The first release of Dassault Systemes' Version 6, V6R2009, covers business processes designed to serve all of Dassault Systemes' 11 target industries.

Dassault Systemes (DS) has released the V6 PLM 2.0 platform and solution set.

This sixth-generation version harnesses the power of Web 2.0, Web 3D and Dassault Systemes' technology portfolio.

"PLM 2.0 adopts the concepts of online communities and creation, constituting a new paradigm for product innovation".

"V6 harnesses collaborative intelligence from diverse online communities to maximise intellectual assets, capturing and leveraging IP from all business and consumer users", said Bernard Charles, President and CEO, Dassault Systemes.

"With PLM 2.0 solutions like V6, virtual products and systems behave as they would in the physical world, allowing all participants to have immersive, lifelike experiences in 3D".

PLM 2.0 is a major redefinition of the PLM markets targeting all users creating, consuming and remixing IP.

The first release of Dassault Systemes' Version 6, V6R2009, covers business processes designed to serve all of Dassault Systemes' 11 target industries.

Customers can select from over 150 production-ready products.

3DVIA V6 enables users to create lifelike experiences for consumers, collaborators and creators.

Through 3D-powered lifelike experiences, consumers can try out products and suggest modifications at any stage of the creation process.

3DVIA helps companies market, promote, sell or maintain their products online with 3D-powered experiences.

Enovia V6 provides an open, online collaborative environment, on a single IP management platform, for all product lifecycle activities.

It allows companies to manage and monitor entire product lifecycles in an ad hoc manner to support global enterprise ecosystems, while remaining on-time and on-budget.

It brings together engineering and purchasing communities to efficiently set up suppliers' networks, manage sourcing negotiations and monitor supplier performance.

It allows the management of all product-related information, such as requirements, recipes and bills of material (BOMs).

The Enovia V6 IP platform provides for the indexing, searching and federating of IP from multiple data sources, such as office documents, ERP or PDM solutions.

Catia V6 expands the power of modelling from physical design to a RFLP approach, aggregating requirements, functional, logical and physical product definitions.

Catia V6 mdelling delivers user experiences and functions to shape and reshape 3D from any modelling source with speed, quality, realism and ease of use.

Simulia V6 provides industry communities, from designers to simulation specialists, with a collaborative environment to perform lifelike simulation and virtual product behaviour testing.

The Multiphysics Digital Lab delivers a virtual hub that supports diverse multiphysics simulation requirements and, therefore, dramatically reduces the need for physical testing.

The Open Scientific Platform supports all simulation-related product development and scientific research practices.

The Simulia V6 open scientific platform is the foundation for the development of Dassault Systemes' lifelike simulation ecosystem.

Delmia V6 delivers next generation PLM 2.0 manufacturing solutions to create, share, execute and optimise virtual production systems.

Manufacturing Planning supplies the entire supply chain with 3D process and resource planning solutions to create and optimise build-to-order and lean production manufacturing systems.
