3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS (SOLIDWORKS Connected) and the Design with SOLIDWORKS add-in can be uninstalled directly from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This guide outlines the process.
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools for collaborative product development. Among these tools, 3DDrive and 3DSpace stand out as essential applications for file storage and management. While they may seem similar at first glance, each serves a distinct purpose and caters to different user needs within the platform.
When troubleshooting SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE, it's important to acquire as much information, both from the user and from inner components within the software, as possible. For SOLIDWORKS, a problem capture provides information deep within the program, which is needed for both GoEngineer and SOLIDWORKS techs to investigate. In 3DEXPERIENCE, with multiple applications located on a browser, it can be difficult to locate where an issue hides. Fortunately, there is a program designed to capture all internal information from a browser (similar to the SOLIDWORKS Rx problem capture), called the TroubleShooting Machine, or TSM for short.
In the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, Thumbnail is a useful column that can be added to the Bookmark Editor app. Since the July 2025 platform update, adding this column, as well as many others, to the Bookmark Editor has changed slightly. So, let’s look at how to add these special columns.
GoEngineer's simulation team can best be demonstrated by introducing some of the individual members. If your company needs simulation support, these are among the people ready to assist you.
If your company uses 3DEXPERIENCE, you’ve likely encountered the 3DEXPERIENCE login box in SOLIDWORKS. Whether you’re new to cloud-connected tools or just want to understand the basics, this post will walk you through how to log in, how to log out, and what the Remember Me checkbox actually does.
Engineering and design education often requires managing complex projects, balancing student needs, organizing file structures, and ensuring proper assessment workflows—all while delivering impactful lessons that prepare students for their future careers. If you’re an educator seeking tools to streamline these tasks, there’s good news: the 3DEXPERIENCE for Education platform is here to empower your teaching practice and save you valuable time.
Let’s look at a major time-saver - using the Engineering Release app in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to change/add properties (metadata) to parts and assemblies that have already been saved to the platform. The Engineering Release app is included with the Product Release Engineer role. This is a role that can be added to your platform for certain users who need it. This role is considered the “BOM Release/Management” role, and its main purpose is to manage product definition from the early stages all the way to final validation.
If you're looking to go beyond the standard attribute options available in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, you're in the right place. In this post, we'll walk through the proper steps to create a custom attribute within the Physical Products tab, the most commonly used area for attribute creation.
