Dassault Systèmes Introduces AI Assistants for Engineers: A New Era for 3DEXPERIENCE

Dassault Systèmes Introduces AI Assistants for Engineers: A New Era for 3DEXPERIENCE

What Are Virtual Companions and How Are They Different from Traditional AI

Virtual Companions are AI assistants embedded directly into 3DEXPERIENCE. Unlike generic AI chatbots, they understand engineering context and operate on real project data, CAD models, requirements, and simulations.

• Role-based specialization — dedicated AI tailored for engineers, researchers, and executives.
• Context awareness — understanding constraints, requirements, and industry-specific considerations.
• Workflow integration — assistance delivered directly within the 3DEXPERIENCE environment.
• RAG technology — responses generated from verified enterprise data, reducing risk and improving reliability.

How AI Supports Engineers and Businesses

Virtual Companions go beyond answering questions — they actively support decision-making:

• Design optimization — recommendations for improving CAD models.
• Simulation analysis — rapid interpretation of SIMULIA results.
• Requirements alignment — balancing technical and business constraints.
• Regulatory support — guidance on standards and documentation.

This signals a shift from traditional design tools toward intelligent digital partners that support professionals throughout the product lifecycle.

What This Means for SolidWorks and 3DEXPERIENCE Users

For companies using SolidWorks and 3DEXPERIENCE Works, Virtual Companions provide:

• faster access to engineering knowledge and project data;
• reduced time spent analyzing complex information;
• fewer errors through contextual AI guidance;
• improved cross-disciplinary collaboration.

AI is rapidly becoming the next evolutionary layer of CAD and PLM systems — moving from 3D modeling toward comprehensive digital twin and lifecycle intelligence.

AI in Industrial Software: A Strategic Trend

The engineering software market is rapidly integrating artificial intelligence. Dassault Systèmes is focusing on deep AI integration within 3DEXPERIENCE — aligned with industry context, enterprise data, and real business processes.

This marks a new model of work where engineers and AI operate as a unified team.

For engineering-driven organizations, this represents a move toward more autonomous and data-informed product development.
