When creating new revisions in the SOLIDWORKS My Session Task Pane, files will automatically be replaced with the new revision. However, when reference components are revised on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform after the assembly is downloaded, they still appear as the old revision in the Task Pane. This tutorial shows the various ways to update these components with different revisions.
Inside 3DEXPERIENCE, users have access to not only web apps, but locally installed apps such as SOLIDWORKS and CATIA. However, these locally installed apps are accessed similarly to how a user would access cloud apps - which can be confusing.
One of the biggest (and most common) challenges companies face is properly managing data and information. Whether it's siloed information or simply not knowing where to look, a reliable and secure data management process is essential. 3DEXPERIENCE 2023x is officially out and includes many data management improvements, including new tools, dashboards, and more.
The 3DEXPERIENCE Fluid Dynamics Engineer role (also referred to as FMK) is a high-power tool that allows the user to create, modify, and run Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The Fluid Dynamics Engineer role is a general-purpose CFD tool that works in the 3DEXPERIENCE environment, allowing users the benefits of cloud storage, cloud computing, and cloud collaboration.
Unlike familiar Windows folder-based systems, files on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform are not organized into folders but into a single collaborative space. There are many benefits to storing data in this manner, including faster retrieval, optimization of resources, and more. However, one of the side-effects is potentially problematic navigation to saved files.
So, you want to use 3DEXPERIENCE with parts modeled in SOLIDWORKS? This post covers how to import parts from SOLIDWORKS into 3DEXPERIENCE. Moving forward, we will assume the design is complete and ready to be imported to 3DEXPERIENCE for Simulation (i.e., no further work in SOLIDWORKS is needed).
3DEXPERIENCE Platform 2022x FD03 has some exciting new enhancements. Those featured in this article are some of my personal favorites; however, a complete list of updates can be found on the public platform.
A beam analysis represents structural members as 1D line elements, with a set of section properties applied to represent the beam’s stiffness. Users benefit from this analysis in a massive reduction in computation time, but downsides are larger assumptions (and thus less detailed results) and more manual setup time.
In this post, I highlight my favorite enhancements in the recent 2022X FD02 release of 3DEXPERIENCE. These are my personal favorites, but the complete list of 3DEXPERIENCE platform uodates can be found here. As a huge fan of customizing SOLIDWORKS to work for you, I am always on the lookout for ways to simplify my design process with quick UI changes. Most recently, there is a new Lifecycle and Collaboration category within the customization dialog.
