DCS takes Tolerance Analysis to the next level with the Dassault Systèmes V6 open platform

June 12, 2012 - PRLog -- Dimensional Control Systems Inc. (DCS) is pleased to announce that their best-in-class tolerance analysis software, 3DCS Variation Analyst for CATIA V5, will soon be integrated into Dassault Systèmes V6 platform. The signing of this agreement formalizes the work already underway to create a streamlined platform supporting tolerance analysis and the management of dimensional quality data within the V6 environment.
DCS and Dassault Systèmes signed their first partnership agreement in 2000, integrating their 3DCS Variation Analyst in CATIA V5. During those twelve years, DCS has built a number of tools within the CATIA V5 platform to increase the functionality as well as create unique solutions for customer needs. DCS will be leveraging its knowledge with CATIA V5 to hit the ground running in V6.
“I am very pleased by this extended cooperation between Dimensional Control Systems and Dassault Systèmes. It is yet another demonstration of the fast growing adoption of the Version 6 Open platform by our partners and customers” says Dominique Florack, Senior Executive Vice-President, Research & Development. “Industries, such as Transportation and Mobility, Aerospace and Defense, High Tech or Consumer Goods among others will benefit from an end to end collaborative process for Mechanical systems Design, Simulation and Manufacturing, allowing designers, manufacturing process planners and tolerancing experts to jointly perform assembly variation analysis to reach increased end Product quality.”
3DCS Variation Analyst is a scalable, fast, easy to use product that supports Stylist, Perceived Quality, Design, Analysis and Manufacturing Engineers with a variety of capabilities to manage design quality from beginning to end of a product lifecycle. From visualizing the impact of design and manufacturing variation of a product’s perceived quality (fit and finish), to comprehensive in-depth tolerance analysis for identification of critical to quality characteristics, to root-cause analysis of variation problems in production, 3DCS covers the scope of dimensional quality while being seamlessly integrated into the V6 environment.
Bob Kaphengst, President and CEO of Dimensional Control Systems, said: “Tolerance analysis has become so integral to our customers’ product development strategy that a seamless integration into the V6 environment is necessary to keep up with the growing demands of reduced product development time and ever more demanding quality standards. As Dassault Systèmes and DCS share a common vision of providing our customers with the highest quality solutions and continually improving the PLM experience within the CATIA V5 environment, it was only natural that we would continue our partnership for V6”.

Dimensional Control Systems, Inc. (DCS) is a world class provider of Dimensional Engineering Consulting Services and Software Solutions. DCS is a privately held company established in December of 1994 by Robert A Kaphengst, President and CEO, and John H. Mathieson, Executive Vice-President and COO.
