Top-Down Architecture
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides a unified interface that allows designers to easily use components to create parts, assemblies, and sub-assemblies. Important design history is automatically captured as you work, allowing you to roll back the design history and make changes when needed.
SOLIDWORKS Connector
With the SOLIDWORKS Connector, engineers using SOLIDWORKS desktop can access tools on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Native SOLIDWORKS files can be uploaded to the platform for review and collaboration, then brought back to SOLIDWORKS through the connector for native design changes. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides your team with a single location to share data and collaborate on projects seamlessly without the need for expensive IT infrastructure.
