Dassault Systèmes and AITAC partner to accelerate the digital transition of the shipbuilding industry

Dassault Systèmes and AITAC are strengthening their long-standing collaboration to accelerate model-based design and approval in shipbuilding through the OCX eXchanger solution.

Dassault Systèmes announced that AITAC has become its official partner for the development, commercialization and deployment of OCX eXchanger. This solution enables the seamless exchange of Open Class 3D Exchange (OCX) compliant data within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for the Marine & Offshore industry.

The Value of the OCX Standard

The OCX standard has emerged as a key pillar of 3D model-based design approval. By allowing shipyards, designers and classification societies to directly exchange standardized structural data rather than traditional 2D drawings, this open format ensures faster design reviews, improved traceability and accelerated regulatory validations.

Complete Digital Continuity

OCX eXchanger directly connects 3D design to regulatory approval within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. By centralizing all information, this digital solution eliminates tedious manual processes while ensuring increased efficiency, quality and traceability.

For French shipyards and engineering companies, the adoption of this standardized exchange format will result in a drastic reduction in approval times, representing a major competitive advantage against international competition.
