You can
use the MySession widget to manage SOLIDWORKS on the 3DEXPERIENCE
platform.
You can
open and save files from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform by using the
context menu or action bar in the MySession
widget. You can also export product lifecycle-related data about the models, such as the
status, maturity state, and revision.
The following FAQ is a general discussion of how to do things on the
3DEXPERIENCE platform and of platform concepts.
How do I save SOLIDWORKS files
in
the 3DEXPERIENCE platform?
Open the .SLDPRT, .SLDASM, .SLDDRW
files in SOLIDWORKS. When you are ready to share them in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, save the files using the MySession widget in the 3DEXPERIENCE Task Pane. Collaborative spaces store
SOLIDWORKS files as physical products.
What are collaborative spaces?
The 3DSpace app lists the collaborative spaces
to which you have access. You can share content by adding members to the
collaborative space. The membership role in the collaborative space controls what
members can do with the content.
You
can create your own collaborative spaces
if
your administrator allows it. You can use
collaborative
spaces for projects and content libraries.
What is a physical product?
When you save .SLDPRT and
.SLDASM files using the 3DEXPERIENCE
Connector for SOLIDWORKS, each configuration becomes a physical product in a
collaborative space. You open physical products in modeling and simulation apps. A
physical product can be an assembly or a part.
What is a CAD family?
A CAD family is one or more configurations of a part or an assembly.
It can include multiple physical products (manufacturable configurations). A CAD
family object is the root or top-level configuration. You must save all the physical
products in a CAD family in the same collaborative space.
If you want to delete the file from the platform, you need to delete
the CAD family.
What is the difference between 3DSpace and 3DDrive
3DSpace stores physical products and other
content in a database for use in 3DEXPERIENCE apps. Users can
work with up-to-date content in 3DSpace concurrently based on
rules defined by your administrator. 3DDrive allows sharing
outside of 3DEXPERIENCE collaborative spaces.
