Defense organizations are under increasing pressure to modernize faster, validate earlier, and deliver mission-ready capabilities in increasingly complex, contested, and multi-domain environments. Rising defense investment, the transition to connected system-of-systems architectures, and the demand for sovereign digital engineering are driving the need for integrated simulation environments that connect systems engineering, design, validation, testing, and operations across the entire lifecycle. At the same time, many programs continue to struggle with disconnected models and siloed workflows, making it difficult to maintain a consistent digital thread and efficiently manage growing system complexity.
Dassault Systèmes addresses this need directly. Through AI-powered Virtual Twin Experiences on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, defense organizations can make MBSE the backbone of their digital engineering strategy — connecting it with MODSIM, multiphysics simulation, lifecycle traceability, and operational readiness across air, sea, land, space, and cyber programs. This approach helps programs move beyond isolated engineering challenges toward broader platform, mission, and operational outcomes, reducing physical test risk, accelerating readiness, and strengthening mission assurance.
At the core of this approach, SIMULIA provides advanced multiphysics simulation capabilities. PowerFLOW's Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM)-based CFD technology delivers fast, accurate prediction of complex aerodynamic flows, while CST Studio Suite enables high-fidelity electromagnetic simulation for radar, communications, electronic warfare, stealth, EMC, and electromagnetic resilience. Together with MODSIM processes, these capabilities help organizations maintain a continuous digital thread, improve cross-discipline collaboration, and strengthen confidence in mission readiness.
