simulation software targeted at mainstream designers," said Bertrand Sicot, CEO

from SIMPOE technology with products that run fully embedded inside of SolidWorks,
making plastics simulation-driven design a reality."

"I am extremely pleased with this partnership, which validates our advanced
technology by one of the major players in the 3D CAD world", said Alain DUBOIS,
SIMPOE's CEO and President. He continued "We will leverage our combined
strengths to bring plastics product designers and mold makers fast, accurate and
