(Reuters) - French software maker Dassault Systemes reported on Thursday a 6% rise in its first-quarter revenue supported by growth in its software business, however it was slightly below analyst estimates.

The company, which sells software for car makers, planemakers and industrial firms, posted revenue of 1.50 billion euros ($1.61 billion) in the first quarter, below the forecast of 1.51 billion euros expected by analysts in an LSEG poll.

Dassault Systemes confirmed its full-year targets.
