In 2024, 3D Sculptor (xShape) in 3DEXPERIENCE introduced a feature that allows users to create their own SubD primitives by Extrude or Revolve. While this may seem straightforward, this functionality can be applied in various scenarios that we will explore further.
With the power of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform comes a wealth of features and functionality, and with that, there are many nuances to the user interface that you may not have noticed. Once you know what to look for, you’ll discover some amazing features that you never knew you had.
As part of Dassault Systèmes' commitment to enhancing the security of your account, a new two-factor authentication (2FA) process is now required when accessing the DSx Client system. This update will improve security for customers and will require 2FA when accessing sensitive information, such as user data and serial numbers.
STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Data) is an open data format standard used in the CAD/CAM/CAE industry, that allows for the exchange of 3D model geometric (surface and wireframes) and product manufacturing information (PMI) between OEMs and suppliers. In this blog, we will take a closer look at the 3D model data exchange capabilities of the CATIA Extended STEP Interface (SXT) license for CATIA V5 or 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA. SXT is an add-on or shareable license.
Many new administrators and users of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform often have questions about Collaborative Spaces—specifically, their visibility settings and member permissions. While this can be confusing at first, the information and tables below will help you implement Collaborative Spaces effectively.
For some, the idea of designing products with an Excel spreadsheet may seem far-fetched. How can a spreadsheet have anything to do with the design process? A spreadsheet contains only rows and columns of data, right? There is no doubt that spreadsheet data will never replace feature-based geometric modeling. However, a spreadsheet can perfectly complement the parameterization of a part model where several configurations are anticipated. In this blog, we will explore the different Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA solutions that use a spreadsheet to simplify the creation and management of a group of similar parts, commonly called a component family.
Managing the members in your 3DEXPERIENCE Tenant is a common task. As employees leave and new hires join the company, the Platform Administrator must control users’ access to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. New members are added, assigned appropriate Roles, and given access to a Collaborative Space. Members who no longer need access are removed. This blog will go through the settings to add, remove, and manage members in 3DEXPERIENCE.
On the much-anticipated SOLIDWORKS Delivery Day, we got a rundown of the new features introduced in the latest functional delivery for 2025. If "functional delivery" is new to you, this is the cloud-enabled version of your typical "service pack" release. Enhancements like automatic drawing generation, updates to the user interface, improved file sharing options, and much more. Let's dive in and unpack the key takeaways for your benefit!
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is Dassault Systèmes' tool that brings the entire engineering and manufacturing workflow from conception to obsolescence under a single umbrella. The objective of the platform is to make the 3D model the source of truth for anything someone at a company needs to know or do about the product. This means there is a closed loop for every stage of product development. Specifications, concept models, prototypes, simulation results, manufacturing data, and so on are all linked to the same product model.
