Our Core Technologies

This page showcases the core technology domains that power the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, including AI software, data science, CAD, simulation, PLM, MBSE, augmented reality and business process management. Together, these technologies give organizations the tools to imagine, design, simulate, manufacture and optimize products and systems across the entire lifecycle.

Each technology domain is designed to operate as part of an integrated ecosystem. CAD models can be enriched with simulation, lifecycle data can be governed through PLM, system behavior can be defined with MBSE and insights can be enhanced with AI and data science. All disciplines connect through the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, enabling unified workflows, real-time collaboration and digital continuity from concept to operation.

The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform provides the unified environment that brings all Dassault Systèmes technologies together. It connects people, data and processes within a single collaborative space where teams can model, simulate and manage products and operations with accuracy and efficiency. By eliminating silos and enabling Virtual Twin experiences, the platform accelerates decision-making and supports sustainable innovation.

Dassault Systèmes offers a comprehensive portfolio of software solutions that support every stage of the product, system and operations lifecycle. This includes CATIA for design and engineering, SOLIDWORKS for 3D design, SIMULIA for simulation, DELMIA for manufacturing and operations, ENOVIA for product lifecycle management, NETVIBES for data science and analytics, 3DEXCITE for visualization, BIOVIA for scientific discovery, MEDIDATA for clinical development and GEOVIA for modeling, simulating and optimizing natural resources and geology. All these solutions are unified through the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, ensuring digital continuity and collaborative innovation across disciplines and industries.

Dassault Systèmes supports sustainable innovation by enabling companies to design, simulate and optimize products, materials and systems with a focus on efficiency and environmental impact. Through Virtual Twin experiences, organizations can test scenarios, reduce prototypes, lower resource consumption and make informed decisions earlier in the lifecycle. The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform also provides tools for lifecycle assessment, circular economy strategies and responsible supply chain optimization — helping industries transition toward more sustainable, resilient and low-impact operations.

A Virtual Twin is a scientifically accurate digital representation of a product, process or system. Combined with real-world data, it allows teams to simulate behavior, test scenarios and make better decisions throughout the lifecycle. Virtual Twins reduce prototypes, improve sustainability, increase reliability and support continuous optimization — making them essential for modern innovation.
