SOLIDWORKS PDM: 3DEXPERIENCE & Pack XDI, the new ultimate solution
For SolidWorks PDM users who need to communicate files outside their company, particularly for manufacturing purposes, the use of 3DEXPERIENCE®facilitates these exchanges.
Define automatic rules in the PDM for publishing “approved” files to the 3DDrive (platform application). The files you want are then available in the Cloud to all the users you want, even when you’re on the move or abroad. It’s now possible to view 2D drawings and 3D parts without a CAD or eDrawing license.
What’s more, you can access the MarketPlace, the platform’s directory of service, manufacturing and standard parts suppliers. But you can also offer your services and win new customers!
3DEXPERIENCE®SOLIDWORKS will also enable you to better manageyour components in overhaul, cas d’emplois of your files and layouts. The platform will help you manageean the uniqueness and traceability of your data, and help you minimize errors.
In this article, we will explore the benefits of 3DEXPERIENCE®for data management.
Accessibility from your web browser
The aim of the 3DEXPERIENCE®platform is to simplify the use of your 3D CAD software. With this in mind, and in line with the development of 100% Cloud technology, Dassault Systèmes now offers access to your software via our web browser.
With your login and password, you can access your 3D data anywhere, on any device. For example, you can access, annotate and modify your parts anywhere, anytime.
You can also access the platform from your standard SOLIDWORKS pdm. In fact, the platform will be integrated into your software.
3DEXPERIENCE®has been designed and modeled to maximize the collaborative aspect of the platform. This applies to both “internal” and “external” collaborations.
In-house: 3DEXPERIENCE® is much more than a design and engineering tool. It’s the solution for your productivity gains. It allows your teams to divide up responsibilities, with direct links between initial tasks and the models created throughout the life of your projects. The platform facilitates collaboration with all your stakeholders.
With the platform, you’ll be able to manage your technical and commercial data in the form of information that can be used by all your teams, to foster innovation (in your processes) and improve product development in a fully connected cloud environment.
Collaboration via the solidworks solution enables version control, sharing of design information and rapid retrieval of design data, thus streamlining workflows.
- Collaborate and share SOLIDWORKS data and other products to inspire innovation
- Digitally connect stakeholders, suppliers and customers for secure collaboration at all times
- Create dashboards and communities to bring people and data together in one place to strengthen collaboration
- Easily share 3D models with CAD experts and non-experts so that everyone can use the designs
Secure storage & updating
Put aside maintenance contracts and switch to automatic updates!
Updated every three months, this eliminates the need for annual interviews for traditional licenses. This means you’ll always be working on the latest developments and won’t fall behind.
DassaultSystèmes guarantees the integrity of your backed-up data. Subscribing to 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS means freeing yourself from the financial, infrastructure and maintenance constraints associated with securing your data. The automatic backup and security of your work will give you peace of mind and save you money..
Saving in a collaborative space
Cloud storage will enable your teams to avoid the risk of getting out of sync on model revisions or assembly configurations, and focus instead on actual design work. Customized communities can also be created on the platform, allowing users to gather and share feedback, enabling decisions on next steps to be made more quickly.
We’ll be waiting for you with bated breath to provide you with innovative support that’s just right for you. 😊
