VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dassault Systmes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, DSY.PA) (Paris:DSY) today announced that its 3DEXPERIENCE platform was used to develop the high-performance boat Trimaran SVR-Lazartigue, which finished second in the 15th edition of the Transat Jacques Vabre sailing competition. On November 7, 2021 just three months after its initial launch into water the Trimaran SVR-Lazartigue left the starting line of the Transat Jacques Vabre in Normandy for its first offshore race, arriving in Martinique on November 23 after completing a 7,500-mile journey across the Atlantic.

Designed and assembled by MerConcept, which contracted the whole project, the Trimaran SVR-Lazartigue belongs to the new generation of flying boats in which aerodynamics is as important as hydrodynamics. The development of new technologies in all areas of design makes the Trimaran SVR-Lazartigue a unique and revolutionary boat.

In particular, MerConcept was able to benefit from the power of Dassault Systmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform, distributed by Dassault Systmes business partner CT Mer Forte. Using the platforms "Winning Bid for Sea" industry solution experience on the cloud, MerConcept created a virtual twin of the boat and performed high-fidelity simulations that enabled it to optimize the boats aerodynamics and significantly improve its performance. MerConcept used the "Sea Boat Builder" industry solution experience to carry out the design of the boats systems.

The efficiency of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform enabled us to significantly optimize our performance during the study and design phases, said Antoine Gautier, Trimaran SVR-Lazartigue Director, MerConcept.

With each new sailing race, we are able to witness new technical feats that enable boats of different classes to go faster, with unprecedented strength and resilience, said Franois-Xavier Dumez, Vice President, Marine & Offshore Industry, Dassault Systmes. Our 3DEXPERIENCE platform and the virtual world make these sophisticated technological advances possible. We warmly congratulate the Trimaran SVR-Lazartigue team and MerConcept on an impressive performance in their first offshore race.

As a business partner of Dassault Systmes, and the close partner of Franois Gabart and the MerConcept teams for many years, the CT engineering group and CT Mer Forte join Dassault Systmes in congratulating Franois and Tom Laperche for the excellent finish in this Transat Jacques Vabre 2021, said Denis Juhel, Director, CT Mer Forte.
