3DEXPERIENCE

3DEXPERIENCE Platform for SOLIDWORKS Users

January 15, 2026

3DEXPERIENCE is explained as a cloud‑based platform that works alongside desktop SOLIDWORKS, letting you design locally while storing and managing data online. It provides revision history, access control and approval workflows to avoid file mix‑ups and ensure teams always work on the latest versions. Files can be uploaded manually or saved directly from SOLIDWORKS through the built‑in connector, which also supports part numbering, reserving ownership and releasing revisions. Dashboards offer custom views of data, tasks, team activity and embedded tools, while browser‑based apps cover project planning, markup, communication and design review. The platform removes server requirements, accelerates simulation through cloud computing and opens access to advanced analysis tools previously unavailable to SOLIDWORKS users
