[Explore CAE Solutions](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/solutions/cae.md)

## Objective

Dassault Systèmes is combining its [Virtual Twin](https://www.3ds.com/virtual-twin) technologies with NVIDIA AI infrastructure, open models and AI physics and Omniverse libraries to establish science-validated Industry World Models, and new ways of working through skilled virtual companions on the agentic 3DEXPERIENCE platform, that empower professionals with new expertise.

At Wichita State University’s National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR), this approach supports aircraft virtual-twin workflows that bring simulation and compliance considerations earlier into the design process.

Lucid Motors is exploring virtual twins of their vehicles with multiphysics simulation models powered by NVIDIA physics-informed AI models to help move from concept to production faster without sacrificing predictive accuracy.

## Industrial AI Transforms with AI Physics

GPU acceleration has already helped engineering teams speed up traditional simulation workflows. AI physics takes simulation further by using open models and models trained on physics-based data to help predict outcomes in near real time, enabling engineers to explore more design options earlier.

Dassault Systèmes is applying this capability inside virtual twin workflows, its science-based approach to [digital twins](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/glossary/digital-twin.md) that connects 3D models, simulation, engineering data, and domain expertise. [NVIDIA CUDA-X](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/technologies/cuda-x.md) and AI physics libraries along with [NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo](https://developer.nvidia.com/physicsnemo) help accelerate AI-enabled simulation workflows across Dassault Systèmes portfolio, while [NVIDIA Omniverse](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/omniverse.md) technologies provide libraries and microservices for industrial virtual twins and AI simulation applications.

## AI Physics Brings Speed to Trusted Simulation

SIMULIA is the Dassault Systèmes' brand that delivers multiphysics, multiscale simulation analysis, integrated in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Its proven simulation capabilities enable designers and engineers to explore and validate how materials, components, and complex engineered systems perform under real-world conditions. Through its collaboration with NVIDIA, Dassault Systèmes is integrating NVIDIA [CUDA-X](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/technologies/cuda-x.md) and AI physics libraries into SIMULIA AI-driven Virtual Twin of Physics Behavior to accurately predict physics-based outcomes to improve product performance.

The Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA partnership is significantly accelerating physics simulation enabling reliable results to drive design-decisions earlier in the development process.

## Virtual Twins Accelerate Aerospace and Automotive Workflows

Customer examples show how Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA technologies can support complex engineering workflows across aerospace and automotive development.

Wichita State University’s National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) is using Dassault Systèmes Virtual Twins and AI-driven Virtual Companions and [NVIDIA Nemotron open models](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/ai-data-science/foundation-models/nemotron.md), to accelerate aircraft design, testing, and certification. Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE agentic platform supports compliance by design and moves conformity checks earlier in the process.

## Scaling Industrial AI Across Engineering Workflows

Combining Dassault Systèmes’ Virtual Twin technologies with NVIDIA AI infrastructure, open models and accelerated software libraries will establish science-validated industry [World Models](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/glossary/world-models.md), and new ways of working through skilled AI-driven Virtual Companions on the agentic 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This helps engineering teams bring simulation, compliance, manufacturability, and optimization earlier in the product development process. The result is a path toward faster engineering decisions grounded in trusted physics, validated knowledge, and industrial context.

The Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA collaboration in simulation and certification is part of a broader [partnership](http://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/dassault-systemes-nvidia-industrial-ai) spanning AI-driven Virtual Companions, biology and materials research, Virtual Twins for factories, and AI-driven Physics. Together, this partnership will redefine how [industrial AI](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/glossary/industrial-ai.md) will be built and applied in the years ahead.
