It’s been a busy few weeks for our Aerospace and Defense team as The International Paris Air Show (aka “Le Bourget”) wrapped up its 51st edition last week. With more than 2,200 exhibitors presenting, the show brings together all the players in this global industry around the latest technological innovations. Born in Aerospace & Defense, Dassault Systèmes has driven many innovations that have transformed how aviation engineers, designers, and experts work – all built from our 3D design expertise, and found in our the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.
In continuing this tradition, we’ve announced two new Industry Solution Experiences (ISEs) and four customer wins. Here’s a snapshot of the news:
- Introducing “Passenger Experience
Business jet OEMs, completion centers, suppliers and airlines are turning to cabin personalization as an effective tool to differentiate them and to help build customer loyalty. Using high-end 3D visualization technology and interactive content, the “Passenger Experience” ISE transforms engineering data into powerful, visual 3D design, marketing and sales applications that address all aspects of the cabin design experience.
- Airbus Helicopters Increases Efficiency and Quality With “Build to Operate
As aircraft modernization continues, along with the retirement of thousands of aircraft over the next decade, OEMs and large suppliers are implementing lean practices to help meet growing manufacturing demands. Airbus Helicopters, the world’s leading manufacturer of civil and military helicopters, recognized the need to better serve customers by replacing legacy operating systems with state-of-the-art digital capabilities. To support this, they’ve selected the newly launched “Build to Operate,” an ISE intended to help improve manufacturing execution. With “Build to Operate,” Airbus Helicopters can monitor, control and validate all aspects of manufacturing operations with digital precision – ranging from replicable processes and production sequences, to the flow of deliverables throughout their supply chain.
- Aeros Selects “Engineered to Fly” for its Flagship Product
Built by Aeros, Aeroscraft is a 770-foot-long airship kept aloft by helium-filled tanks and is set to change the way cargo is transported. Whether for the military, emergency response teams, or humanitarian missions, it’s a true reinvention of the airship. Aeros selected Dassault Systèmes’ “Engineered to Fly” to help design and deliver its flagship product – using simulation tech to validate the design against requirements and performance criteria, such as manufacturability. “Engineered to Fly” will ensure that each phase is completed on time.
- Safran Teams Up with Dassault Systèmes for Aerospace 3D Printing
Aside from aviation, if there’s a technology sector where Dassault Systèmes excels, it’s in the additive manufacturing space (also known as 3D printing). By combining Safran’s expertise in innovative 3D printing technologies and materials with Dassault Systèmes’ legacy of 3D design and engineering, this partnership will boost the production times, and create stronger, lighter parts and subsystems. The goal of this partnership is to create an end-to-end development and additive manufacturing, fully aligned with all processes and testing to provide digital continuity for all engineering parameters.
- Hispano-Suiza Chooses “Co-Design to Target” for Mechanical Transmission Designs
The mechanical transmission systems of Hispano-Suiza have logged more than 850 million flight hours worldwide, and this globally-recognized specialist company is working with Dassault Systèmes to power millions more.By using the “Co-Design to Target” ISE, Hispano-Suiza now has an enterprise-wide digital environment for design and engineering collaboration.It creates a single digital environment for all data and processes, ensuring engineers are working with the most current data to ensure quality and reduce time to market.
We’re excited to introduce these ISEs and proud to equip these customers with the technology to define, communicate, collaborate, and predict how their designs will perform even before they’re built – helping to overcome past and future obstacles.
