Industrial AI in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform
AI that combines industry knowledge, business context, and existing data—directly integrated into development and manufacturing processes.
With Virtual Companions, Dassault Systèmes has developed artificial intelligence specifically for industrial use cases: secure, purpose-built, and directly integrated into business and development processes. To highlight the difference from generic AI, Dassault Systèmes refers to Industrial AI—an AI that builds on industry knowledge, business context, and proven expertise.
The unique value is created directly within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Virtual Companions operate within applications such as CATIA, SIMULIA, DELMIA, and SOLIDWORKS based on the existing data model and understand the technical context of products, processes, and systems. There is no need to switch between different applications or export data to external AI systems.
This creates a new form of collaboration between humans and AI: Users not only access information but are also actively supported in decision-making, analysis, and development tasks. Knowledge becomes usable more quickly, processes are accelerated, and innovations can be implemented more efficiently.
In the 3DEXPERIENCE on Cloud, Virtual Companions form a central building block of the next generation of Virtual Twin Experiences. They help companies develop products faster, make better use of knowledge, and make informed decisions throughout the entire product lifecycle.
Virtual Companions: Specialized AI for Business, Engineering and Science
Each Virtual Companion has a clearly defined mission and supports users with expertise in its respective area of responsibility. Each Virtual Companion has a clearly defined mission:
AURA makes corporate knowledge quickly accessible. The Virtual Companion identifies relevant information, links content together, and helps users find the right experts within the company.
LEO supports engineers across various disciplines. From the design of individual components to the creation of assemblies and the development of complex system architectures, LEO helps engineers carry out development tasks more efficiently.
MARIE provides scientific knowledge for research and development. It supports engineers and scientists in analyzing complex issues and helps them make well-informed decisions based on scientific findings.
Flexible Use with Blue Tokens
Virtual Companions are accessed through Blue Tokens, Dassault Systèmes' usage-based licensing model. Companies can use AI features as needed and scale them flexibly.
Generative Experiences: AI Directly Integrated into the Engineering Process
Generative Experiences bring artificial intelligence directly into the applications of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. They leverage existing industry knowledge, business rules, and product data to assist users with recurring or complex tasks.
Rather than simply providing information, Generative Experiences help suggest solutions, accelerate workflows, and make development processes more efficient. These features are directly integrated into applications such as CATIA and operate within the existing enterprise context.
Creating assemblies is often one of the most time-consuming routine tasks in engineering. Especially when components contain little or no semantic information, connections, positions, and dependencies must be defined manually.
Watch the video to see how CATIA Generative Assembly recognizes relationships between parts and automates the creation of assemblies.

What are 3D UNIV+RSES?
With 3D UNIV+RSES, Dassault Systèmes is defining a new class of virtual worlds. They combine Virtual Twin Experiences, artificial intelligence, modeling, simulation, and real-world data in a secure and trustworthy environment.
Companies can virtually experience, simulate, and optimize products, processes, manufacturing systems, and entire value chains before implementing decisions in the real world. At the same time, intellectual property, corporate knowledge, and sensitive data remain protected at all times.
3D UNIV+RSES form the technological foundation of the Generative Economy—a vision that combines innovation, sustainability, and economic efficiency.
