Leverage the power of 3DEXPERIENCE platform

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform from Dassault Systemes is a business platform that provides organizations with a holistic, real-time vision of their business activity and ecosystem. It connects people, ideas, data, and solutions in a single collaborative environment empowering industries, from startups to large enterprises, to transform, produce and trade in entirely new ways. It provides access to multiple CAD, CAM, CAE, PLM applications, and many more on a single platform. This is an entirely scalable platform in multiple dimensions. It is available on the premise & the cloud. It has a unified user interface so that users with knowledge of one module can learn and adopt other modules with less effort in adoption and the learning curve. It Improves Overall Product Design and Development Processes.

1. It helps in real-time concurrent engineering- Several designers from multiple locations can collaborate & design simultaneously on the same data. There is no need for an intermediate release or version. Parallel design tasks are possible. It enables real-time collaboration for design work and shortens the design cycle time.
2. Dashboarding capability for social collaboration – Helps to manage projects, variants, design changes, share ideas and concepts with 3Dswim communities. It enables to organize unstructured information in structured way.
3. Easy on cloud platform management – No more complex IT tasks to manage Project, People & Data. It is a simple client software installation and is very easy to invite new collaborators to engage in the platform.
4. Large Assembly management – Multiple options for large data management. It has capacity to manage large and multi-site data connecting multiple contributors and reviewers.
5. 3D Search capability – Enhanced 3D Search capabilities for fast data searching. There are options for multiple bounding box queries and capability for large and multisite data search.
6. Real time Visualization & Ambient Occlusion – CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE delivers natively high-end visualization. There is need for only fewer physical prototypes. It enables team reviews for accurate decisions. It offers advanced level of shadow rendering for high quality visualization. This ensure better design as it is closer to reality.
7. Parallel Design and session refresh- Update CATIA session dynamically to reflect concurrent changes in 3D.
8. Natural Shape – Create or edit any geometry rapidly without the need to know the original part structure. The group of elements will behave as features. There is capability to edit directly imported IGES or STEP geometry. The natural modeling editor enables early prototyping of ideas.
9. 3D Text Creation – Ability to create text in 3D, which was not possible in V5. The new feature also enables creation of associative 3D sketch of complex shapes. These help to create lifelike 3D Mechanical Design in 3D for engraving and embossing.
10. Natural Assembly – Navigate & edit your product structure in 3D, create products & subproducts, Rearrange the structure, Insert & position components, automatically create engineering connections with smart positioning, reuse assembly definition to create kinematic mechanisms.
11. Kinematic Mechanisms in Assembly – Engineering connections can be created from assembly constraints, define the kinematic behavior while defining assembly, joints are maintained when the components are moved in product structure, engineering connections leverage the PLM integration, fastening, interference checking, FEA. It is possible to define kinematics with multi-level mechanisms.
12. 3D Pattern Definition – Ability to pattern in 3D Assembly components. It enables to define complex 3D patterns from set of axis systems. The 3D pattern includes assembly feature impact and covers canonical shapes- linear, circular, rectangular.  
13. Dynamic experience of mechanical products – Perform physically accurate simulations with forces, inertia and gravity. Contacts can be created with restitution/friction parameters.
