There isn't a one-size-fits-all path to adoption; small organizations can have complex requirements, and larger organizations sometimes have basic requirements. However, there are common scenarios. Below are three common examples with guidance on how to approach adopting the 3DEXPERIENCE platform with SOLIDWORKS for managing your design data. Unless you or your company has previous experience of implementing the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, it is recommended that you work together with your SOLIDWORKS

IntroductionThis topic serves as a guide to achieving the successful adoption of the SOLIDWORKS PLM Standard role in managing an Engineering Bill of Materials and the product release process. This topic is primarily focused on the Engineering Release app, but it will also discuss complementary capabilities found in other supporting apps, where applicable. The following sections outline how to approach and structure the adoption process with key stakeholders. If you have any questions or require

IntroductionTo guarantee successful adoption of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, it’s important that SOLIDWORKS Design users can easily save, find and open their designs from day one. Most, if not all, will be currently using a folder structure to organize, their content, whether it be in a Windows file system or another PDM solution. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform's approach to organizing and consuming content is different. Instead of relying on folders, it’s based on leveraging the metadata related to

SOLIDWORKS Design Role Themed DashboardsUnderstanding how to easily navigate the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform in order to find and interact with your SOLIDWORKS designs is one of the most important areas for successful user adoption. When taking your first steps using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, it is strongly recommended that you utilise the ready-supplied SOLIDWORKS Design role-themed dashboard. When a SOLIDWORKS Design role is assigned to a user, a corresponding user dashboard of the same name is

IntroductionBefore saving any files from SOLIDWORKS Design to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, it is important that the SOLIDWORKS environment is configured to meet the customer’s requirements. A poorly configured environment can result in unexpected or unintended behaviour when using SOLIDWORKS Design. The following sections cover the key SOLIDWORKS configuration topics that need to be considered to ensure that you and your design team start on the right track from day one. These apply to both the

IntroductionOne of the primary reasons that businesses adopt the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is the ability it offers to formally manage the design release and revise processes. Having formal processes in place helps all stakeholders keep track of change at all times, and in many industries is a legal requirement. Without having a controlled process in place for releasing and revising designs, businesses can run the risk of releasing an out-of-date design to market or failing regulatory compliance.

IntroductionOne of the key benefits of adopting the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is that individual parts, assemblies, and drawings can be made to be clearly identifiable by all stakeholders. Implementing the right naming methodology for SOLIDWORKS Design content is important to ensure that not only can a design team easily identify items, but also potentially other people within an organisation, and external collaborators too. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides a scalable set of capabilities that

IntroductionNo matter whether your products consist of a small or a large number of components, during the design process its common practice that multiple people or teams will be responsible for creating and modifying different aspects of the design, and often at the same time. For customers who need to work concurrently on the same design, 3DEXPERIENCE, in combination with SOLIDWORKS Design, provides a managed design environment that enables all stakeholders to keep track of who is working on

IntroductionThe 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides design teams with an in-built set of capabilities for managing both the revisions and the lifecycle of a design. The requirement to manage the lifecycle of a design in a controlled and efficient manner is typically one of the primary reasons that a company chooses adopt the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Therefore, it’s important that your 3DEXPERIENCE platform environment is configured in the right way before any production work starts, in order to meet

IntroductionShare and Markup provides users with the ability to share their 3D designs with anyone, directly from SOLIDWORKS Design using the “Share” command on the Lifecycle and Collaboration tab. Note: This command is only available in SOLIDWORKS 2023 SP3 or later. The Share command is available to anyone using the SOLIDWORKS Design roles and the Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS role. However, the recipient of a file does not require any 3DEXPERIENCE role or SOLIDWORKS license to

IntroductionThe majority of companies, no matter how large or small, will need to share design content with an external stakeholder during the product development lifecycle. Scenarios can range from a single designer sharing SOLIDWORKS Design files with a toolmaker to a larger organisation sending packages of release drawings to multiple suppliers. The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform provides a range of different solutions for sharing design content with external collaborators, each one with its own use

IntroductionDeciding how SOLIDWORKS design content will be organized, who can access it, and when, is an important part of preparing the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for your first design-related activities. Controlling who in a company can access designs at different stages of the design process will ensure good governance by protecting intellectual property, and reduce or even eliminate the risk of the wrong version of a component being manufactured. This applies not only to large organizations

IntroductionData migration is an important topic to consider when adopting the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Migration of your data to 3DEXPERIENCE should be treated as a separate activity from training and must be planned accordingly. The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform is not an archiving solution. Attempting to move every SOLIDWORKS design going back years will only serve to use up your platform storage allowance. Instead, it’s recommended that, where possible, only required content should be moved to the

IntroductionThis topic serves as a guide to achieving the successful adoption of implementing a formal change process, which is a core value of the SOLIDWORKS PLM Professional role. This topic is primarily focused on the Change Governance and Change Execution apps, but will also discuss complementary capabilities found in other supporting apps, where applicable. The topic expands upon the capabilities discussed in the Formal Design Release and Revise section of this guide. The following sections

In this section of the guide, you will find detailed setup and onboarding recommendations for the following topics outlined in the customer scenarios.
