The platform helps companies re-invent their value creation process. Companies can use a virtual twin of the product to create realistic experiences. By applying product lifecycle assessments in the early phases, companies avoid mistakes and analyze tradeoffs (design, material, manufacturing processes etc.) to optimize sustainability. A platform approach also transforms collaboration (for example working with suppliers and logistics companies) to meet sustainability goals.
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform supports the several CAD applications:
- Mechanical Computer Aided Design (MCAD) applications: CATIA V5, SOLIDWORKS, Creo Parametric, NX, SOLIDEDGE, and Inventor
- Electronic Computer Aided Design (ECAD): Cadence Allegro / HDL / OrCAD; Altium Designer
If your company uses compatible CAD solutions, your teams can continue to work in their familiar design environment while accessing new capabilities via the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud. No need to translate or migrate data. Some of the many advantages include:
- Sharing existing CAD designs with anyone.
- Collaborating during digital mock-up process with teams in any location.
- Applying new applications (also available from Dassault Systèmes) such as finite element analysis and digital manufacturing planning.
- Integrating design processes into full product lifecycle management from design to validation, manufacturing and change management.
- Improve communication with highly realistic renderings or reviews in virtual reality.
