What's Covered?

  • Revisions: The video explains how revisions help track changes to a product, with options for numeric or alphanumeric schemes. [00:25]
  • Maturity States: It discusses how to use maturity states and life cycles to track and set access rights. [00:52]
  • Change Actions: The video covers how change actions are used to capture information related to data management and ensure traceability for signatures, documents, and metadata. [01:17]
  • Issue Management: It explains how issue management allows anyone in a company to document and share an issue related to a SOLIDWORKS design, which can then drive a change action. [02:04]
  • Routes: This section shows how routes can be configured to handle complex sign-off procedures, such as multi-step or parallel sign-offs. [02:30]

 

Step-by-Step Instructions (AI-generated from video transcript):

Based on the video at https://youtu.be/2F-fhEfAFrc, here is a summary of how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform helps with data management, though it doesn't provide a hands-on, step-by-step guide that can be followed:

 

Part1: Revisions and Maturity States

  • Revisions: The platform allows you to use revisions to track changes to a product's history. These can be configured using a numeric or alphanumeric scheme.
  • Maturity States: Maturity states and life cycles can be used to track and set access rights. This helps control who can access the design at different stages of its development.

Part 2: Change Actions and Issue Management

  • Change Actions: The platform uses change actions as a core mechanism to capture information related to data management, ensuring traceability for signatures, documents, and other metadata involved in a change.
  • Issue Management: Anyone in the company can initiate an "issue" related to a SOLIDWORKS design. This issue can then be used to drive a formal change action, providing a way to capture and document problems and share them with the responsible people.

Part 3: Routes

  • Routes: For more complex sign-off requirements, such as multi-step or parallel sign-off procedures, Routes can be configured to manage the process.

 

 

 

<strong>Note</strong>: These steps and capabilities apply to both SOLIDWORKS with Cloud Services and 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS.

<strong>SOLIDWORKS with Cloud Services</strong> is made up of the SOLIDWORKS Design application (downloaded from www.solidworks.com) and the Design with SOLIDWORKS app (3DEXPERIENCE Addin), which is installed via the 3DEXPERIENCE platform
For <strong>3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS</strong>, SOLIDWORKS Design and the 3DEXPERIENCE Addin are combined within the same 3DEXPERIENCE Installation.
