Generative AI can predict whether a plane takes off—but does it know why? Nicolas Cerisier, VP of 3DEXPERIENCE Platform R&amp;D at Dassault Systèmes, explains how industrial world models go beyond pattern recognition to embed the actual laws of physics, chemistry, and engineering. In this episode of the NVIDIA AI Podcast, he also breaks down Dassault&#x27;s three virtual companions (AURA, LEO, and MARIE), their 25-year collaboration with NVIDIA, and a stunning real-world use case: helping NIAR rebuild aircraft designs part by part, using AI.

NVIDIA AI Podcast

The agents can use the virtual twin as a gym to train themselves. So they can run millions of simulations or design experimentation and present to you, to the human, to the engineers, the proven solution.

Welcome to the NVIDIA AI Podcast. I'm Noah Kravitz. My guest is Nicolas Cerisier. Nicolas is Vice President of the 3D Experience Platform R&D for Dassault 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.

Nicolas Cerisier Thank you, Noah, and thank you for the invitation and this opportunity to be part of this podcast. Nicolas Cerisier Absolutely. The pleasure is ours. So maybe we can start with you telling the audience a little bit about Dassault Systems. Nicolas Cerisier 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 3D Experience Platform is. Nicolas Cerisier Okay. So, I'm Nicolas Cerisier. I joined Dassault Systems in 2004.

Nicolas Cerisier And I'm now the Vice President of 3D Experience Platform Research and Development. Nicolas Cerisier And you have to know that the 3D Experience Platform is really the foundation for our 12 brands at Dassault Systems. Nicolas Cerisier You know, I think the main brands, CATIA, SolidWorks, Simulia, etc. Nicolas Cerisier And if you don't know us, we enable our customers to imagine, design, simulate, build almost everything in the world.
