3D Experience platform can be connected to the various CAD authoring tools. In this case will be using SolidWorks. This can be launched directly via web interface and choosing the app. Similarly, you can log into the 3D Experience platform within SolidWorks itself. Upon part creation directly access any company templates to ensure conformity across the design team. Model creation is a breeze. Captured with details in 2D sketches and use of a workflow specific commands from the toolbar, you have a full 3D model. Reference sketches and geometry can be created to ensure the design intent of a component has been captured. Any accompanying full dimension drawings can be created from 3D geometry. The flat patterns and bend tables created for fabrication purposes. Both the 3D CAD model and the 2D drawing, can be uploaded securely to the 3D Experience platform ready for collaboration and sharing with colleagues. Files can be added to bookmarks, quick data retrieval whilst working multiple projects. The file can be locked to ensure single ownership when editing. All lifecycle maturity can be accessed directly in the task pane. Progressing the component thorugh the design process. All accompanying metadata and properties from a geometry can be viewed and edited directly in the CAD software. All this rich data then can be accessed in the 3D Experience platform system in depth searching and other attribute filters. So there we have it. Running SolidWorks integrated for 3D Experience platform. We use revision managed templates and drawing boarders and required attributes and metadata and upload of a data to a platform, on a desired bookmark. Once in a revision manage environment, we can lock a file to a single user, work under change actions and push your file through the lifecycle as a design develops.
