Informing Users about Unsupported SOLIDWORKS Version (2024 FD02)



An appropriate message appears if the installed SOLIDWORKS version is not compatible with the current version of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.

Benefits: You are informed to install the supported version so that you can continue working in compatible environments.

Depending on the installed SOLIDWORKS version and its compatibility with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, you can either continue using SOLIDWORKS or get blocked.

For a given 3DEXPERIENCE Platform release X, one of the following situations might occur:

  • The last 3 SOLIDWORKS versions are supported: X, X-1, and X-2.
  • A warning is displayed if the SOLIDWORKS version is X-3. Here, the message suggests you upgrade to a higher version that is compatible with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. You can continue using SOLIDWORKS, but the version will be deprecated in the subsequent releases.
  • An error message is displayed if the SOLIDWORKS version is X-4. In this case, you can proceed only when you install a higher version.
