Last school year Cherokee Trail High School started using 3DEXPERIENCE in their established SOLIDWORKS program. In this session, teachers from Cherokee Trail will share lessons learned, and best practices. Presentation topics will include the following: General information on setting up accounts for students, and factors to consider with file management. New and easier tools are available in 3DEXPERIENCE compared to SOLIDWORKS. Challenges that students and teachers encountered. The functional differences between SOLIDWORKS and xDesign in the classroom. Using the SOLIDWORKS Connector with 3DEXPERIENCE. More student certification opportunities.
