Developer of real-time 3D digital assembly model tolerances simulation and visualisation software suite appoints exclusive resellers for the USA and France.

Icona Solutions, developer of the Aesthetica real-time 3D digital assembly model tolerances simulation and visualisation software suite, has appointed exclusive resellers for the USA and France.

Based in Hazel Park, Michigan, USA, Cards Engineering LLC has been appointed the exclusive reseller of the software suite in the USA.

Meanwhile, Paris-based Cards Engineering Sarl has been appointed the exclusive reseller in France.

Both companies are subsidiaries of Germany's Cards Engineering, which was appointed the exclusive reseller of Aesthetica in Germany in summer 2005.

"From the first moment that we saw Aesthetica, we were convinced of the software's potential to ensure consistent, high build-quality of automotive vehicles through the ability to simulate and to visualise, in real-time, the results of tolerance analysis runs on 3D digital assembly and subassembly models, early in the vehicle design development process", said Bernhard Philipp, Chief Executive, Cards Engineering.

"I am therefore confident that the extremely positive feedback on Aesthetica that we have received from the automotive industry in Germany will now be repeated in the USA and France".

David Belford, Executive Chairman, Icona Solutions, said: "With its focus on the worldwide automotive industry and its high level of technical expertise in terms of product lifecycle management and IT systems integration and development, Cards Engineering has proved itself to be our ideal partner in Germany".

"I am therefore delighted that this partnership has been extended to the USA and France".
