Multi-CAD Collaboration on 3DEXPERIENCE | Going From CATIA to SOLIDWORKS

November 19, 2025

TriMech Solutions Consultant Dave Ramsey shows how a CATIA part file can be seamlessly brought into SOLIDWORKS when collaborating with 3DEXPERIENCE’s cloud-based data management tools. After saving a CATIA part file to the platform, Dave walks through finding that part in the SOLIDWORKS interface, inserting it into an assembly, and then managing that same assembly’s BOM structure in the platform’s web interface. 3DEXPERIENCE provides a flexible and practical environment for tackling complex projects where multiple CAD applications need to be employed.
