Dassault Systèmes (DS) (Nasdaq: DASTY; Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today announced that Glass Service Improve BV, a provider of advanced solutions for glass manufacturing, is using professional services and Abaqus Unified Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software from [Providence-based] SIMULIA to accelerate and optimize the development process of non-round glass bottle forming.

"New container designs have traditionally been introduced through a trial-and-error process in a live production environment,” stated Gerard de Leede, Managing Director, Glass Service Improve BV. “Increased market pressure has made the old process impractical. SIMULIA’s expertise and Abaqus FEA software make it possible for our customers, such as Bormioli Luigi, to save money and shorten time to market for boutique glass designs like perfume bottles.”
