The simple version of Solidworks PDM is server based not web based so does not meet our needs for students working from home, and their advanced PDM is expensive and much too complicated for our use. I don’t know if there is a way to use their cloud systems for desktop applications, it is not in their advertised literature. Perhaps others have tried it more recently and have more positive experience, I was enthusiastic to try it but found it was really not ready for FRC or industry use. I was quite surprised at how unpolished it all was given how central this is to Dassault’s CAD future, and the existence of Onshape. Also existing Solidworks files could not be imported other than by STEP file, giving it no inherent database advantage over a switch to Onshape. Unfortunately I also found it buggy (freezing), file management awkward at best, documentation and support poor, and difficult to navigate the set of modules to go from part to assembly to drawing (never really got drawings working and couldn’t apply our templates. In general it was a primitive UI compared to up to date Solidworks and involved more “clicking”. The usability was kind of like Solidworks versions 20 years ago, for instance everything needed to start as a sketch and then apply the feature rather than doing it in one step. It was manageable for making simple part models and assemblies, and tested loading a reasonably large assembly on poorly spec’d computer that would otherwise have struggled with Solidworks, so all that was good. Echoing others responses, found it a bit different from the Solidworks UI (first thing to realize is that it is not Solidworks, but based on a different kernel that looks somewhat similar to Solidworks). This site includes each xWorks episode with technical demos, superhero bios, wallpaper downloads, a superhero personality test, and technical deeper dives into each role included within the latest SOLIDWORKS Cloud Offer.īe sure to subscribe to our SOLIDWORKS YouTube channel for more livestream content, and check out more information on previous and upcoming streams.I tested 3D Experience last offseason. You can follow the xWorks superheroes on. These apps are constantly updated throughout the year, often based on user feedback, with multiple functional deliveries (FDs) featuring new capabilities. Finally, Brad talks a bit about some of the other apps available as part of the SOLIDWORKS Cloud Offer, such as xSheetMetal. With 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, you get access to SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD connected to the cloud.

Brad notes that xDesign and xShape also come with 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS (with 3D Creator at all levels, and 3D Sculptor available within Professional and Premium). The apps are also modular, so you can buy only what you need. Communication, collaboration, and task management tools are also accessible from the cloud-based platform.īrad also discusses why the SOLIDWORKS Cloud Offer is a logical way to bundle all the most common tools a designer or engineer needs. He accesses all his data via his PC, tablet, or smartphone when he travels. Jordon also extols the virtues of the touch interface and the fact that xShape models can be used downstream since you can automatically convert subdivision surfaces to NURBS geometry.īrad shares his real-life example of the importance and ease of the cloud for collaboration. XShape enables you to quickly create highly stylized, curvature continuous (C2) designs while leveraging subdivision modeling technology in an environment that makes concept modeling as easy as pushing and pulling shapes, just like with a clay model or Play-Doh.
Just add geometry where needed and keep moving forward.
XDESIGN SUBTERRANEAN AVENUE NETWORK HOW TO
Eliminate decisions about what features to create first or how to structure the feature tree. Jordan demonstrates how there is no better tool than xShape, which is part of the 3D Sculptor role, for conceptualizing an idea from scratch. Gian also talks about Super Features, the flexibility of the single modeling environment, and the benefit of built-in revision management controls on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. And, because xDesign is in the cloud, it enables collaboration with your entire team.īe sure to watch the video of Gian’s favorite features, including Design Assistant, which leverages built-in AI that predicts the best logical next step to speed up subsequent actions.
With xDesign, part of the 3D Creator role, our R&D team reimagined the traditional workflows in parametric design. Gian describes how xDesign functions as a core parametric capability for parts and assemblies.
