How Dassault Systèmes Is Building AI That Understands Physics - Ep. 296

The the agents, can use a virtual twin as a gym, to train themselves. So they can run, in fact, millions of simulations or design experimentation and present, present to you, to the to the human, to the engineer, the proven solution. Welcome to the NVIDIA AI podcast. I'm Noah Kravitz. My guest is Nicolas Saricier. Nicolas is vice president of the three d experience platform r and d for TESOL Systems. We're here to talk about the next generation of Agentic AI systems, including industry world models, virtual companions, and the systems that are driving them. Nicolas, welcome to the NVIDIA AI podcast. Thank you so much for taking the time to join us. Thank you, Noah, and thank you for for the invitation and this opportunity to to be part of this, of this podcast. Absolutely. The pleasure is ours. So maybe we can start with you telling the audience a little bit about Dassault Systemes. They have a long running partnership with NVIDIA. So you can speak to that a little and then also to what your role is, and what the three d experience platform is. Okay. So so I'm Nicolas Soizier. I joined Dassault Systemes in 2004, and I'm now the vice president of, Swedish Smart Platform, Research and Development. And you have to know that the Swedish Smart Platform is really the foundation for our 12 brands, at Dassault Systemes. You know, things as the main brands, CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, SIMULIA, etcetera. And if you don't know us, we enable our customers to imagine, design, simulate, build almost everything in the world. Cars, airplane, autonomous robots, furnitures, electronic device, therapeutics, med devices, etcetera. It's 400,000 customers, 45,000,000 users, 15,000,000 scientists and engineers all around the world using our solution every day. And in fact, we provide our customers the factories to create their virtual twins. And what is virtual twins? It's really the scientific, multidisciplinary, multi scale representation of the product you want to deliver. And in fact, we enable a product to be tested in the virtual world, in the real condition before anything exist in the real world. And so today, my focus leading the Solid X Platform is really to transform our platform architecture into an agentic platform. And in fact, this is our shift from a SaaS platform, SaaS architecture to an agent as a service platform, to to bring AI to all our customers. So much has happened in in the world of AI in the past few years. And generative AI, obviously, has been, you know, this touch point that set off large language models and reasoning, and now we're talking about agentic systems. So let's talk about these two terms, virtual companions and industry world models. And what do those mean, to Dassault and the Dassault world? How do you use them? And how are they different from the types of generative AI that people might be used to using for the past few years? Yeah. So let's …
