Dassault Systemes Acquires Visualization Software Provider RTT

In a strategic move to perhaps gain market market share in the automotive industry, Dassault Systemes, announces today that it has inked a deal to acquire controlling interest (85%) of German visualization software developer, RTT. Munich-based RTT develops high-end visualization and rendering software, such as DeltaGen, PictureBook, POS Configurator, among others. The acquisition will include the company’s subsidiary Bunkspeed, which offers a line of powerful rendering software.
Dassult Systems, developer of CATIA 3D CAD software, has acquired RTT, a German developer of high-end visualization and rendering software.

RTT’s customer list is quite impressive, including big-wig car makers such as Audi, BMW, Daimler, Nissan, Porsche, Ferrari, General Motors, Toyota, and Volkswagen. Customers outside the automotive industry aren’t too shabby either, including The North Face, Electrolux, Eurocopter, Airbus, Addias, and Hugo Boss.
According to Dassault Systemes CEO and President Bernard Charles, the acquisition was in response to its customers’ demand for high-end visualization and rendering tools that further leverage their 3D product designs for sales and marketing purposes. “Our clients express a growing need to fully exploit their 3D digital assets, to transform their marketing and sales as part of their ultimate customer experience.”
The purchase price of RTT will be paid in cash. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary conditions precedent, including the approval of antitrust authorities in Germany and Austria. Dassault Systemes intends to launch in the coming days a tender offer in order to purchase up to 100% of RTT’s share capital for a price per share of EUR 40.

Good Solid Modeling

Solid modeling is great for visualizing ideas but it's often misapplied in finite-element analysis. One of the latest methods of slashing development time is to use the 3D models that CAD users create as a basis for finite-element analysis. In a perfect world, performing finite-element analysis on these models directly, rather than recreating data for this purpose, lets analysts concentrate more on analysis and less on syntax. Solids appear to be a wise choice as a basis for FEA because FE meshing can sometimes take place directly on CAD geometry without modifications. The literature abounds with examples of engineers doing exactly this. In real life, however, the interface between 3D CAD and FEA is seldom that simple. Solid CAD geometry almost always requires extensive modifications before it is suitable for meshing with finite elements. There also are occasions when solid CAD geometry is completely inappropriate for finite-element models. Successful interfacing requires...
