BMW Group and Dassault Systèmes enter into partnership

Dassault Systèmes and the BMW Group are entering into a long-term strategic partnership to develop the BMW Group’s future engineering platform based on Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

In the automotive industry, the rapid introduction of sustainable and technologically advanced mobility solutions is crucial for market success. This partnership demonstrates the important role of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform in accelerating product development. The use of virtual twins promotes company-wide collaboration and data-based approaches help to manage the growing complexity in development.

“We will only optimize our engineering process if we think digital, work connected and rely on an integrated data. For the BMW Group the 3DEXPERIENCE platform will support this approach and help to reach a higher level of quality in our processes,” said Julien Hohenstein, Vice President Processes, Digitalization, Governance Idea to Offer at the BMW Group research and development.

The platform forms the heart of the BMW Group’s future product development environment. All departments are working on a virtual twin that can be adapted for the variants of each model. This simplifies component reuse, reduces complexity and shortens development time. The platform also enables seamless migration of existing IT solutions and expands the engineering platform to include disciplines such as modeling and simulation.

This partnership marks the next step in the long-standing collaboration between Dassault Systèmes and the BMW Group. Both companies are leveraging their collective expertise to drive innovation.

“BMW Group and Dassault Systèmes are technology-driven companies that are entering a new era of shared innovation to deliver best-in-class products,” said Laurence Montanari, Vice President, Transportation & Mobility Industry, Dassault Systèmes. “With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, BMW Group can rethink its engineering development process to deliver the most personalized and sustainable experiences to its customers.”
