Supporting XMpLant Software Will Provide Digital Continuity for the Lifecycle of Plants and Ships

Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE Platform Extends Interoperability on Large Assets for the Energy, Process and Utilities and the Marine and Offshore Industries

SINGAPORE — July 18,
2016 — Dassault Systèmes (Euronext
Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, world
leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle
Management (PLM) solutions, today announced that the 3DEXPERIENCE platform now
extends the support of XMpLant with an integrated high-performance software
tool providing interfaces to the major process plant and ship design systems
used by the energy, process and utilities and the marine and offshore
industries.  Companies can transfer legacy engineering models with
associated intelligent information to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform in order to
improve collaboration, design time, productivity and operations.

Offshore platforms, ships, nuclear power plants and other large
assets are designed and engineered with a complex ecosystem of suppliers and
millions of parts.  XMpLant provides access to this intelligent
information in an ISO 15926 compliant open neutral format, supporting the full
structure, attributes and geometry of 2D schematics and 3D models.  With
integrated XMpLant support, Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform delivers a
ready-to-use solution with standard-based interoperability that connects process
plant and ship engineering, procurement and construction data and processes in
a unified virtual environment.

As a result, engineering, procurement and construction
stakeholders have digital continuity throughout the entire lifecycle of a plant
or ship.  Design reviews integrate models from multiple sources with
attributes, costs, quantities, specifications and time.  Concept, design,
engineering, fabrication, construction, procurement and owner teams have
simultaneous and real-time access to design models, project data and expert
knowledge of team members and customers, improving collaboration and
productivity.  A digital referential further enhances performance and
profitability once assets are in production.

“Integrated XMpLant support is another achievement in Dassault
Systèmes’ commitment to business platform openness with a variety of interfaced
and multiple exchanges standards such as IFC, Step, IGES, and our existing
capacity to read the XMpLant format,” said Thomas Grand, Vice President, Energy,
Process and Utilities Industry, Dassault Systèmes.  “The 3DEXPERIENCE
platform was developed to support openness, which is a key contributor to
successful customer collaboration and innovation.”
