European Spallation Source Selects the 3DEXPERIENCE with ENOVIA
As noted on ENGINEERING.com:
PLM consultant and Dassault Systèmes reseller TechniaTranscat entered the new year with good momentum by securing several important orders for PLM systems with related services. This includes an order worth €8 million from a major German player in the automotive industry.
On Thursday, they followed up with a new prestigious PLM order, this time from the European Spallation Source (ESS), which has just started construction of a giant facility in Lund, Sweden.
The ESS is a facility where researchers explore the next generation of materials and their properties by accelerating protons and colliding them with neutrons in a huge underground facility.
To be more precise, the concept of spallation in this context is synonymous with the process of a heavy metal's atomic nucleus becoming unstable and emitting neutrons after being bombarded with protons.
“ESS will catalyze and stand for the next generation of research into pharmaceuticals, materials and physics. The PLM system that we deliver will enable the smooth functioning and secure planning, development and operation of the ESS,” said Jonas Gejer, CEO of TechniaTranscat.
The ESS in Lund will also do research in areas such as life sciences, energy, environmental and climate technologies, as well as more fundamental research in physics.
To support this giant undertaking, ESS chose to implement Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE® platform. More specifically, ENOVIA V6 will be the database and backbone for product data management, while CAx work will be based on CATIA V6.
ESS will use these solutions to support the development of the neutron collider and related equipment, as well as the operation of the facility.
ESS will also implement TechniaTranscat’s proprietary solution TVC (Technia Value Components.) The program is based on the company's extensive experience in the implementation, operational support and methodology development of Dassault Systemes’ ENOVIA PLM software.
Besides making the implementation process easier, the software also adds a number of features, mainly centering around usability and data visualization. It has around 300,000 users globally, and is also being resold by Dassault Systèmes.
