CST Studio Suite is the electromagnetic analysis software package, developed by SIMULIA, used to design, analyze, and optimize Electromagnetic Systems. This blog will provide step-by-step instructions explaining how to install CST Studio Suite with the Managed DSLS (Dassault Systèmes License Server) option.

3DEXPERIENCE World 2025 has come to a close and what a week we had in Houston! Let’s recap some of the key messages and announcements we heard during this year’s event. 2025 is a significant year for SOLIDWORKS as it marks 30 years since its initial release. This milestone was a common theme throughout the week  – celebrating SOLIDWORKS for where it has brought us and being excited about the growth and future of the CAD tool we know and love.

A common question I hear from 3DEXPERIENCE users is, “How can I see if a part or an assembly has any associated drawings?” Turns out there are many ways to get this information. In this blog, I’ll start with some simple methods and then move on to some that take a little more setup but are worth the effort.

SOLIDWORKS CAD Feb 20, 2025

If you’ve added a new license of SOLIDWORKS since July 1st, 2023, you’ve probably noticed that your SOLIDWORKS license also contains Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS. This license connects your SOLIDWORKS to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. A major benefit of the role is the ability to share SOLIDWORKS parts, assemblies, and drawings with other users without sharing the physical files or downloading large and complicated external software. The only requirement is a 3DEXPERIENCE ID login.

It is important to know what happens to SOLIDWORKS data when it is saved to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform or when it is updated for compatibility with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform as per the System Option > 3DEXPERIENCE Integration.

3DEXPERIENCE World 2025 is heading to Houston, TX, from February 23-26, and we are excited to be a part of it! As always, GoEngineer will host a Customer Appreciation Night and offer a variety of technical sessions led by our outstanding technical team. There will be many opportunities to learn, network, and have a great time. This guide will provide a brief preview of this year's event and give you a glimpse of what to expect.

SIMULATION Dec 02, 2024

Are you a SOLIDWORKS user ready to jump into simulation and start doing static analysis? There used to only be one tool for the job: SOLIDWORKS Simulation. Now there is a second option: 3DEXPERIENCE Structural Designer. So which should you choose? In this article, we’ll compare and contrast so you can make the right choice.

When 3DEXPERIENCE users face connection issues while launching Design with SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Connected, it is often due to a connection issue with the collaborative space. Common signs include blank login dialogs, blank MySession task pane, and specific error messages such as, ‘Unable to connect to 3DEXPERIENCE’ or ‘Failed to establish connection with 3DEXPERIENCE server.’ This article covers a few possible ways to resolve these connection issues.

SIMULATION Nov 01, 2024

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools like Abaqus/Explicit or the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform provide a fantastic solution if you’re looking to investigate your product’s performance in simulation before spending the resources to develop a physical prototype. But for those that adopt these tools, there can sometimes be the hurdle of material modeling and its influence on your simulation’s ability to predict reality. Using improper material properties can lead to drastically different conclusions in your FEA simulations if you’re not careful. Throughout this blog, we’ll demonstrate what might happen to you and your product should you skip over the time and effort required to develop a proper material model for your scenario.
