Dassault Systèmes announced at 3DEXPERIENCE World that Arena, one of the world’s leading purveyors of waterwear and an increasingly important player in the sport lifestyle segment, is using Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE Works to provide its customers with high performance products more quickly and sustainably. 3DEXPERIENCE Works extends Arena’s use of Dassault Systèmes’ SOLIDWORKS applications to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, which provides access to a portfolio of design, simulation and collaboration applications on the cloud that are tailored to Arena’s business needs. Arena’s teams and partners can work with real-time information and feedback in a collaborative virtual environment – creating, testing and optimizing virtual twins of higher quality products while reducing the number of physical prototypes, as well as the time and resources that would have been needed to prepare them. For example, the company has already cut the prototyping cycle for its swimming goggles by 70%, and accelerated their time to market. “With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform

 PDF On February 15, 2024, Renesas, a leading global provider of microcontrollers, announced that they have entered into an agreement to acquire Altium Limited, a global leader in printed circuit board (PCB) design tools. Renesas will acquire all outstanding shares of Altium for a cash price of A$68.50 per share (US$44.53 at today’s exchange rate of 0.65 A$ to US$), a total equity value of approximately A$9.1 billion (approximately US$5.92B).

In a first for Transform, Sage will bake

Lectra’s Board of Directors, chaired by Daniel Harari, reviewed the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year 2023. Audit procedures have been performed by the Statutory Auditors. The certification report will be issued at the end of the Board of Director’s meeting of February 28, 2024. Comparisons between 2023 and 2022 are based on 2022 exchange rates unless otherwise stated (“like-for-like”).
