In 1965, he graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace. He entered in Dassault Aviation in 1967 as an engineer in Theoretical Aerodynamics. He specialized in the theoretical engineer- ing and construction of aircrafts. There, he invented the CAD/CAM, from which CATIA was brought to light in 1977 – the first 3D application of its kind. For his inven- tion, Mr. Bernard was prized by the French Academie Nationale de l’Air et de l’Espace, by the Aviation Week & Space Technology journal, and also by the US National Air & Space museum. To push the development/enhancement of CATIA, Francis founded Dassault Syst¢mes (DS) (as a sister com- pany of Dassault Aviation) and became its first President. Under his leadership DS made a Partnership Agreement with IBM for the sales and the support of CATIA world- wide. In 1995, Mr. Bernard became the Executive Adviser to the new President of DS, and Member of the company’s Executive Committee. As part of his responsibilities, he is in charge of the marketing and the business development of DS in Developing Countries and in Emerging Markets, as well as for new technologies. 2005, Francis Bernard, amongst other duties, DS will pay a specific attention to shipbuilding.
