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.
