Science is all around us, coming faster into our lives than ever before in history, enriching our daily interactions and experiences. When science and innovation intersect, the future comes into focus. For the second year, Dassault Systemes is bringing global scientific innovators and industry leaders together to share, inspire, learn and discover the latest innovations and technologies addressing major trends influencing science today, during its Science in the Age of Experience “megatrends” event, taking place May 15-18 in Chicago. Conference themes include:
- Better Living Through Science – How to unlock the complexities of biological systems to uncover new therapeutics, proactive diagnostics, and enable integrative medicine.
- Multiphysics Scientific Discovery – Why physics-based virtual universes provide a new paradigm for discovery, questioning, learning, and knowledge generation.
- Sustainable Planet – Harmonizing science and nature to expand renewable energy sources, conserve non-renewables, and transform to a negative carbon footprint.
- Advancing Materials with Science – How new and intelligent materials provide undiscovered opportunity to build products that sustain, economize, optimize, and heal the world.
Advances in digital technology are transforming science into a dynamic multi-dimensional experience which is liberating human curiosity, freeing engineering creativity, and taking innovation to unprecedented levels. As we get closer to the Chicago event, we spoke with leaders from Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA and BIOVIA software brands to shed light on the impact of these trends, and how Dassault Systèmes is applying the power of its 3DEXPERIENCE platform to address major global scientific challenges today.
Bruce Engelmann, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, SIMULIA: The 3DEXPERIENCE platform enables scientists, engineers, and designers to collaborate and bring together all elements of our physical and virtual world integrating multiple disciplines and technologies as well as market insight within the creation process. It provides the required digital framework and the single source of truth that fosters and simplifies the discovery process from ideation over development, validation, engineering, and production.
Scott Berkey, CEO SIMULIA: With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, companies can gain the intelligence to utilize our natural resources with maximum efficiency, minimum cost and sustainable positive impact on the world we live in. By leveraging the digital virtual universe, users are able to innovate and optimize product creation by rethinking and redesigning the usage of resources within our constrained biosphere.
Reza Sadeghi, Chief Technology Officer, BIOVIA: The 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides automation and digital design technologies from nano-to macro-scale. It brings multi-physics and multi-dimensions together with intelligence and order to create new materials, processes, and products that have not been thinkable before. Neoteric materials and structures designed for a specific purpose and behavior can mimic nature to create products to sustainably impact nature, the environment and our lives.
Steven Levine, Ph.D., Sr. Director Virtual Human Modeling & Executive Director, Living Heart Project, Dassault Systèmes: The 3DEXPERIENCE platform allows science-based organizations to enable innovation by connecting products, therapies, with virtual and physical experiences through a digital enterprise environment. Great science alone does not improve lives, but technology based on great science does. Leveraging the value of digital continuity enables companies to rapidly develop and deliver on disruptive ideas, experience their most imaginative concepts before they even physically exist, and learn for the future.
