Dassault
Systèmes (DS) (Paris:DSY) (NASDAQ:DASTY) (Euronext Paris: #13065,
DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
solutions, today announced that UK-based wind energy company quietrevolution
has deployed Dassault Systèmes PLM solutions to enhance design and
manufacturing of its wind energy generators.
Having calculated a mathematically correct shape for its
aerodynamically-optimized vertical axis rotor blades, quietrevolution
uses Dassault Systèmes’ CATIA to design, engineer and manufacture its
wind energy turbines. CATIA helps quietrevolution to capitalize
on the growing demand for wind energy systems by providing an efficient
design, development and production technology platform that allows the
company to make the most of its resources.
quietrevolution Design Manager Richard Kingsley said, “Product
development is at the heart of our work. In the short time that we have
been using Dassault Systèmes’ CATIA virtual design solution, it has
significantly improved our ability to efficiently complete the
design-to-manufacture processes of advanced structures.” Mr. Kingsley,
who has experienced PLM at Lotus Cars, Proton, Ascari and Aston Martin,
added, “Dassault Systèmes PLM allows us to digitally design, sign off,
investigate tooling feasibility, build products, and communicate 3D
designs. CATIA is the industry standard among our supply chain and it
allows us to exchange native files with partner companies leading to
more efficient production processes.”
Mike Crow, director, Dassault Systèmes said, “We are glad that quietrevolution
is utilizing CATIA leading-edge virtual design solutions to be at the
forefront of the wind energy industry. Using best practices developed in
conjunction with leading manufacturers from other industries, wind
turbine manufacturers can avoid costly trial and error in the real world
and significantly reduce development cycle time while manufacturing
stronger products with higher energy outputs by integrating design,
testing, and manufacturability analysis in a single environment.”
Darren Cairns of Intrinsys, the Dassault Systèmes value added reseller
that implemented and supports the solution said, “quietrevolution
is an example of a cutting-edge company using advanced 3D PLM technology
to lead the world in this sector of the wind energy industry. We are
proud to make our CATIA expertise available to help quietrevolution
develop new energy solutions by providing advanced production software
and the services that optimize its rewards.”
