3D design software maker Dassault Systemes today said it has partnered BMW Group to help the German car manufacturer develop its lightweight and emission-free BMW i3 electric car.
"BMW Group leveraged Dassault Systemes' comprehensive and integrated industry solution experiences for the design and manufacturing of composite parts and structures," Dassault Systemes Executive Vice President (Corporate Strategy - Industry and Marketing) Monica Menghini said in a statement.
Utilising composite structures gives vehicle manufacturers the innovation space they need to create new mobility experiences while meeting ever more stringent regulatory targets, Dassault Systemes CEO (CATIA) Philippe Laufer said.
Using Dessault's CATIA Composites Design applications, composites manufacturing constraints can be embedded early in the conceptual stage, enabling increased design iteration and early collaboration between design and manufacturing.
The applications also provide a seamless experience with digital continuity, from design to manufacturing, predicting manufacturability. It allows faster composites assemblies and components designs.
