The MySession panel displays a tree view of the active file and a list of commands that can be accessed through the Action bar and context menu.

I’m using a created Collaborative space named Engineering Design. The default Collaborative space for a student is named, Common Space. Experience a single modeling environment. This displays the two-way communication between SOLIDWORKS running on your machine and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform running in the cloud. You are logged into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.Ĭlick the 3DEXPERIENCE icon in the Task Pane. The Welcome – SOLIDWORKS dialog box is displayed. Depending on your system setup, cookies, and cache, it will be different. Start a SOLIDWORKS session from your desktop. A full installation of SOLIDWORKS 2019 SP0 or later is required. Your existing cookies and cache determine what you will see on your computer desktop or during a SOLIDWORKS login. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is browser driven. Note: This lesson is not for SOLIDWORKS Connected “3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS”. 3DEXPERIENCE Works Lesson 1: Getting Started with SOLIDWORKS and the Platform. An internet connection is required.ģDEXPERIENCE Launcher needs to be installed. In this lesson, use your default Collaborative space named “Common Space” on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. In the next lesson, you will explore an assembly.īefore we start, there are a few items that you need to know. Note: A part is used in this lesson to simply demonstrate the power of Collaborative space, Bookmarks and revisions with product lifecycle management attributes. Bookmarks provide a file/folder structure similar to Windows Explorer. Create and use Bookmarks, not new Collaborative spaces, to save different assemblies with common referenced components for your classes, teams and organizations. Use these properties for enhanced search options.Ĭollaborative space is defined by an administrator (instructor or IT personnel) or the user, if the user has access rights. View the auto generated embedded model properties. Save the model to your Collaborative space in the MySession panel. Create a New Revision, Unlock the part and view the maturity state of the part. Save the modified SOLIDWORKS part to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. View several Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) attributes of the part. Review and address numerous Save options: Save to this PC, Save to 3DEXPERIENCE, Save Active Window, Save with Options, etc. View the 3DEXPERIENCE Add-In on your SOLIDWORKS desktop. Open a SOLIDWORKS part, not previously uploaded or saved to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Open SOLIDWORKS directly from your machine. ![]() The entire lesson is within the SOLIDWORKS environment connected to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Students need to understand how to save files, where to save files, and create revisions, especially when using assemblies with common reference component names. In my experience, students lose files, overwrite files, use poor naming conventions (Example: Bracket new – newer – last design) and sometimes do not work with their latest revision. ![]() ![]() Through the 3DEXPERIENCE Works Lesson series, David helps educators understand the 3DEXPERIENCE Add-In with simple examples and industry practices. After teaching 1000’s of students and writing about SOLIDWORKS for over 25 years, David Planchard, emeritus WPI, is exploring SOLIDWORKS desktop and the integrated 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.
