In March we aired our What’s New in 3DEXPERIENCE Works 2024 episode of SOLIDWORKS Live, an episode that included so many new enhancements and product features included in the latest release. We showed off the enhancements that make the 3DEXPERIENCE platform the best tool for cross-collaborative product development, including the ideal ways to work together amongst your teams to create the best products in the world. Our host, Sean O’Neill, outlined the format of the episode, which began with a
In the midst of all the 3DEXPERIENCE World fun in Dallas last week, we released the latest updates to our cloud-connected and browser-based design solutions, including Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS, available in the 3DEXPERIENCE Works portfolio. One of the big announcements at World was the new AI-powered features that are slated to be in all Dassault Systèmes design apps by the end of the year. AI and machine learning technology isn’t new at Dassault Systèmes as feature and character
Excitement was in the air in Dallas as we collectively kicked off 3DEXPERIENCE World 2024. General sessions began with a welcome greeting from Gian Paolo Bassi, Senior Vice President of 3DEXPERIENCE Works, who drove onto the stage in a classic Shelby Cobra that retrofitted to be a fully electric car. GP reminded the crowd of 4,700 attendees from over 30 countries that 2024 marks the 25th anniversary of this event. Next up we welcomed Bernard Charles, Dassault Systemes Executive Chairman of the

With 3D Mold Creator creating a core and cavity split has never been easier. 3D Mold Creator is a browser-based role that runs on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for design of the mold core, cavity and inserts geometry, available in the 3DEXPERIENCE Works portfolio. If you haven’t had a chance to check out 3D Mold Creator, you’re in luck. My buddy Rob Jost presented a session at this year’s 3DEXPERIENCE World annual user event, and it’s available on-demand.
The latest update of 3D Motion Creator for kinematic analysis offers more ways to better visualize and understand how your models will behave in the real world. The R2023x FD01 release features 2D plot view capability for function shapes, 3D visualization of applied loads, and the ability to use native SOLIDWORKS mates and more. Here’s a glimpse of what’s new: SOLIDWORKS Mates Support – quickly run motion studies on SOLIDWORKS native mates. This is a huge time-saver.
Every year at 3DEXPERIENCE World, our 3DEXPERIENCE Works technical marketing team performs a General Session demonstration that you don’t want to miss. It’s a software demo that’s also a movie and stage play, and we hope it entertains. After all, tech staff plus acting always go hand in mouse-hand, right? This year, our team wanted to take you on an epic to celebrate being back in person in Nashville.
SOLIDWORKS® Product Data Management (PDM) offers more than a secure vault to store files. It enables your teams to securely store and index design data for fast retrieval, eliminate concerns over version control and data loss, and collaborate on designs in multiple locations. With each new release SOLIDWORKS PDM improves on performance, usability, and security, and the latest release, SOLIDWORKS PDM 2023, excels in these areas. Here’s a look at a few of my favorite enhancements.
SOLIDWORKS® has evolved remarkably in the 17 years I’ve been involved working with the software. We’ve really automated things over the years and I’d say it’s shifted from the feel of driving a standard car to driving an automatic luxury car. And, it’s because of you, our customers, and your ideas and feedback that has made the evolution of SOLIDWORKS successful. With each release we aim to fulfill your wish list and continue to focus on automation in addition to enabling users to work smarter,
I spent many years working in the SOLIDWORKS reseller channel doing tech support and teaching SOLIDWORKS classes. This afforded me the opportunity to work with thousands of individual SOLIDWORKS users across the U.S. One of the things I always looked forward to each summer was the release of the Beta version of SOLIDWORKS. Beta is your chance to try the next version of SOLIDWORKS before it launches later in the year. It’s an opportunity to explore the new features and possibly identify any bugs,
Summer is here in the states, and I don’t know about you, but I could use a vacation. I have been daydreaming about sipping a margarita in Cancun. I’ll daydream on my own time. Right now, I’ve got bigger fish to fry as I’ve got to fill you in on what’s new in 3DEXPERIENCE® SOLIDWORKS.
We are excited to announce that SOLIDWORKS® 2023 Beta is live and you can now preview what’s new in this release. Rendering done in SOLIDWORKS by Mecalac. The SOLIDWORKS Beta program gives subscription customers and professional partners early access to the next major release of SOLIDWORKS. SOLIDWORKS 2023 contains user-driven enhancements that help streamline and accelerate your product development processes from concept to manufacturing.
Spring is here and so is the latest release of our 3DEXPERIENCE® Works browser-based roles for design and engineering. Below, we’ll look at what’s new to help keep you productive, in some of our powerful browser-based roles, including 3D Creator, 3D Sculptor, 3D Structure Creator, 3D Mold Creator and Manufacturing Definition Creator. Without further ado, here’s what’s new in FD02 2022. NEW!

How much time can you afford to lose when searching for standard components for reuse in your assemblies? Let’s say that you are designing a lawnmower and you need to find a motor bracket. How will you find a standard component to reuse in your assembly? Do you search with keywords to find the part?
The browser-based design and engineering capabilities on the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform have been recently updated with the R2021x FD05 release on March 13, 2021 (FD stands for “functional delivery”).
