SCATE to Port MVV Vision Analysis Software to CATIA V5

(Orion, MI – January 18, 2007) SCATE® Technologies, Inc. announced today that it has joined the Dassault Systèmes CAA V5 Adopter Program.

The agreement between SCATE® and Dassault Systèmes means that SCATE® will now be able to offer SCATE’s MVV® (Multi-Vector Vision) software and services suite to CATIA® V5 users. SCATE released MVV® in January 2006 for the NX® (previously Unigraphics®) CAD platform, and it has helped some corporations save well over $500 million by reducing design and development costs, and by creating cost avoidance opportunities. The agreement with Dassault Systèmes will dramatically increase the market opportunities for MVV® by making it available for the tremendously popular CATIA® V5 platform.

Multi-Vector Vision is used by organizations that have analysis and governmental reporting requirements for vision and obscuration studies such as cockpit/instrument panel visibility, angular forward vision, 3D visual mass, and day/night visibility. MVV® is revolutionary in that it “quantifies” and “ranks” various designs for their visual effectiveness in a completely virtual setting using SCATE’s trademarked VMU® (Visual Mass Unit) unit of measure. MVV® performs studies on raw computer-aided design (CAD) data, thus enabling the user to catch vision and ergonomic design flaws before they reach engineering and prototype phases, or worse… the production phase.

“By becoming a CAA V5 Adopter, SCATE has gained access to the complete CATIA® V5 development environment and all of the tools and support needed to ensure seamless integration with CATIA® V5” said Steve Sadler, SCATE® President and CEO. “While the NX® market is substantial, the CATIA® V5 market is far larger, and dramatically expands the potential customer base for MVV®” added Sadler.
