Enhanced Engineering Efficiency for Complex Projects with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

Assystem and Dassault Systèmes Partner to Digitally Transform Nuclear Engineering

SINGAPORE
— August 15, 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, and Assystem (Euronext Paris: #74148, ASY.PA),
the leading European engineering company, recently announced that they have
extended their collaboration to the nuclear engineering sector. This
collaboration aims to improve the management and industrial performance of
complex engineering projects by using digital technologies.

Assystem’s Energy and
Infrastructure division will deploy Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform to
build a new information system for its engineering missions on nuclear
facilities, to support engineering data management, configuration management,
procurement, program management and resourcing capabilities.

Dassault Systèmes will leverage
this collaboration with Assystem to deepen the identification of specific challenges
and needs of the nuclear sector.  This
knowledge will be used to develop future industry solution experiences based on
the 3DEXPERIENCE platform that can digitally transform processes and
methodologies, improve efficiency and, ultimately, enhance the owner and
operator experience.

Nuclear power plants and
other large assets have a lifecycle of about 50 years, making safety,
compliance and delivery critical.  Owners
and operators face design, construction, operations and maintenance challenges
due to limited resources, tight margins, high operational risk, and complex
stakeholder communication, among other factors.
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform connects all stakeholders, and ensures data
traceability and alignment with compliance, requirements and specifications
throughout the engineering phase.

“As the demand for energy
increases, so does pressure to optimize the use of global resources, and this
can only be achieved through greater scientific and engineering innovation,”
said Thomas Grand, Vice President, Energy, Process and Utilities Industry,
Dassault Systèmes.  “Together with
Assystem and its engineering expertise, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform can support the
full development of equipment and plants by enabling the virtual integration of
their entire lifecycle requirements from the outset, improving safety,
efficiency, profitability and sustainability.”

“Thanks to our 50 years of experience in
nuclear, we have acquired a first-hand understanding of the operational
challenges and needs of operators of nuclear facilities,” said Stéphane
Aubarbier, CEO of Assystem’s Energy and Infrastructure division.  “Given our large presence in the automotive
and aerospace industries, we also have in-depth understanding of the use of
engineering digital tools in the industry. Assystem is therefore ideally placed
to capitalize on its dual experience in nuclear and digital technologies for
the benefit of its clients. The new partnership with Dassault Systèmes enhances
our unique positioning in the support to clients aimed at the improvement of the
performance of their nuclear infrastructures thanks to digital technologies.”

This collaboration is the latest between
the two companies. In April 2015, Dassault Systèmes and Assystem announced a
partnership for the development and delivery of personalized aircraft cabins
with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and Assystem’s system integration and
engineering services. In the nuclear sector, Assystem is already using the
3DEXPERIENCE platform for all of its engineering activities in the U.K., for a waste
management project for the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) and for the
research project ITER.
