SOUTHFIELD,
Mich., February 10, 2004 - Elysium Inc., a
leading global provider of multi-CAD data exchange
software, today announced that it is developing
products that integrate SMARTEAM Product Lifecycle
Management solutions within the Unigraphics and
I-deas CAD environments. Elysium has also recently
joined the partner program of SmarTeam
Corporation, a Dassault Systèmes company (Nasdaq:
DASTY; Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), as an
official SMARTEAM Developer, bringing its
extensive experience in native 3D CAD data
translation to the PLM market.
The new integrations will enable manufacturers to
use SMARTEAM from within the I-deas and
Unigraphics NX environments to manage all product
design and attribute data, including 3D geometry
and product data intelligence. SMARTEAM solutions
provide comprehensive robust data and process
management and collaboration across the product
lifecycle, from concept to maintenance. This
development is part of Elysium’s program to
continually extend its expertise in the area of
data exchange, growing from 3D geometry into
product structure, Feature-based modeling,
Annotation and now PDM integration.
“Interoperability of standard 3D geometric data
was pretty much solved some time ago,” stated Ken
Tashiro, COO, Elysium Inc. “So for the last two
years, our developers have been tackling the
meatier issues involved with intelligence of the
3D data - attributes and metadata that provide the
IQ for the designs. The SMARTEAM PLM platform,
with its openness and accessible API, provides an
excellent technical platform for our integration
efforts, while SMARTEAM’s large customer base and
solid standing in the PLM market make this an
attractive strategic step forward for us.”
Elysium’s PDM translation products, known as
CAD.pdm, enable 3D product data, together with the
“design intelligence” captured in the related 3D
attributes and metadata, to be used, shared and
manipulated throughout the product lifecycle.
Previously, 3D solutions actually discarded 3D
attributes and PDM control information, creating
process problems.
“Extending the customer value inherent in SMARTEAM
solutions is our strategic objective, and we are
extremely pleased to partner with Elysium, a
state-of-the-art CAD integrator. Unigraphics and
I-deas users are now part of the growing SMARTEAM
multi-CAD PLM community, able to get more
innovative products to market faster,” stated
Avichay Nissenbaum, EVP, Marketing & Business
Development for SmarTeam Corporation.
The new integrations, to be offered as part of the
Elysium CAD.pdm product line, will be available in
Q2 2004. For more information, go to:
