Dassault Systèmes Acquires SIMPACK

Expanding the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform with Leading Multi-Body Simulation Solutions 

Hello All,


We are very excited to announce the acquisition of SIMPACK, a Dassault Systèmes partner for the past ten years!

SIMPACK was founded in 1993 as INTEC, a spin-off from DLR, the German Aerospace Center. SIMPACK has more than 130 customers in the energy, automotive, and rail industries, including Alstom, Bombardier, BMW, Daimler, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, MAN, and Vestas.

The company is focused solely on the design and development of multi-body simulation software and services. From initial concept designs, through to production and redesigns,SIMPACK is used to help engineers fully comprehend and optimise systems, vastly reduce the need for physical prototyping, reduce time-to- market and to improve product quality and lifespan. In essence SIMPACK enables manufacturers to gain a competitive edge by offering the ability create high quality products in a time and materially efficient manner thus reducing overall costs in design, production and maintenance.

SIMPACK is primarily used within the automotive, railway, engine, wind turbine, power transmission and aerospace industries. Within all industries SIMPACK is used for single component design and complete system analyses. Besides taking internal dynamics and control into account, SIMPACK can also consider any external influences on the system, e.g. ground disturbances and aerodynamic loading.

Dassault Systèmes is thrilled to be expanding its SIMULIA realistic multiphysics simulation technology portfolio to include multi-body mechatronic systems, from virtual concept validation to the real-time experience. “Today’s acquisition of SIMPACK, part of a larger, ongoing strategy to continually expand the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, enables a complete virtual and real product experience, like never before” said Bernard Charlès, President and CEO, Dassault Systèmes. “Consumers expect automobiles, aircraft, and nearly all products to continually get smarter, safer, faster, quieter, and more efficient. This means companies need to do more than engineer everything coming together – such as controls, movement, bending, and noise. They need to experience their product as they create it.”

With SIMPACK technologies enhancing the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, Dassault Systèmes will provide the leading integrated solution for end-to-end development of advanced systems, combining realistic multi-physics simulation, accurate real-time simulation of mechatronic assemblies, and control of smart systems.
