How to Overcome your collaboration barriers with 3DEXPERIENCE cloud solutions?

Effective benefits of Cloud Collaboration - THE 3DEXPERIENCE PLATFORM

3DEXPERIENCE is a cloud-based platform, easily accessed with a browser which has curated solutions for persons from each department in an organization ranging from design, simulation, and manufacturing to governance/Management.

Before knowing what’s new in recent 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, let’s quickly run through a few capabilities in this powerful cloud collaboration environment - 3DEXPERIENCE. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform has cloud design and collaboration capabilities in close integration with SOLIDWORKS to carry out Product Data Management (PDM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) activities.

Connect your SOLIDWORKS or any CAD data with the 3DEXPERIENCE cloud platform to securely save and manage them from anywhere, anytime with any device. Below listed are a few of the general benefits of cloud-based collaboration for SOLIDWORKS.

· Create several tailored dashboards to serve your needs in a single place.

· Save and manage access, revisions, and product lifecycle of your Designs or Non-CAD data on the cloud.

· Real-time collaboration of ideas, designs, tasks, and people with other teams like simulation and manufacturing in a unified environment with the cloud as a single source of truth to eliminate duplicates.

· Conduct design reviews from anywhere using 3D markups, issue management, and change management with a whole track of what and when anything has happened during the product lifecycle.

· Compare your designs with previous revisions and make custom approval routes within the organization.

·  Plan your project with work-breakdown tasks, milestones, and dependencies with Gantt chart UI.

·  Browser-based design tools for parametric and sub-divisional modeling (Digital Clay modeling).

·  Generate and manage part numbers, product structures, and BOMs digitally.

THERMAL OPTIMIZATION OF HEAT SINK’S USING SOLIDWORKS FLOW SIMULATION

SolidWorks Flow Simulation helps Designers in Evaluating the performance of the fins of a solid body that is generating heat.

Using SolidWorks Flow Simulation, we can accurately capture the thin walls of the geometry by its advanced meshing algorithm. (Refer to Image 1- We can Enable minimum wall thickness of the model geometry)

Image 1: Automatic Mesh

Image 2: Thin Wall Optimization Mesh

SolidWorks Flow Simulation also provides the manual mesh type option for the users who require additional accuracy due to stringent design criteria.

Using manual mesh type, users can add the control planes (Refer to image 3) at the required locations.

Have the Things in your Hands!

Just imagine! What if you become the President of The United States of America? What if you could have a control on stopping the bullet train with 320kph within a second in some chances of critical situation? What if the UNO announces you to monitor the whole nations in the world? Very curious. Let we break it out. In 2013, SolidWorks has introduced one of the biggest assets to the management who handle large Designs. 

We can also say it is one of the most welcome tool that meets our users and management’s expectation. The tool none other than is CAD ADMIN DASHBOARD.

CAD Admin Dashboard would have a collection of details about the process and operations that are carried out in the Design area with respect to the graphical data representations.

Let we have just three simple steps to attain the core capabilities of CAD Admin Dashboard and feel why the users sense this tool as an asset.

STEP 1 CAD Admin Dashboard shall be seen in Customer Portal which is inside SolidWorks website. To access this tool, the user must hold a SolidWorks Customer Portal account. 

STEP 2 SolidWorks Account Tab displays. Login to the portal using your User ID and Password.

If You don’t have SolidWorks Customer Portal Account, please reach your VAR and hold an account asap. It is an added benefit tool.

STEP 3 Once you get Login. Go to References-> CAD Admin Dashboard.

Core Capabilities of CAD Admin Dashboard

Once you complete the above steps (1-3), you will be seeing the complete details of the CAD Admin Dashboard window.

The things which we get here is,

• Account Details Information
• Machine Details
• Lastly Updated Status
• Serial Numbers
• Service Pack details
• Groups
• Actions Taken
• Performance of the Machine
• Session Details

Really interesting right? The complete set of details about the SolidWorks Licenses, recent service packs installed, last updated status with date and time and moreover the performance of the machine hardware memory level and graphics support details. As we seen above, the session details of each designer’s activity [login and logout date & time] shall be taken with graphical form. Once everything noticed, the user can export the required details in EXCEL format.

However, the complete actions which shown above should have a definite source of master key to fetch [observe/monitor] all these details and displays cumulatively in a single window. In other words, there should be some source working behind these scenes. Right? Yes, here is the key. To observe/ monitor the complete set of actions, the designers should,

Open SolidWorks-> Go to System Options-> General Tab-> Enable the check box “SOLIDWORKS CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM” option. This is the master key which helps to capture each and every process in the CAD Admin Dashboard. 

On the whole, I would like to express everything in simple words. “Have the Things in your Hands”. Catch up soon next. Have a great day.
