What is the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform?
Designing on the Cloud
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is a cloud-based environment that connects your product development process from design to manufacturing and delivery. Ideal for organizations of any size, as your organization and needs evolve, you can access a seamless portfolio of solutions to manage every aspect of your product lifecycle and help eliminate design bottlenecks.
Collaboration is Simpler Online
The platform provides a single source of truth so your teams can share data securely from anywhere. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform empowers organizations to collaborate in real-time from any device, connect with customers and suppliers, and track progress so you can deliver unrivaled products and customer experiences.
3DEXPERIENCE WORKS for 3D Design, Simulation, and Data & Lifecycle Management
3DEXPERIENCE WORKS is a portfolio of solutions combining the ease-of-use of SOLIDWORKS with the power and breadth of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
With 3DEXPERIENCE WORKS, your teams have access to powerful capabilities for design (SOLIDWORKS), simulation (SIMULIAworks), manufacturing (DELMIAworks) and product data and lifecycle management (ENOVIAworks). The portfolio enables you to extend your product development capabilities and solve new problems faster with detailed modeling.
3D Sculptor & 3D Creator
Intuitive Design in the Cloud
3D Sculptor: 3D Subdivision Modeling Online
3D Sculptor is a browser-based 3D subdivision modeling solution.
3D Sculptor complements SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD and enables industrial designers and engineers to create organically shaped, production-ready models faster and easier than with traditional 3D modeling parametric tools.
Built on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, 3D Sculptor seamlessly connects with SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD and 3D Creator.
3D Creator: Modeling Parametric Solids & Surfaces Online
3D Creator enables designers and engineers to model parametric solids and surfaces on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to convey conceptual design and detailed parts and assemblies.
Built on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, 3D Creator seamlessly connects with SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD and 3D Sculptor for an integrated design process.
SIMULIAworks
Industry-leading analysis tools offering complex analyses to validate your product designs
Advanced Simulation Capabilities in the Cloud
SIMULIAworks brings advanced simulation powered by the Abaqus Finite Element Analysis solver to SOLIDWORKS users. Built on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, the solution extends SOLIDWORKS Simulation through tight integration.
This enables you to conduct structural static, frequency, buckling, modal dynamic response, and structural-thermal analysis of parts and assemblies.
Data & Project Lifecycle Management
PLM in the Cloud
Plan, develop, and release your products seamlessly with the data and product lifecycle management solutions on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, helping you to improve productivity, collaboration and innovation.
Manage product designs and documentation directly from SOLIDWORKS while making your CAD data accessible on the cloud so you can easily share it with stakeholders. Enable your teams to manage projects in real time and perform lifecycle operations including revise, release, and lock / unlock.
ERP/MES Management in the Cloud
DELMIAWORKS ERP is an end-to-end management solution for manufacturing companies. Capturing and tracking all of your critical business processes, from design and engineering to shipping, in one place ensures the right components are available at the right time.
Collecting real-time data from your plant floor and across your organization in easy-to-understand dashboards gives your teams all the information needed to make critical business decisions. Engineering, finance, sales, purchasing, logistics, and manufacturing teams all work within DELMIAWORKS ERP. Direct integration to SOLIDWORKS and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform enables frictionless collaboration and communication among your teams.
