Welcome back to Stay Sharp in Digital Engineering with Razorleaf!

In this episode, hosts Juliann Grant and Jonathan Scott kick off a three-part series on Dassault Systèmes by sitting down with Bill DeVries, Vice President - North America Brands & Workforce of the Future. They discuss how Dassault Systèmes defines digital engineering, explore their unique value propositions like MODSIM and science-based virtual twins, and look at real-world success stories.

Guest Information:

Bill DeVries: Vice President - North America Brands & Workforce of the Future at Dassault Systèmes, leading brand sales, online engagement, cloud adoption, and the 3DEXPERIENCE EDU workforce of the future initiative.

Key Takeaways:

  • Digital Engineering Definition: The integration of physical and digital worlds to plan, design, simulate, and operate products using a single source of truth across the entire lifecycle.
  • Single Platform Architecture: Unlike competitors using point integrations and relational databases, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform utilizes a unified object-oriented data model for real-time live collaboration.
  • MODSIM: A unified modeling and simulation environment where engineers analyze physical behaviors like aerodynamics, stress, and thermodynamics directly inside the design environment.
  • Science-Based Virtual Twins: Moving beyond CAD into multi-scale physics and real-world operational feedback, highlighted by open-source initiatives like the Living Heart Project.
  • Customer Impact: An automotive manufacturer streamlined over 300 legacy systems onto the platform, reducing their development cycle by 12 months (33%) and rising 14 spots in J.D. Power initial quality ratings.
  • Future Outlook: Dassault is developing Gen 7 industrial AI and industry world models using domain-specific AI engines named AURA, LEO, and MARIE to advance human body and system virtual twins.
