Bernard Charlès, Dassault Systèmes’ Vice Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer commented:

“The world, economy and society are transforming at an unprecedented pace: we are playing a critical role in these transformations and empowering our clients to solve their greatest challenges – from resiliency to sustainability.

Science-based virtual twin experiences are perfectly designed to support these transformations and the resiliency and sustainability required for today and tomorrow’s leadership. By combining a multi-scale, multi-physics approach with embedded analytics and real world evidence, virtual twin experiences are a catalyst for sustainable innovation – to imagine and test new materials, new processes, new solutions and new usages.

We have recently introduced the Life Cycle Assessment Solution on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to transform the sustainable innovation process. Combining virtual twin technology and life cycle assessment capabilities offers new ways to establish sustainability requirements early on, and measure the sustainability of decisions before implementing them.

It’s clear we walk the talk: this new solution is a major advancement towards our purpose to harmonize product, nature and life. By leveraging the virtual worlds to extend and improve the real world, together we can drive meaningful progress towards a more sustainable and harmonious future.
