Master the Relations Tool in 3DEXPERIENCE Platform
INTRODUCTION Unlike traditional CAD, where file searches are manual and tedious, the 3DEXPERIENCE Relations tool visualizes the "digital thread" of your design. It replaces fragmented folder structures with a transparent, interconnected map, instantly revealing the engineering intent and dependencies behind every object. The Relations app maps complex database links into a visual web, allowing engineers to see exactly how one change ripples across assemblies, parts, and documents related to them. THE EVOLUTION: From "File Paths" to "Data Map" Traditional SOLIDWORKS relies on fragile external references that breaks if folder paths change. In contrast, the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform uses a robust database where objects are connected via Relational Links. The Relations ...
