Dassault Systemes SA announced today the appointment of Jeff Ray as the chief executive of SolidWorks, the company's Concord-based unit.

Dassault of France and SolidWorks specialize in 3D and computer-aided design software and other products that companies can use to design products of their own and manage the product's lifecycle.

Ray joined SolidWorks in 2003 as chief operating officer, and he replaces John McEleney, who is "retiring to embrace personal opportunities," the company said.

McEleney will "remain closely linked to the company as a member of SolidWorks' board of directors and Dassault Systemes' global management team until the end of the year," the company said.
