3DEXPERIENCE DraftSight
Professional-grade desktop DWG CAD in a cloud PLM environment
2D and 3D Cloud Design
3DEXPERIENCE DraftSight is a professional-grade desktop DWG CAD solution you can use anywhere.
Login to the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform from the web on any PC to download and launch a full DraftSight installation that saves and manages your CAD data in the cloud, with integrated PLM functionality so that you can easily collaborate with other team members.
No fixed licenses, no database servers, no VPNs, just efficient design and engineering from anywhere.
“We chose a
3D
EXPERIENCE Works Simulation solution because it’s cloud-based, which supports our remotely located engineering organization, works seamlessly with SOLIDWORKS design data, and incorporates the Abaqus Explicit solver, which is best suited for the types of simulation studies that we need to conduct on our parts, which can involve hyperelasticity, creep, fatigue, and contact.”
– Thomas Morgan
Design Engineer
