  • Dassault Systèmes to Acquire Exa Corporation
    Dassault Systèmes to Acquire Exa Corporation Strengthens Simulation Portfolio with Next Generation Fluid Dynamics Capabilities on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform Proven Technology and Industrialized Solutions Available to Customers in All Industries Companies’ Complementary Strengths Expand Power of Digital Engineering Throughout Value-Chain VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France — September 28, 2017 — Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) and Exa Corporation (NASDAQ:EXA), a global innovator in simulation software for product engineering, today announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement for Dassault Systèmes to acquire Burlington, Massachusetts-based Exa. Under the terms of the merger agreement, unanimously approved by Exa’s Board of Directors, a subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes will commence a tender offer within the next 10 business days to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Exa common stock for a price of $24.25 per share payable in cash upon completion of the offer. This represents a fully diluted equity value for Exa of approximately $400 million. Exa’s fiscal year ended January 31, 2017 and its revenue was $72 million. With the addition of Exa, Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform will provide customers with a proven, diverse portfolio of combined Lattice Boltzmann fluid simulation technologies, as well as Exa’s fully industrialized solutions and nearly 350 highly experienced simulation professionals. This set of solutions solves challenging fluids problems faster and more accurately than traditional methods for aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, thermal management, and a growing list of applications in other industries. Exa’s software is used by designers and engineers at more than 150 leading companies in transportation and mobility, as well as aerospace and defense, natural resources, and others to evaluate highly dynamic fluid flow throughout the design process.

  • Poweracoustics
    PowerACOUSTICS SEEKING QUIET Assessing wind and industrial noise pollution levels is becoming increasingly important to transportation manufacturers. Consumers demand quieter vehicles while government regulations demand reduced community noise. J. D. Power and Associates’ initial quality surveys indicate that wind noise is consistent- ly the number one consumer complaint, directly impacting consumer brand loyalty and vehicle sales. Reducing interior noise levels to achieve occupant comfort is therefore at the forefront of acoustic engineers’ concerns. Additionally, with increasing air, rail and highway traffic, the amount of noise propagat- ed into the community neighborhoods also has escalated. In order to remain customer competitive and compliant with government regulations, today’s manufacturers need to be able to assess their designs’ acoustic impact early in the development process. SEEING & HEARING NOISE BEFORE IT HAPPENS: A CHALLENGE Interior and far-field noise levels are typically not assessed until late in the development process when prototypes are built. This is often too late to make significant changes to the product design—requiring late stage design re-work or sound package upgrades such as thicker and/or laminated glass, adding significant cost and weight. Acoustics engineers face numerous challenges: acoustic wind tunnel tests are expensive, flow visualization and noise source identification are difficult, and testing is not pos- sible until physical prototypes are available. A numerical simulation approach is highly desirable for early design assessment. However, most available numerical solvers do not provide accurate prediction of complex transient turbulent flow, required for effec- tive acoustic simulation. PowerFLOW’s unique transient and com- pressible flow solver technology allows engineers to simulate and visualize the flow-induced sources of noise and resulting tran- PRODUCT BRIEF sient pressure loading on the external surfaces.
