Advances in Product Modelling and Simulation at Dassault Aviation

Abstract

Aerospace industry has always been in the forefront in relying as much as possible on modelling and simulation to continuously increase global efficiency of product development and realization. A comprehensive combination of partial tests and simulation stands as a low-cost approach to limit the number of necessary prototypes to design, develop and qualify a new product, For more than 30 years Dassault Aviation has invested large efforts in the field of product modelling and simulation, as it has always been considered as an essential asset in the sustained competitiveness of the company The best known offspring of this policy is the CATIA software initially developed by Dassault Aviation for its own needs, and now a world standard marketed by Dassault Systemes The presentation will lay out what today's Dassault Aviation specific answers are in terms of processes and tools as well as the future challenges to be taken up considering future combat air systems.
