CATIA V5 (desktop-based) and 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA (platform and cloud-based), are top-of-industry CAD tools developed by Dassault Systèmes. CATIA's history with automotive and aerospace has made it especially suitable for certain design and manufacturing situations that are becoming more prevalent in other industries that may tend toward different CAD solutions. In this blog, see why many designers choose to supplement their current design solution with an upgrade to CATIA. We'll cover functionalities CATIA is known for, including the handling of large assemblies, surfacing, systems engineering, and composites, while touching on some additional capabilities.
3DEXPERIENCE offers extra security options to further lock down your platform beyond username and password. One common method is to enable 2-factor authentication, which requires you to log in and use a mobile app to generate a unique code. This code needs to be entered along with your password to provide an extra layer of security. In this tutorial, we'll walk through the 3DEXPERIENCE 2-Factor Authenticator setup.
In a previous blog, we discussed how to access the history of a file in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform using the Collaboration & Approvals app. Until the April 2024 FD2.0 update, this was the only way to see this information on a file. It's now even easier to view these details (and with a lot more information) with the new History tab in the information window.
Many CATIA V5 users are transitioning to 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA for its collaborative features, cloud database, and live updates. This article highlights some of the key advantages of 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA.
Many companies move from CATIA V5 to 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA because of its powerful collaborative features, cloud database, and live updates. In this article, we review some helpful tips when transitioning to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and highlight features that will make your life as a designer easier.
As a SOLIDWORKS or CATIA company, making the correct design decisions while juggling a stack of competing requirements is hard. Luckily, there's a cloud-powered design optimization tool to exhaustively and realistically simulate thousands of variants at once, ensuring your product is the best it can be: The Multidisciplinary Optimization Engineer role on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.
The word “generative” has certainly risen in popularity over the last couple of years. Most people probably jump to “generative AI”, which is usually understood to mean sitting in front of a computer, making a relatively simple request (often a text prompt), and – with no direct involvement in the generation process – receiving a complete output that matches that request, be it a piece of writing, an image, a song, or even a video. But what about in the design and engineering world?
In 3DEXPERIENCE, a dashboard displays content and resources for any topic or activity you are a part of in your company. Every dashboard is made up of Tabs that contain Widgets/Apps that are used to perform different tasks. The Widgets/Apps listed in each of these tabs depend on what Roles you have access to.
The year's largest SOLIDWORKS event has come to a close! What did you miss at 3DEXPERIENCE World 2024? Here's our recap of the notable announcements, highlights, and stories from this year's event in Dallas. We hope next year you'll join us in Houston, Texas for 3DEXPERIENCE World 2025.
