In this video we will install a 3DEXPERIENCE. SOLIDWORKS Connected. This is not to be confused with desktop SOLIDWORKS with the 3DEXPERIENCE add-in. To install the 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, a desktop installation of the same major version must not already be installed on this machine. For example 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS 2023 can be installed alongside SOLIDWORKS desktop 2022 or any prior version, but not SOLIDWORKS 2023. We begin by logging into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Let's click on the compass in the top left of the screen and browse to our roles and apps. As a designer, the platform administrator has allocated us the 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS role. Filtering out just the apps belonging to this role, we see SOLIDWORKS Connected. This will be the button we use to launch the software going forwards. For the first time, it prompts us to install. You may be prompted to download and install the 3DEXPERIENCE launcher if it hasn't been already. Click to download the 3DEXPERIENCE launcher and progress through the setup window. Once done, click continue in the web browser. After a short wait, another prompt will appear and this time we shall choose install all roles containing SOLIDWORKS Connected and the 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS Installer will appear. We recommend using the cloud eligibility check to ensure your hardware and connection is suitable for running cloud data management. Then click next. Check the installation location and Toolbox location before starting the install. The download and install are quite large, so we'll fast forward here. Once finished, restart your computer and log back into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The SOLIDWORKS connected app under the Compass will launch the software from here on. If you prefer, you can always create a desktop shortcut by clicking on the dropdown arrow next to the app icon and choosing ‘Create Desktop Shortcuts’.
