3DEXPERIENCE CLOUD CAD
Browser-based 3D CAD & PDM from the makers of SOLIDWORKS
Powerful 3D Design Tools
From the team that brought you SOLIDWORKS comes the next generation of design tools, in-browser and cloud-connected.
3DEXPERIENCE CLOUD CAD is a portfolio of 3D CAD apps that run entirely in your web browser, meaning you can access them from any 3D-enabled device with an internet connection. And thanks to the cloud nature of your design data, it’s all stored in one unified cloud environment where you can seamlessly take advantage of 3DEXPERIENCE’s data and lifecycle management, simulation, manufacturing, and rendering tools and get to market faster than ever.
“We chose a
3D
EXPERIENCE Works Simulation solution because it’s cloud-based, which supports our remotely located engineering organization, works seamlessly with SOLIDWORKS design data, and incorporates the Abaqus Explicit solver, which is best suited for the types of simulation studies that we need to conduct on our parts, which can involve hyperelasticity, creep, fatigue, and contact.”
– Thomas Morgan
Design Engineer
