RAND North America's software solutions help its customers improve their competitiveness, productivity and profitability by enhancing key aspects of their Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) capabilities.  An important part of our value proposition is to find software solutions that complement our Dassault Systemes PLM products.

Rand North America is constantly evaluating technology that can add value for our customers and seamlessly integrate into their current systems.  Leveraging our strategic partners who have developed these world class complementary software solutions, we provide our customers with the following:

Q-Checker is a management system for Product Data Quality (PDQ). It is developed by Transcat PLM, a Dassault Systèmes company and CAA V5 software development partner. Fully integrated into your CATIA environment, Q-Checker will assist your company in implementing standards and quality related design rules as an automatic part of your design process and eliminate poor data quality issues.  back to top

Changes in the definition of a 3D CAD model can happen anywhere in your or your supplier’s process. These undesired changes can be concealed and imbedded in the 3D CAD data. If undetected they can cause disastrous problems downstream costing time and money. To solve this problem Kubotek has created a tool that gives complete, precise comparison of 3D CAD files with encrypted reporting capabilities.

Kubotek Validation Tool™ assures manufacturers that two CAD models, even in two different native formats, that visually appear the same, truly are geometrically identical. Validation Tool performs a critical test for manufacturers that rely on the 3D model as the product specification and distribute models to suppliers.   back to top

DRL Tools, developed by DesignRule, significantly improves the usability and reduces the implementation time of SmarTeam PLM solutions by using pre-built enhancements to standard SmarTeam functionality. These pre-built enhancements simplify common changes to SmarTeam's out-of-the-box configuration.   back to top

RAND FT&A Extraction and First Article Inspection Utility
If your company routinely has to deal with Functional Tolerance and Annotation data embedded in CATIA V5 Parts or Products, RAND's FT&A Extraction and First Article Inspection Utility will make your design to manufacturing process much more efficient.   back to top

Simulayt's products help designers and engineers to integrate the design, analysis and manufacture of structures made from fiber reinforced materials to an unprecedented extent. By simulating the manufacture of these products, problems can be foreseen early in the development cycle and designs can be analyzed and improved to a greater extent within the available development budget.

Advanced Fiber Modeler (AFM)
Simulayt brings powerful fiber simulation capabilities proven over the past 15 years to the CATIA Composites Design solutions. With complete integration in the CATIA V5 environment, the Advanced Fiber Modeler (AFM) provides immediate access to advanced simulation technology.

Composites Link for CATIA V5
Composites Link for the CATIA V5 Composites Workbench allows designers and analysts to communicate effectively during the composites development process. This saves time, improves product quality and prevents costly errors.

Composites Modeler for Abaqus/CAE
Composites Modeler for Abaqus/CAE complements and extends the powerful new ply modeling features in Abaqus/CAE 6.7 by providing proven fiber simulation capabilities and advanced model building - all seamlessly integrated within Abaqus/CAE. Furthermore, direct integration with Simulayt’s Layup Pipeline allows direct linkage with Design and Manufacture functions across the enterprise.   back to top

CETOL6σ is a complete mechanical variation behavior management solution for total quality and product cost improvement programs. The software seamlessly integrates with CATIA V5 assisting design engineers in identifying critical areas of their assemblies and evaluates individual tolerance contributions to the overall assembly quality.   back to top

CATBLANK
CATBLANK provides CATIA users with a fast and accurate method for developing optimal blank shapes. CATBLANK accounts for material stretch and deformation. It is specifically designed for estimators, engineers, account managers, and tool and die designers.

CATFORM
CATFORM provides CATIA V5 users with fast formability analysis for evaluation and validation of stamped components. Formability analysis is based on component geometry and accounts for material properties, friction, and blankholder force. CATFORM determines if a component can be stamped consistently with minimum cost, while fulfilling all product performance requirements. CATFORM is fully integrated into Dassault Systèmes’ PLM environment.   back to top
