Nvidia partners with Dassault Systèmes to boost industrial AI via Digital Twins and

Nvidia’s Omniverse platform will be woven directly into Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE suite, creating a unified environment where engineers can build, train and deploy AI‑powered digital twins at scale. According to the joint announcement released by both companies, the integration will let manufacturers import real‑time sensor data into high‑fidelity simulations, then use Nvidia’s AI‑accelerated inference to predict equipment behavior, optimize processes and reduce downtime. The partnership is positioned as a “turnkey” solution for sectors ranging from aerospace to heavy‑industry, where the cost of physical prototyping remains prohibitive.

The collaboration leverages Nvidia’s RTX‑based GPUs and its CUDA‑optimized AI libraries to accelerate the computationally intensive tasks that underpin digital‑twin workflows. Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE already provides a cloud‑native PLM backbone; by embedding Omniverse’s physics engine and collaborative metaverse tools, the combined offering promises sub‑second simulation updates as new data streams in. “We’re essentially giving engineers a live, AI‑enhanced mirror of their assets,” the press release notes, adding that the solution will support both on‑premise and hybrid cloud deployments to meet the security requirements of regulated industries.

Industry analysts see the move as a response to growing demand for AI‑driven operational intelligence. Bloomberg’s coverage of the announcement highlighted the timing, noting that “the race to embed AI into the core of manufacturing is heating up as companies seek to recover from supply‑chain shocks.” While Bloomberg did not provide specific financial terms, the report suggests that the partnership could unlock new revenue streams for both firms by bundling hardware, software and services into a single subscription model.

Dassault Systèmes’ CEO emphasized that the joint effort will shorten product‑development cycles by up to 30 percent, a claim derived from internal pilot projects that used Omniverse to simulate turbine blade stress under varying load conditions. Nvidia’s CEO echoed the sentiment, pointing to the platform’s ability to run billions of AI inference operations per second, a capability that “makes real‑time decision‑making feasible on a factory floor.” Both executives framed the partnership as a strategic step toward “industrial AI at the edge,” where AI models trained in the cloud can be deployed directly onto Nvidia‑powered edge devices for instant feedback.

The rollout will begin with a beta program targeting key customers in automotive, aerospace and energy, according to the joint statement. Early adopters will receive access to a sandbox environment that includes pre‑built digital‑twin templates, Nvidia’s AI‑model zoo and Dassault Systèmes’ data‑management tools. The companies plan to expand the offering later in the year to include support for autonomous robotics and predictive maintenance services, signaling a broader ambition to make AI‑infused digital twins the default design paradigm for heavy‑industry manufacturers.
