The 3DEXPERIENCE platform creates an environment where nearly every aspect of the project can be managed within the suite. This circumvents the issue of wasted time by having worked on outdated data. This also means that whatever data the supplier or manufacturer can access is always the latest. The user needs to simply perform an “Update” command. For example, if two designers are modifying different parts within an assembly at the same time, each designer can see the modifications that the other has made without having to close, re-sync, and re-open the assembly. This means that modified data will be updated across the entire platform in real time. Users can range from anyone in the internal company, to suppliers, and even customers.Ī major advantage of having a Data-Driven platform is that it gives a “single version of the truth”.

These servers will stream data to users according to their access rights that are set by an admin. 3DEXPERIENCE utilizes a Cloud-Based platform that is set up on a Dassault or on-premise server. The data is, instead, stored in a streamable package.

Having the platform set up this way eliminates the need to store data in a file-based format. Most of the benefits that 3DEXPERIENCE has to offer comes from this “Data-Driven” approach. If you have done any research, watched promotional videos, or listened to anyone talk about 3DEXPERIENCE, you will have heard the term “Data-Driven” ad nauseam (and for good reason). Dassault Systèmes developed the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to create a Cloud-Based, Data-Driven, and all-in-one PLM experience that better organizes workflows and streamlines development. Whether your company is planning on migrating from CATIA V5-6 to 3DEXPERIENCE or is in the middle of the process, there are a couple of fundamental differences between the platforms that will ease the transition for you and your company.
