Generative Mechanical Design Solution Enables up to 50% Reduction in Design Time

IBM and Dassault Systèmes today announced a new PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) industry solution that enables companies to improve design productivity and speed innovation by facilitating reuse of data and knowledge, re-adapted to a new context, from one project to another.

Industrial Products companies often base new product designs on up to 70 to 80 percent of the data and skills used in previous projects. With the Generative Mechanical Design (GMD) solution, companies can cut design time by up to 50 percent and can cut manufacturing and assembly time by up to 60 percent.

GMD is delivered through Collaborative Generative Design (CGD), a key component of the new, integrated IBM PLM Express Portfolio priced as an attractive PLM Solution for medium-sized businesses. It consists of CATIA V5 design and knowledgeware and SMARTEAM collaborative product development and standardized parts repository applications; the accompanying Generative Design Practices (GDP) Companion provides training materials and sample product templates for learning, applying and successfully implementating this new generative design approach.
