How to Share, Mark Up & Comment Using the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform?
Introduction
Design teams have different needs. Many want to communicate more efficiently with their partners. With the 3DEXPERIENCE PLATFORM, there are convenient tools like “Share a File” that allow users to remove the friction associated with sharing their designs, both internally and externally.
Prerequisites roles for using this feature
3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS (Standard, Professional, Premium) OR
Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS
Let’s consider two different user scenarios for using this feature, check the story as follows:
➢ User 1 – Designer
➢ User 2 – External
Step 1: Login to the 3DEXPERIENCE PLATFORM as User 1- Designer.
Step 2:
Launch the SOLIDWORKS application using the Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS role or using the 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS role.
Open up your design in SOLIDWORKS and share a file from the Lifecycle and Collaboration tab.
This command opens up the dialog box, which has the facility to share your design data more securely, like enabling guest comments and restricting access to specific users, as shown in the figure below.
Input the email ID and add a message to the external user about the design suggestion.
Step 3:
User 2-External receives an email that User 1-Designer had sent some file for design suggestion.
Click on the link to view the content.
No file attachments or viewers to download.
Just a notification with a link allowing controlled access to your content from a browser.
Step 4:
User 2- External will be asked to log in to the 3DEXPERIENCE PLATFORM using their 3DEXPERIENCE ID to access content securely in the platform, as shown in the figure below.
Dimensions can be taken, sketches can be made on the model to communicate design ideas, and markups added from multiple views to convey manufacturing suggestions.
When finished, comments can be entered to communicate back with User 1-Designer with additional information and markup.
The best part here is that User 1-Designer receives a notification without leaving the SOLIDWORKS interface.
Users can access any comments and markups right from the task pane of the 3DEXPERIENCE PLATFORM. They not only contain the annotations that were added but also remember the orientation of the model, making it easy for the user to understand the feedback.
Conclusion:
In today’s demand for flexible workplaces for engineers, the 3DEXPERIENCE PLATFORM helps users securely share, markup, and comment on design data for easy and faster communication.

How to Archive Environment in SolidWorks Electrical?
Environment Archive:
The Environment Archive can contain all the Library items and all of the Active Projects. Depending on the size of your Environment in SolidWorks Electrical and whether you are using SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D will greatly affect the size of your Environment.
To Archive the Environment, the Command is run from a Client Computer. Here are the steps to archiving the Environment in SolidWorks Electrical.
Launch SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic on a client computer.
From the File tab of the Command Ribbon (Command Manager), Select Archive Environment.
4. The Archive Environment Wizard will Launch
5. Click the Next Button to Proceed to the Selection Tab of the Archive Environment Wizard.
6. If you are archiving the Environment for a Server Move I would select all objects. Otherwise, you can select an appropriate option.
7. After making your Selection Click on the Next Button. You will see a Summary of all the items to be archived.
8. Click Finish to begin the archive process (This may take some time to see any activity, the system is gathering data)
9. Next, you will be prompted for the location and File name to save the Archive. (by default the archive is named Enviroment_Date.tewzip save this file to a location that you can access later.

What is Material Calibration – A Deep Dive
Material Calibration – A Deep Dive
Knowing how to represent the materials in the structure is one of the hurdles of using Abaqus for sophisticated modeling. It’s really easy to define a basic linear elastic material model. It’s a little trickier to define a nonlinear elastic material, like rubber or elastomer, but you may learn more about that topic by attending some of our excellent courses.
Rubber and elastomeric materials can get even more complicated than just their nonlinear elastic behavior, exhibiting significant viscous behavior and something called Mullin’s damage. The image above shows test data exhibiting all of these behaviors. It is very common that one needs to decide which behavior is important for your particular application. Trying to develop an “all-encompassing” material model that captures things such as rate dependence, temperature dependence, etc., is often not required to get some good design guidance from simulation.
We plan to write a number of articles that tackle typical problems with material modeling and calibration. We will be adding content to this article around every month, so please check back from time to time.
In the event that the measured portion of the specimen exhibits uniform material behavior, then calibration can be carried out using equations – if you know them. Two common non-homogeneous deformations are i) necking in a tensile test and ii) compression puck with friction. For non-homogeneous deformations, we often use multi-element Abaqus analyses for calibration. Other times, the deformation might be homogeneous, but you don’t know the stress-strain relation equations (in closed form). In that case we often use Abaqus analysis of a “unit-cube” for calibration. We will have individual posts that describe each of these types of calibration approaches.
This Post will serve as an overview and summary of material test data that we can share with each other.
