3DDashboard

  • Enhanced Connectivity of Widgets between various Devices

You can now install a dedicated (and instantiated) widget inside your mobile device using new feature "Send to device".


From desktop, a QR code will be generated and allow you to scan the widget with your mobile device.

With your mobile device, scan and follow instructions to install on your Android or iOS devices.

3DSwym 

  • Forward content: Media always copied
    New rules are applied when forwarding a content to another community: Media included in the content are also duplicated in the  destination community to be sure the new audience will see correctly the content and its media.

3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS

  • Parts & Features
    • Create wrap features from sketches that use single-line fonts to inscribe information such as model name
    • Turbocharge the copying of body geometries with the ability to control translation and rotation values with equations.
    • Save time when placing library feature with more flexibility while locating features.
 

​​​​​ 

  • ​​​​​Sheetmetal & Structure
    • Save redesign time and catch costly mistakes by allowing users to set sheet metal specific sensors that dynamically warn users if the flat pattern of the sheet metal part exceeds width, length, area or bounding box area blank values.
    •  Automatically group similar corners and apply the same corner treatment.
 


  • Assembly
    • Speed up assembly design workflow by supporting configuration for skipped instances in assembly pattern features.
    • Easily work with large assemblies using assembly visualization there is no longer need to resolve components for properties such as mass and total weight.
 


  • Drawings
    • ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Display transparent models in drawings more accurately with Hidden Lines Removed (HLR) and Hidden Lines Visible (HLV) modes.
 


CATIA

Mechanical Systems Design

New Mechanisms can be created from Engineering Connections and Assembly definition, which can be directly re-used in Motion Apps.

Easy Mechanism Playing and validation with Kinematics Player

Note: Default behavior of Mechanical Systems Design App stays unchanged.
If the Preferences are changed to Activate "Create and Manage Mechanisms Compatible with Motion Apps" option, then the UI and behavior changes as seen in the videos. 
For Details of what are Motion Apps, please refer to this post and view the video (34:00 Mins Onwards), however this information is Industry/Commercial Version based, and NOT Academic Version specific.


Please view the below Videos for more information.

    SIMULIA

    Electromagnetics Engineer

    • New Role!

    We are proud to announce that with the R2023x GA release on December 3rd, electromagnetic simulation capabilities will be added to the already existing structures and fluids functionalities in the 3DEXPERIENCE Education roles 3DEXPERIENCE Engineer Student, 3DEXPERIENCE Engineer for Education (U2R) and Simulation Engineer for Education (U2U).

    Users will be able to access SIMULIA CST Studio Suite, the leading solution for low to high frequency (static to optical) electromagnetic simulations. This product can be used to design antenna and microwave devices and identify and mitigate electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) risks in electronic devices.

    The available functionality is the same like in the Commercial Role Electromagnetic Engineer (EMG), but the maximum model size and available embedded CPU cores are limited:

    • 1 embedded job up to 8 cores
    • Maximum model size of 1,000,000 HEX, 80,000 TET or 2,000 surface mesh cells

    For working with larger models, the restrictions can be lifted with the additional license Simulation Researcher (UNU). 

    You can learn how to use this new functionality by completing the EDU Space learning path "Perform as an Electromagnetics Engineer". If you are a student at a academic institution and do not already have access, please contact your platform administrator to obtain the voucher required to access the EDU Space. 

    To get support join the SIMULIA Community and the 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Students Community and post your questions and connect with subject matter experts.


    Plastic Injection Engineer

    • Improved User Experience 

    Now you can access mesh statistics (# of elements per domain, mesh quality metrics), delete meshes, and provide greater control over mesh visibility (turn on/off visibility by domain)

    The Mesh Part Manager dialog displays all the mesh parts in your model and provides you with a quick reference on the mesh status and mesh statistics such as number of elements and nodes for each part. Additionally, you can use the mesh part manager to edit, update, or control the visibility of meshes.


    DELMIA

    Mill-Turn Machining

    • A New User Friendly Interface​​​​​​​
      A simpler, more user-friendly, intuitive user interface enhances the user experience for milling & turning applications

    Please view the below Video for more information.
