Dassault Systèmes hasacquired Safe Technology, a provider of fatigue simulation for predicting product durability.
The acquisition of Safe Technology, based in Sheffield, UK, expands Dassault Systèmes’ 3DExperience platform and its simulation applications (SIMULIA), providing a durability prediction solution.
Safe Technology, developer of the fe-safe durability simulation application suite, has more than 500 customers, including General Motors, Caterpillar, Cummins, Emerson Climate Technologies, Honda Jets, Harley Davidson Motor Company and Hyundai Motors.
“Consumers want a product that is built right. Durability deeply affects the emotional attachment between brands and their users. The 3DExperience platform is all about building brand loyalty for a company’s business and the products it offers. This is why Safe Technology is such a good fit for Dassault Systèmes,” said Bernard Charlès, President and CEO, Dassault Systèmes.
“Advanced fatigue and durability software solutions are an essential part of the product design process. Safe Technology will enhance Dassault Systèmes’ SIMULIA structural simulation to predict and analyse product life quickly and accurately.”
“Safe Technology has been working closely with Dassault Systèmes and its SIMULIA applications for more than 15 years.
"Dassault Systèmes is committed to keeping fe-safe at the forefront of fatigue technology as well as to delivering an open solution that supports all the leading FEA solvers,” said John Draper, Founder and CEO, Safe Technology.
“Acceleration of product development, integration of fatigue solutions into designer-orientated software tools and a high quality, global support network are critical to our growth plans, and being part of Dassault Systèmes and its SIMULIA team will enhance our ability to do all three.”
