SOLIDWORKS XDESIGN COMMERCIAL MARCH 2016 UPDATE

File management is a core PDM challenge for the last 15-20 years. The need to design and use data on all platforms (desktop, web, mobile) is driving force to make a change and go beyond file-management paradigm. You can read one of my blogs about it here. Initially, I thought 3DEXPERIENCE is all about to move from file-based architecture to data-driven architecture. It makes sense and it was long term goal announcement by Dasault Systems back at the time of building CATIA and ENOVIA V6 architecture. However, it seems like Solidworks browser-based developing is transforming some of fundamental roots of 3DEXPERIENCE. What is my conclusion? It is hard to jump from desktop file-driven to cloud-based environment. My hunch, we are going to see many examples of companies and technologies going through this transformation process in the next few years. Dassault’s 3DEXPERIENCE and Solidworks Xdesign are examples of newer platform(s) that experience challenges of transformation. Will Dassault Systemes connect dots between existing Solidworks customers, browser-based Xdesign experience and 3DEXPERIENCE platform powered by MatrixOne platform is a good question to ask.Update to Take Effect Following SOLIDWORKS World. Norwalk, CT – 3Dconnexion, supplier of high-performance input devices for CAD professionals, announced today that 3Dconnexion devices will be compatible with SOLIDWORKS’ xDesign modeling solution, in response to high demand from early xDesign users. xDesign, based on Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, is SOLIDWORKS’ new CAD and collaboration tool, run entirely in browser with no installation necessary.
