[SOLIDWORKS] 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS Professional

Overview

From previous release compatibility and the ability to apply rules when you defeature models using the Silhouette option to the ability to filter out unwanted components on the fly when importing assembly STEP files and achieve design intent effortlessly with the new Symmetric option for Linear Pattern, and more, learn how you can collaborate with users of older versions of SOLIDWORKS and employ new assembly workflows to speed up large assembly design and documentation.

Previous Release Compatibility

Collaborate with suppliers using older versions by saving your 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS designs as older versions. Save parts, assemblies, and drawings as 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS versions that are up to two years prior to the latest release.

Parts and Features

Speed up sketching and capture design intent more clearly. 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS 2024 includes a new options to

  • Preview and edit a dimension as soon as you select one or more entities.
  • Create bidirectional symmetric patterns with the Symmetric option for Linear Pattern.
  • Display the unit of measurement as a custom property in notes and tables.

Sheet Metal and Structure System

Save time and meet manufacturing standards more easily. For sheet metal design

  • Use the new Rip tool to create rips in hollow or thin-walled cylindrical and conical bodies.
  • Simply by selecting an edge on a cylindrical or conical face, you can flatten the part as sheet metal.
  • Normal Cut option for slots when tabs are created at an angle and automatically propagate slots to all instances of a tab that intersects a specific part.

Assemblies

Simplify your design in fewer steps to improve performance and protect your intellectual property

  • Defeature your model with the Defeature Silhouette option using rules which can be based on criteria such as custom property, mass property, and file name.
  • Represent post-assembly machining operations in SOLIDWORKS with Insert an Assembly into a Part.
  • Simplify assembly STEP file import with the ability to filter out unwanted components.

Drawings and Detailing

Create drawings that communicate designs more clearly and ensure your design intent is crystal clear with new options and detail drawings faster with improved chain dimensioning alignment and adherence to drawing standard

  • Clean up dangling dimensions more efficiently by reattaching them to the proper reference points.
  • Exclude hidden sketches from DXF™ Flat-Pattern with a new option.
  • Provide awareness of items with highlight reference at your fingertips.
  • Reduce chance of error with differentiated color of overridden dimensions.

Visualize

  • Ensure consistent experience across 3DEXPERIENCE platform applications with DSPBR appearances.
  • Provide greater clarity and efficiency with new manipulator.
  • Advance light controls with new sunlight animation wizard.
  • Provide greater efficiency with Streamlined Render Output Wizard and craft stunning product animations with interactive video output.
