![]() Adding ERP to the Solidworks world is an interesting move and one that makes huge sense, even if the announcement seemed to catch both the audience and some staff members by surprise (remember, this acquisition was only completed a month before the event). While the messaging around this venture was as clear as mud, it seems that this is Dassault leveraging its very recently completed acquisition of IQMS and its manufacturing enterprise resource planning (ERP) software to create a brand new set of offerings for the Solidworks community.ģDExperience.Works will include products from various areas of the business: Solidworks, Enovia (PDM/PLM), Simulia (simulation), as well as the newly acquired IQMS, now rebranded as Delmia.Works. This year, Dassault chief executive, Bernard Charlès took the opportunity to announce yet another new initiative: 3DExperience.Works. We’ve seen company executives take to the stage in front of an increasingly apathetic crowd to wax lyrical about how we are all now living in the “age of experience”. Ever since bosses at Dassault Systèmes made it clear that they intend (and with good reason) to develop the next generation of the Solidworks application set on the company’s own 3DExperience platform, things haven’t exactly gone according to plan.įor almost a decade, we have seen a gradual decline in celebration among the huge Solidworks community, as it has increasingly been bombarded with more exposition, more sales pitches and more product launches than you can shake a stick at. Solidworks World has become one of the industry’s most interesting events in recent years – and not always for the right reasons. Likewise as more design tools become available on the platform you will be able to choose which design tools best serve your needs to simplify the overall engineering process.Solidworks CEO Gian Paulo Bassi addresses the 6,000-strong crowd of resellers, partners and users (Image courtesy of Dassault Systèmes) Instead of having to install and workaround every feature in a complex application you can instead use task specific tools to handle unique design challenges. The philosophy of switching between apps will change the way you work with design tools. ![]() This will allow you to seamlessly move from one App to another leveraging all the features found in a different design app without disrupting your workflow. On the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform this is done by easily switching between Apps in your web browser giving you access to an entire set of tools. Sometimes you will find yourself in a situation where you will want to utilize a different set of design tools in an App better suited to the current challenge. This allows you to focus on the design task at hand and not be overwhelmed with features that are irrelevant at the moment. xShape enables you to create stunning shapes with subdivision modeling while xDesign delivers more traditional CAD features from component and assembly creation. This video highlights the flexibility of being able to switch between Design Apps on the 3DEXPERIENCE WORKS Platform to leverage different tools for different design challenges.ģDEXPERIENCE WORKS Design Apps like 3D Sculptor (xShape App) and 3D Creator (xDesign App) are focused on different facets of product design.
