Currently on ENGINEERING.com: Creating a Smart Digital Shipyard with Dassault’s 3DX

SAMSUNG HEAVY INDUSTRIES to collaborate with DASSAULT SYSTEMES on Model-Based Systemes Engineering (MBSE) solutions.
Last week, Dassault Systèmes announced a major order from Samsung Heavy Industries, which requires the companies to collaborate to establish a "smart digital shipyard." Samsung Heavy Industries wants to become "a global leader in the high-tech shipbuilding sector." To reach this goal, the company will use Dassault's PLM platform 3DEXPERIENCE as the basis of its digital system.
The announced agreement revolves around a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Dassault and Samsung Heavy Industries. The Samsung shipyard is one of South Korea's five largest in terms of new shipbuilding, slightly larger than Hyundai Heavy Industries which signed a cooperation agreement with Siemens on the PLM side earlier this year.
Specifically interesting in this context is that these agreements usually cover large volumes of users, normally involving several thousand seats, which means that they can be described as large businesses in the PLM area. According to my research, in Siemens case we’re talking about around 10,000 seats of NX CAD and the cPDm solution Teamcenter.
In light of this, it’s reasonable that over time Samsung’s bet on Dassault’s 3DEXPERIENCE platform will involve substantial numbers of seats as well, although no figures are revealed in the press material.
