Dassault Systemes & NVIDIA Partner to Power Virtual Twins with AI

Dassault Systemes and NVIDIA announced a long-term partnership to build a powerful industrial AI platform for virtual twins that aims to transform how companies design, test, and run complex systems.

The deal, revealed at Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE World event, brings together Dassault’s virtual twin technology with NVIDIA’s advanced AI infrastructure, open models and high-performance software tools.

The new platform will create science-validated “industry world models” that simulate real-world systems before anything is built. This lets engineers and researchers see how products and processes behave under real conditions, speeding up innovation while cutting costs and risks across sectors like manufacturing, engineering, life sciences and materials research.

To support large-scale deployment, Dassault’s OUTSCALE cloud will run AI “factories” powered by NVIDIA tech, ensuring data privacy and intellectual property protection. NVIDIA will also use Dassault’s model-based systems engineering to design its own AI factory infrastructure beginning with its Rubin platform.

Executives say the industrial AI platform is more than a toolkit. It’s meant to be a foundation that lets businesses move beyond traditional predictive tools to systems grounded in physics and real-world data. The platform will bring together accelerated computing, virtual twin modeling and AI assistants inside Dassault’s 3DEXPERIENCE ecosystem.

Industry players including Bel Group, OMRON and Lucid highlighted how this collaboration could improve simulation capabilities, shorten development cycles, and boost manufacturing efficiency. The partnership marks a key step in embedding AI deeply into engineering and industrial workflows.
