NEW PARTNERSHIP HELPS COMPANIES IMPROVE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS WITH REALISTIC SIMULATION

Sim3 Engineering Consulting Partners with Dassault Systèmes to Offer SIMULIA Solutions

CHICAGO – April 27, 2010-- Sim3 Engineering Consulting, a division of Graphics Systems Corp., announced today that it has partnered with Dassault Systèmes, a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, to provide the leading simulation software package from SIMULIA, to companies that need to simulate the real-world behaviors of their products, materials and processes. Simulation has become an important part of the product design and development process, as it helps organizations lower costs by reducing physical prototypes and improve product performance by identifying potential problems early in the development process.

“By partnering with Dassault Systèmes to provide SIMULIA solutions, Sim3 offers a complete solution for realistic simulation. In today’s competitive marketplace the ability to virtually test designs quickly and accurately, prior to committing to costly prototype development and physical testing, is more important than ever before. With SIMULIA solutions, we expand to further help companies create safer and more efficient products,” said Dave Kasinskas, president of Sim3 Engineering Consulting.

Designers, engineers, and researchers in a broad range of industries use SIMULIA’s scalable simulation solutions. The Abaqus product suite from SIMULIA offers companies unified Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and multiphysics solutions for insight into challenging engineering problems.

“The Sim3 team has a strong background in simulation and a passion for helping companies improve their products,” said Scott Berkey, CEO, SIMULIA, Dassault Systèmes. “Dassault Systèmes is excited to work closely with Sim3 to offer a simulation solution that lowers development costs and accelerates innovation for companies.”

Sim3 and Dassault Systèmes are showcasing SIMULIA solutions at the Design2Part Tradeshow
