Dassault Systemes (NASDAQ:DASTY) (Paris:DSY), a world leader in 3D
and product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions, today announced that
its CATIA virtual authoring, ENOVIA collaboration, and DELMIA digital
manufacturing solutions have helped Brazilian aerospace company
Embraer begin assembling the Phenom 100, its newest executive jet,
with zero cost and time-consuming design or manufacturing errors.
"The fuselage components we designed in CATIA fit together exactly
as designed and exactly as simulated," said Humberto Pereira, director
of development engineering, Embraer. "That accuracy helped us maintain
a testing and production schedule that keeps us on track to meet our
goal of getting the Phenom 100 into the air mid 2007 and into full
service in 2008."
"Our PLM solutions' ultimate function is to make our customers
more profitable through innovative product development, and that's the
exact role they're fulfilling at Embraer," said Marcelo Lemos, general
manager Latin America, Dassault Systemes. "The Phenom program is as
much about corporate strategy as it is about aircraft design because
Embraer is investing in a new market. The company's first foray into
the executive jets demanded a combination of performance and
cost-effective production that can only come from advanced 3D modeling
done in a collaborative framework. Our solutions helped Embraer align
its design and manufacturing processes with its business goals to
produce the best aircraft design for the task at hand."
The Phenom 100 and the companion Phenom 300 aircraft are Embraer's
first entries into the growing light and very light executive jet
markets. Embraer invested in innovations such as employing composite
material in primary structures to develop a larger yet lighter plane
that can carry passengers comfortably and at higher speeds than
competing aircraft, with improved fuel efficiency. Embraer is counting
on these qualities to help the Phenoms to improve their strategic
position in the market.
Embraer, the world's third largest manufacturer of commercial
aircraft, used CATIA to model fuselage sections of its Phenom 100
executive jet. CATIA models and DELMIA manufacturing simulations
helped the company produce the sections exactly to specification,
which eliminated expensive re-work. ENOVIA enabled Embraer engineers
to collaborate throughout the design process, which eliminated the
late-stage errors that can arise from conflicts between engineering
teams. Embraer recently started Phenom 100 prototype construction in
anticipation of first flight, to take place in mid 2007.
