Dassault Systèmes is partnering with Nvidia to build an industrial AI platform that fuses Virtual Twin technology with Nvidia’s AI infrastructure to create scientifically validated industry World Models and intelligent virtual assistants on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Initial target industries include biology, materials science, engineering, and manufacturing, with use cases ranging from molecule discovery to production system optimization and autonomous manufacturing.

Industry and partner feedback highlights benefits: Bel Group cites power for product modeling and sustainability; OMRON envisions autonomous, digitally validated production systems; Lucid Motors expects faster concept-to-production with better predictive accuracy; NIAR notes accelerated compliance and sovereignty in aviation design and manufacturing.

The collaboration aims to accelerate infrastructure deployment through real-time design and simulation, with engineers working alongside AI-powered partnership teams and productivity gains discussed in optimistic terms.

Executives indicate robots will increasingly reason and operate autonomously in complex environments, enabling AI-driven learning and operation.

The event attracts about 4,000 global participants, including designers, engineers, and business leaders.

CEO statements emphasize AI-driven productivity gains and digitally designed deployments, while assuring that AI will augment rather than replace engineers, forming AI partnership teams.

Use cases include virtual validation of entire factories, deployment of manufacturing lines, optimization of process sequences, and real-time robotic coordination within a virtual twin of the facility.

Demonstrations will showcase virtual factory verification, line deployment, process optimization, and robot coordination in a virtual twin environment.

The partnership envisions speeding the full lifecycle of complex systems by testing and validating designs virtually before physical implementation, reducing risk and time to deployment.

Aura, the integrated AI suite, combines Assistive, Predictive, and Generative AI to streamline workflows and accelerate innovation for millions of SOLIDWORKS users.
