ESI Group is to develop and sell its next generation solutions for virtual prototyping, manufacturing and environment using V5 middleware.

Dassault Systemes and ESI Group have signed a CAA strategic development agreement under which ESI Group will develop and sell its next generation solutions for virtual prototyping, manufacturing and environment using V5 middleware As a result of this partnership, ESI Group will first focus on delivering within V5, multi-physics realistic simulation solutions for crashworthiness and stamping processes

ESI Group is a world-leading provider of digital simulation software for prototype and manufacturing process engineering that takes into account the physics of materials critical for crash, safety, vibro-acoustics, stamping, casting, welding, flow and electromagnetics simulation.

Under the terms of the agreement, ESI Group joins Dassault Systemes' Software Community Programme as a CAA V5 Gold Software Partner.

ESI Group will benefit from the V5 environment to deploy its "virtual try-out space" (VTOS) strategy, a virtual engineering global solution that simulates manufacturing processes and the real-life performance of industrial products subjected to a wide range of phenomena in applied physics and mechanics.

The availability of these advanced capabilities in the V5 product definition and associative environment will optimise product engineering, improve product performance and quality, and reduce design cycles.

"We are confident that Dassault Systemes' CAA V5 can guarantee the best environment to deliver our integrated virtual try-out space and its unique virtual manufacturing solution to the PLM marketplace.

ESI Group's extended product portfolio and V5 based solutions will enable online decision making by creating the ideal platform for product and process resource optimisation.

Chaining manufacturing processes and prototype testing simulation will turn the current digital mock-up into a realistic physical digital model, reducing time-consuming and expensive hardware prototyping", says Alain de Rouvray, Chairman and CEO of ESI Group.

"ESI Group's endorsement of V5 is a new step forward in delivering the best realistic simulation portfolio available for all industries", said Dominique Florack, Executive Vice President Research and Development, Dassault Systemes.

"In addition, I believe that ESI Group's innovative approach to multi-physics simulation complements very well existing V5 applications from Dassault Systemes and our strategic partners".
