Starting with 2022x FD03, the installation for SOLIDWORKS Visualize Connected downloads a non-Java-based PLM Collaborative Services (PLMCSA) client, which enables the integration between the app and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This client replaces the Java-based Integration Exchange Framework client (IEF).
