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.

CST Studio Suite Aug 05, 2025

Desktop CST Studio Suite users need not be limited by their local computing resources for saving, solving, and viewing simulations. By adding one supplementary license to their CST, they can save, organize, and run their simulations on 3DEXPERIENCE cloud HPC resources. The 3DEXPERIENCE All-Physics Analyst role is a “cloud enabler” for desktop SIMULIA users, whether they’re using CST Studio Suite, Abaqus, or a handful of other traditional CAE tools.

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.

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.
