Migrate from V5 to V6 with eLearning solutions
To support your company’s migration to the V6 Collaborative platform, DS University has created a series of Companion courses.
The Companion V5 to V6 transition series includes Mechanical Design, Surface Design, Analysis, Electrical, PLM Express and Automotive courses.
These eight Companion courses allow V5 users to get acquainted with V6 at their own pace. In order to perform the course exercises, you only need to ensure your students have access to a V6 environment to which they can download the 3DXML data included in the courses.
Should you need to migrate from V5 to V6R2009, or V6R2009x, V6R2010, V6R2010x, V6R2011, V6R2011x or any forthcoming release these courses will be available to you.
