Nvidia and Dassault Systèmes combine digital twins and AI in industry world models

The companies want to ground AI models in science and engineering to grow industrial know-how.Nvidia is putting its AI infrastructure, models, and libraries together with virtual twin technology from 3D design software vendor Dassault Systèmes to build a shared architecture the companies describe as “science-validated industry world models.” It’s a deepening of their existing collaboration with “a shared long-term vision for how industrial AI will be built, validated and deployed at scale,” the companies said. Nvidia is multiplying its partnerships with developers of industrial design software. It recently expanded the integration options for its Omniverse development platform farther into physical AI applications, building the Omniverse libraries into Siemens Digital Twin Composer as well as integrating into products and services from Accenture, Microsoft, Ansys, Cadence, and others.World modelsDassault Systèmes CEO Pascal Daloz talked up the partnership’s potential for...

Top Stories Tamfitronics Credit: DoDWASHINGTON — U.S. defense officials said Oct. 29 the Pentagon is evaluating measures to address critical vulnerabilities in the defense industrial supply chain. This includes supply constraints in the space sector that are hampering the manufacturing of military satellites.“This is an incredibly important issue,” Carla Zeppieri, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Resilience, said during a Pentagon press briefing.“Single sources of supply is a problem across the industrial base,” noted Laura Taylor-Kale, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy.Zeppieri said risks tied to “single sources” and “fragile sources” of critical components in the defense supply chain are among the issues addressed in the newly released National Defense Industrial Strategy Implementation Plan.The unclassified version of the plan highlights measures to strengthen domestic manufacturing for defense purposes and increase supply...
