HOUSTON, TX, Feb 4, 2026 – Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA have partnered to create a shared industrial architecture for mission-critical artificial intelligence. The initiative combines Dassault Systèmes’ Virtual Twin technologies with NVIDIA AI infrastructure, open models, and software libraries. The effort supports science-validated industry World Models and new workflows on the agentic 3DEXPERIENCE platform, including virtual companions for complex engineering and operational tasks.
“We are entering an era where artificial intelligence does not just predict or generate, but understands the real world. When AI is grounded in science, physics and validated industrial knowledge, it becomes a force multiplier for human ingenuity,” said Pascal Daloz, CEO of Dassault Systèmes. “Together with NVIDIA, we are building industry World Models that unite Virtual Twins and accelerated computing to help industry design, simulate and operate complex systems in biology, materials science, engineering and manufacturing with confidence. This partnership establishes a new foundation for industrial AI, one that is trustworthy by design and capable of scaling innovation across the generative economy.”
“Physical AI is the next frontier of artificial intelligence, grounded in the laws of the physical world,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Together with Dassault Systèmes, we’re uniting decades of industrial leadership with NVIDIA’s AI and Omniverse platforms to transform how millions of researchers, designers and engineers build the world’s largest industries.”
Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA Partner to Accelerate Every Industry
OUTSCALE, the cloud brand of Dassault Systèmes, is deploying AI factories to support its sustainable and sovereign cloud strategy. The facilities will use NVIDIA AI infrastructure across three continents and support AI model execution on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The deployment addresses data privacy, intellectual property protection, and data sovereignty requirements for Dassault Systèmes’ customers.
NVIDIA will use Dassault Systèmes’ model-based systems engineering (MBSE) to design AI factories. The work begins with the NVIDIA Rubin platform and feeds into the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint to support AI factory deployment.
This infrastructure will support Dassault Systèmes’ industrial Virtual Twins using NVIDIA open models and libraries across biology, materials science, engineering, and manufacturing.
- Advancing Biology and Materials Research: The NVIDIA BioNeMo platform combined with BIOVIA science-validated models will accelerate the discovery of new molecules.
- AI-Driven Design and Engineering: SIMULIA AI-based Virtual Twin Physics Behavior leveraging NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries and AI physics libraries empowers designers and engineers to predict instant outcomes.
- Virtual Twins for Every Factory: NVIDIA Omniverse physical AI libraries integrated into the DELMIA Virtual Twin of global production systems enable autonomous, software-defined production systems.
- Virtual Companions Supercharge Dassault Systèmes’ Users: The 3DEXPERIENCE agentic platform, combining NVIDIA AI technologies and NVIDIA Nemotron open models with Dassault Systèmes’ models, powers virtual companions to tap into industrial context, delivering trusted, actionable intelligence.
The partnership expands the existing partnership between Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA to define how industrial AI is designed, validated, and deployed. The approach combines Dassault Systèmes’ Virtual Twin Factories with NVIDIA AI technologies to support industrial applications across all industries.
Global Leaders Build the Future of Industry With Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA
“Bel Group is building a sustainable food future through responsible formulation and packaging. Through the NVIDIA-Dassault Systèmes collaboration, we gain the computational power to model and optimize our products at scale-accelerating innovation while delivering on our sustainability commitments,” said Cécile Béliot, CEO of Bel Group.
“To address the growing complexity of modern manufacturing, the industry must move toward fully autonomous and digitally validated production systems,” said Motohiro Yamanishi, president of Industrial Automation at OMRON. “By combining NVIDIA Physical AI frameworks with Dassault Systèmes’ Virtual Twin Factory and OMRON’s automation technologies, manufacturers can move from design to deployment with greater confidence and speed.”
“Lucid’s award-winning engineering and technology continues to set new standards in the automotive industry, and Dassault Systèmes remains a key partner, enabling us to stay at the forefront of vehicle and powertrain engineering,” said Vivek Attaluri, vice president of Vehicle Engineering at Lucid. “Agility, speed of innovation and rapid iteration are at the core of our work flows, and our exploration of Virtual Twin AI-based physics, powered by NVIDIA’s open-source physics informed AI models, has the potential to help our teams move from concept to production faster than ever before, without sacrificing predictive accuracy. We look forward to continued collaboration and leveraging these new tools to support Lucid’s future innovations.”
“NIAR empowers the next generation of aircraft. From asset digitization through design and manufacturing creation and validation, Virtual Twin technology introduces unparalleled capabilities and efficiency. Dassault Systèmes’ Virtual Companions for engineering, leveraging the 3DEXPERIENCE agentic platform using NVIDIA Nemotron open models and Dassault Systèmes Industry World Models, accelerate the by-design compliant synthesis of aircraft Virtual Twins. Using the platform to align the Virtual Twin to the means of compliance, reduces certification efforts while preserving sovereignty of the information,” said Shawn Ehrstein, director, Emerging Technologies and CAD/CAM, National Institute for Aviation Research, Wichita State University.
