According to DS, most companies across industries currently are facing significant challenges mastering the growing complexity of systems and complying with stringent quality and safety regulations, while controlling costs and delivery time. In recent years, DS has invested to meet customer demand for multi-disciplinary integration and collaboration, and thereby support its customers' transformation strategies.

“I am delighted to have Geensoft’s team of experts join Dassault Systèmes,” said Dominique Florack, senior executive vice president, Products, Research & Development, Dassault Systèmes. “Together we will make the virtual product closer to the real world.”

“As chairman of the Modelica Association,” said Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Otter, Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, DLR Research Center Oberpfaffenhofen. “I am very enthusiastic about this acquisition, which will further boost the smooth integration of Modelica and AUTOSAR provided through the EUROSYSLIB and MODELISAR European Research projects. Modelica is the winning language for multi-disciplinary systems modeling and simulation.  You will now be able to generate embedded code directly from Modelica and run it in the context of the virtual product model.” Geensys’ probably most prominent product is AUTOSAR builder, a software platform for the development of automotive applications.

DS’s V6 PLM platform provides a collaborative environment that aims at bringing together multiple systems engineering disciplines, working with many disconnected domain specific tools today.  By leveraging Geensoft technology on the V6 platform, and exploiting the power of 3D together with information search technology, DS believes it is positioned to deliver a new class of PLM systems engineering solutions.

“We are a long-time user of the Geensoft tools, including the AUTOSAR Builder, ControlBuild and Reqtify embedded solutions,” said Patrick Sudan, director of Automation, PSA Peugeot Citroën. “The integration of Geensoft’s innovative capabilities around modeling with DS’s systems engineering solutions and the ability to leverage models in embedded electronics and automation for development, integration and validation is very good news for corporate customers, such as PSA. By providing integration in the PLM design environment, we believe this acquisition has the potential to significantly improve the overall efficiency of our vehicle design process in the future.”

“We couldn’t dream of a better partner than DS to expand the reach of our solutions worldwide. Our customers, such as PSA Peugeot Citroën, Alstom and Airbus have already started to transform their embedded systems design approach. Integration with PLM will open new horizons for many companies in different industries looking to federate their innovation efforts,” said Marc Frouin, CEO, Geensoft.  “The implementation of end-to-end solutions for the modeling of functions and architecture, including embedded code, for the automotive, rail, and aerospace industries, will enable us to facilitate the delivery of new innovative products to the market and streamline development time and cost.”
