operation with Dassault Systèmes and their transformational marine solutions provide a practical roadmap to achieve our ambitious goals from now on.’
Bernard Charlès, president and CEO, Dassault Systèmes, said: ‘The marine and offshore industry at large is going through a new dynamic of innovation as the open seas are becoming more strategic than ever. The DCNS decision to adopt the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to create a virtual twin of their products across all lifecycles will set a new level of performance in the naval sector. Our partnership with DCNS echoes our recent announcement with the world leader in cruise vessels Meyer Werft.’
