HOW DESIGN SOFTWARE can deliver excellence in aerospace
TAKING A NEW APPROACH Recently launched, ‘Co-Design To Target’ is a new approach that ensures a program is delivered on time, on budget and on objective. To achieve this, it includes several capabilities. Co-Design to Target’s program governance capability not only coordinates program execution but inherently tracks progress against all key criteria, including cost, schedule, workload, performance, risk and opportunity; while a real-time view of an aircraft design’s performance changes the way aircraft are engineered. It also provides designers and architects with the ability to design in the context of traditional digital mock-up (DMU), but also in the context of a new Functional Mock-Up (FMU) that incorporates a design’s behaviour. It delivers a more complete and true-to-life program definition to orchestrate requirements, systems and structures, so that all engineers work in harmony. Integrating engineering value streams
Solutions from Dassault Systèmes that are tailored exclusively for the aerospace and defence industry are helping to break down the traditional barriers between teams, divisions, partners, suppliers, customers and society to enable collaboration that results in innovative and improved products

n today’s aerospace and defence industry, many companies fail to reach
their budget, schedule and specification targets due to increasingly complex systems, overly aggressive plans, and the premature incorporation of new technologies. Furthermore, the design phase of a program can be plagued by disconnected workflows, point solutions differing across a program’s ecosystem, and a constant flow of unpredictable changes into a program’s design. In aerospace and defence, Dassault Systèmes has driven innovations that have transformed how engineers, designers and experts work. Its technology enables such individuals to define, communicate, collaborate and predict how their designs will perform so they can be optimised even before

they are built. While this focus on performance has enabled the industry to overcome past challenges, the future requires a new focus – orchestrating how these experts interact. “We’ve partnered with the world’s
leading aerospace and defence companies for over 30 years, developing products to exacting requirements, while incorporating complex technologies and mitigating risk,” explained Michel Tellier, vice president, aerospace & defence. “Dassault Systèmes extends that partnership to tomorrow’s programs with 3DEXPERIENCE Solutions that enables aerospace & defence companies to confidently drive program efficiencies, scale capacity to meet growth, and enhance the experience they deliver to their customers.”

– from design and simulation to part fabrication planning and resource programming preparation activities – Co-Design to Target’s mission is to design components and sub-systems to reach their specifications quicker. This prevents late issues that may have a dramatic impact on program cost and schedule. Monica Menghini, executive vice
president, industry & marketing, Dassault Systèmes, commented: “While we have played a pivotal role over the past 30 years with our 3D design technologies in transforming how new aircraft are engineered, we must now focus on transforming how new programs are executed with our 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Our goal with Co-Design to Target is to provide an industry solution experience that delivers new levels of engineering productivity and the execution control to deliver programs as promised.”
AIRCRAFT DEVELOPMENT The use of Dassault Systèmes technology has been critical to the successful development of Bell Helicopter’s 525 Relentless aircraft, explains Bennie Peek, CIO. As a result, the company will be deploying Dassault Systèmes solutions to new programs. In addition, for the development of its
