AI-Powered Virtual Twin Experiences
Empower Your Organization by Connecting Data, Decisions and Operations
Unlocking the Full Potential of Your Most Valuable Asset: Data
Inflation, sustainability, supply chain disruptions and the competitive labor market are amongst the global concerns prompting businesses to do more with less. At Dassault Systèmes, we are convinced that data is the most valuable corporate asset. However, organizations have a hard time unlocking its full potential. The biggest hurdles to overcome include siloed, disparate and exponential amounts of data that are not readily accessible, making it difficult for organizations to make informed decisions.
A company’s most valuable intellectual property resides in its Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) data: 3D knowledge, CAD files and product configurations. A single CAD file is more than just a design — it contains the intelligence behind function, shape, and system integration.
Yet, this critical knowledge is difficult to reach and rarely accessible when it’s needed most. Why? Because PLM is more complex than ERP, HR, or supply chain systems.
AI-driven Virtual Twin on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform
To overcome these challenges, Dassault Systèmes brings data science and artificial intelligence to the collaborative 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, transforming PLM data into enterprise-wide knowledge. Acting as a robust PLM digital backbone, our AI-driven virtual twin experiences provide virtual companions that support users throughout the product lifecycle. This approach allows teams to manage product complexity and configurations, ensuring seamless continuity from the first concept to real-world in-service performance.
With AI-driven virtual twin experiences, organizations can:
- Align stakeholders with a common and understandable view, projecting and navigating knowledge on a dynamic virtual twin
- Explore unlimited what-if scenarios to anticipate impacts and mitigate risks
- Accelerate decision-making by combining PLM data with machine learning and generative AI

Addressing the Business Challenges of Diverse Industries
- Transportation & Mobility
- Aerospace & Defense
- Infrastructure, Energy & Materials
Transportation & Mobility
Competitive automotive manufacturers must navigate the challenges of balancing sustainability, regulatory requirements and inflation. The high volatility of raw material prices, due to armed conflicts, health crises, climate change, consumer demands and other global factors, complicates the task of aligning vehicle prices with the cost of their components, making it difficult to ensure a return on investment.
Renault Group uses Global Modular Architecture, an industry solution experience on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. It integrates the AI-driven Material Cost Intelligence solution, which helps teams to work together across the company, ensuring that design, engineering and quality KPIs are met while maximizing cost efficiency.
Aerospace & Defense
Amid rising volatility and disruptions to the global supply chain, it is essential for the aerospace industry to focus on: 1) cutting the cost of goods sold, 2) enhancing efficiencies, 3) speeding up time-to-market and 4) streamlining maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations.
Dassault Aviation has been using the Keep Them Operating solution to increase the availability of its fleet, maximizing usage and efficiency. It provides a single place for customer service, with consolidated access to ALL relevant data, real-time AI-driven customer service actions and best practices for resolution, as well as cross-organization collaboration enabling continuous fleet optimization.
Infrastructure, Energy & Materials
Thriving in today’s oil and gas industry requires unprecedented productivity, quality and efficiency – and it starts with the companies that build the infrastructure. To stay ahead, oil and gas companies need huge, complex capital facilities delivered not only to the highest quality, but also to increasingly aggressive budgets and schedules. In projects of this scale, even the smallest hitch in the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) process can cause major delays and budget overspend.
L&T Energy Hydrocarbon is a leading provider of EPC services for the energy industry, managing thousands of micro processes to deliver complex projects on tight schedules. It leveraged Capital-Intensive Project Intelligence, part of the Capital Facilities Information Excellence portfolio, to provide a collaborative virtual twin environment that connects the end-to-end EPC value chain. Through the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, it can integrate and track the progress of multiple projects while improving operational efficiency.
Key Capabilities of Virtual Twin Technology
- Virtual twin experiences empower businesses to develop and visualize virtual twins of products, processes, and operations by leveraging science-based modeling, simulation, data science and collaboration, ensuring a continuous feedback loop between the virtual and real worlds.
- Semantic AI & virtual companions: Bridge the gap between natural language and structured business concepts. Using built-in ontologies, our virtual companions support users throughout the lifecycle—helping teams navigate the digital backbone, analyze complex impacts and make informed decisions faster.
- Low-code / no-code analytics: Empower domain experts to analyze and visualize data without programming skills.
- Digital backbone continuity: Ensure a seamless thread from initial concept to in-service performance. Manage complex product configurations with AI-driven virtual companions that analyze impacts and accelerate decision-making across the entire lifecycle.
