The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is a business experience
platform that provides transparent data and lifecycle management. You can search, save,
manage, and share files in collaborative spaces on the
platform.
Two
SOLIDWORKS Visualize product offerings are available to provide access to all the 3DEXPERIENCE services and apps that you are entitled to use based
on your role.
Render
with SOLIDWORKS
Visualize
The Collaborative Designer role for SOLIDWORKS gives you access to
Render
with SOLIDWORKS Visualize. This offering is an add-in that lets
you continue to use the SOLIDWORKS Visualize Standard or Professional application
that is installed on your computer. When you install the add-in, it appears as the
3DEXPERIENCE tab in SOLIDWORKS Visualize.
This offering provides a lightweight connection between your SOLIDWORKS
Visualize application and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. With the
add-in, you can manage data and lifecycle
actions,
and browse communities and social collaborative apps.
SOLIDWORKS Visualize Connected
SOLIDWORKS 3DEXPERIENCE Professional and SOLIDWORKS 3DEXPERIENCE Premium give you access to Visualize Connected. This offering installs a full version of the SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional
application on your computer from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
In most ways, Render with SOLIDWORKS Visualize and Visualize Connected behave the
same. Visualize Connected gives you more capabilities on the platform and, if you
are online and connected, it gives you the flexibility to work anywhere and at any
time.
With SOLIDWORKS Visualize Connected, you log on to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to use SOLIDWORKS Visualize and all
the other services and apps available there. You can upload design content directly
to the platform through a web browser to view, modify, manage, and share work. The
platform automatically stores and updates all data.
