A compass is a tool for navigation. A compass can orient you in the present and point you toward the future. Compasses were first used hundreds of years ago to help sailors find their way at sea. Today, Compass magazine is an award-winning thought leadership journal produced by Dassault Systèmes to explore the topics and trends driving business now and into the future.
Each year, our Compass team of editors and journalists create impactful content covering Dassault Systemès 11 different industries, as well as key areas such as design, manufacturing, science, society and sustainability, among others. In these stories, we showcase real world examples of the myriad ways in which virtual twins, simulation, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and other Dassault Systèmes products are shaping the future. Here, we’ve collected 10 stories that encapsulate Compass magazine’s coverage in 2021.
Imagine a renaissance in health care, driven by scientifically accurate 3D human models, that could increase efficiency, lower costs and improve care overall. Virtual models of the human heart, brain and lungs have advanced to the point where life sciences innovators now believe it is possible to create full virtual twins of the human body.
