3DEXPERIENCE R2022x- FD02

 

xApps (xDesign, xShape etc.)

xDesign

  • 3D Printing an Assembly
    For 3D-Printing an assembly​​​​​, automatically arrange the components of your assembly on a build plate (No need to arrange components manually). Also, quickly exclude unwanted components from printing, and rotate and move the components in the envelope using the robot.
  • Quick & Easy App Switching
    To boost efficiency in using multiple xApps, App switching is now available directly on the Home Page, with which you can switch between all the available xApps.
    For example, you can now use xDesign widget as all-in-one, and within its window switch to xShape.
  • Sketch Patterns
    You can now use sketch pattern (Circular Sketch Pattern & Linear Sketch Pattern) to accelerate creation of complex designs. Previously only Feature Pattern was available.

xShape

  • Avoid Accidental Modification During Manipulation:
    You can now Freeze a portion of a model while in edit mode, to ensure editing of desired portion only. This ensures that no unwanted change on frozen portion, during designing.
  • Use more commands in xShape: 
    Use Fillet, Chamfer to smoothen sharp edges within xShape, instead of having to switch to xDesign, which improves productivity.
    Copy with Mates is also now available.
  • Quickly Select Elements:
    Select the components by easily drawing around them in the work area using Lasso Selection tool.

SOLIDWORKS

 

SOLIDWORKS Connected / SOLIDWORKS with connector

  • Flexible assemblies created in SOLIDWORKS are supported in 3DEXPERIENCE authoring apps i.e. xDesign, xShape, etc. As we create big assembly and specify subassemblies as Flexible one’s in SOLIDWORKS, it acts as same when we import it in 3DEXPERIENCE Platform apps.
  • Now 3DEXPERIENCE Platform allows you to drag and drop components directly from Feature Manager Design Tree to 3DEXPERIENCE Platform app (i.e. Bookmark Editor) which provides you ease in working with assemblies.
  • Now you can block drawing transition if its referenced components are not in the targeted maturity state with new maturity transition rule.

Social/Web apps

3DSwym

Forward Wiki Pages
We can now forward wiki pages from one community to another.
The forward feature that exists in 3DSwym allows you to share content published in a community, or a conversation to another community/conversation. It has now been extended to wiki pages.

 

  1. Forward a single page
  • Available from the content drop-down menu.
  • Accessible to members that created the wiki page, community owners, and admin.

 

 

 

 

  • This feature will now allow you to forward and display to the newly forwarded content, or to remain on the same page where the forward was done from, all of these is possible because of availability of 'forward & display' option.

 

 

 

  1. Forward multiple page
  • Available from the wiki tree menu
  • Accessible to community owners and administrators

This feature will be available as an option in the wiki tree in which the 'forward & display' option is unavailable.

 

 

 

 

  • Don't forget to expand the node of the wiki tree you want to forward, as sub-wiki pages are not selected by default.

 

 

 

 

  • Once selected, you can continue to select the destination community.

 

 

Benefits:

  • You will receive notifications when all forwards are completed.
  • All forwarded pages will be displayed individually in the what's new.
  • The original hierarchical structure can be used in destination wiki.

Limitations:

  • Media in a wiki page will not be forwarded, in case you do not have edition rights on media, or if Media is in a public community

 

3DDashboard

  • 'Search in tab' option for each tab of a 3DDashboard
    We can now search in each tab of a 3DDashboard with 'Search in tab' option, under menu of each tab.
    It will display a search input just beneath the tab name, instead of focusing the top bar search input.

 

 

 

 

  • Note: This search input as an overlay will keep display until you will close it manually, or do any action to close it (For example: tab change, dashboard change, any action that will change the current tab to another tab etc.).


When you click 'Search In Current Tab' option available for 3DDashboard, you will be redirected to 'Search in Tab' option available for current tab of the dashboard.

 

 



 

  • Search in widget

Now, we also have 'Search in widget' option available for each widget.

 

 

 

 

3DDrive

  • Display only the selected tenant
    You can now change the tenant using the top bar selection menu, so that apps should display the content of the selected tenant. 3DDrive will only show the selected tenant in the drives view, with all external drives (Box, Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive).
     
  • Reorganized User Interface
    The "Add members" action is now removed from the top actions bar and content dropdown menu for folders and files.
    When we will click on the "Share" action, we will get all the sharing capabilities suitable for the selection displayed on the screen.
    You can also share to 3DSwym Community now.
     

 

3DSketch

  • Sketch in context of a background image
    Sketch in context of picture is now available for everyone in 3DSwym communities and conversations, by selecting ‘Sketch it’ on a perspective picture.

By choosing the ‘Sketch in context of a background image’ mode, the application will try to retrieve automatically the perspective of the given image.
• In case the AI algorithm has found more than one perspective, you can navigate through the different perspectives and choose the best one.
• If no perspective can be retrieved, you can manually set it.

3DStory

 

3DSearch and 6WTags

  • Multitenant support from 3DDashboard

This information will help you in case if you are using different environments having multiple tenants. This is a change related to the tenant list (Platform list) that is displayed.

Previously the secondary menu was visible with the “Select Platform” option, Now with this function the secondary menu will no longer have the “Select Platform” option.

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                       The tenant change will be managed from the global top bar.

 

 

 

3DPlay

  • Format Compatibility Improved
    The list of standard exchange formats supported is now enriched, with STEP AP242 tesselated and monolithic formats.
  • Productivity Improved:
    User can now decide to 'upload' the loaded content into 3DSpace application, in addition of 3DDrive and 3DSwym applications. This improves the users' productivity because they can validate the content, before pushing it to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

3DSpace

Optional organization selection for members of a collaborative space
This new feature will allow us to specify the organization with which we would like to add members (users/ user groups).
Note: Here the term ‘Organization’ refers to either Company or Business Unit or Department

 

Benefits:

  • This function will allow selecting an organization from the ‘add member’ panel. All the members will be added on the collaborative space with the selected organization.
  • The ‘add Members’ panel will be modified in order to add the possibility to select the organization.
  • The new option ‘Assign credentials with a given organization’ is deactivated by default. The current behavior will remain the default behavior.
  • If this option is activated, We can type the first letters of the organization on the search bar, starting from the third letter, a list with the organization’s title is displayed automatically and the user can select one of them. All the members in this panel will be assigned to the selected organization.
  • If the checkbox is selected and an organization is selected, the checkbox will remain checked for the future use of the add member modal. If the user clears the cache of the browser, the saved behavior for the checkbox will be lost.
  • New created organizations may not appear immediately; the operation can take some time, as the search for those organizations relies on data indexing. The only first forty results corresponding to the typed organization’s title are displayed.

    Here is a screenshot of how the ‘add members’ panel looks like

 

 

Limitations:

  • Only one organization can be selected.
  • Update the responsibility on a specific organization can only be done from the ‘Advanced view’
  • Only one organization can be selected from the list. In addition, this organization will be applied for all the added members.
