You can read one of my blogs about it here. The need to design and use data on all platforms (desktop, web, mobile) is driving force to make a change and go beyond file-management paradigm. File management is a core PDM challenge for the last 15-20 years. One of them is usage of files in design and engineering applications. History and evolution of 3DEXPERIENCE platformįile and Data driven architecture co-existence?Ĭloud is transforming existing data management paradigm. Another source of information – Dassault 3D Perspective blog – The power of Zero. In this video, Jeff Cloud – Bell Helicopter, Jeff Erno – GE Power & Water, and Jim Brown – Tech Clarity are discussing how adopting a data-driven architecture and zero files approach can improve product development, quality and time to market. Few slides that related to this discussion can be captured here. You can see one of them here – Data-driven Architecture and Target Zero Files with ENOVIA. I captured the information about 3DEXPERIENCE Zero-file from few online presentations and videos provided by ENOVIA. You can see it below – customer is running into hierarchy of files from Dropbox or 3DEXPEREINCE Xdrive.ģDEXPERIENCE Xdesign app together with other zero-file based app Solidworks Xdesign is based on 3DEXPERIENCE Xdriveīased on the slides I captured, 3DEXPERIENCE Xdrive is a data management paradigm used by Xdesign application and other (maybe new Solidworks eDrawing app in a browser). Based on my previous understanding, one of the differentiation factors of 3DEXPERIENCE platform is to shift away from painful file based experience into data drive future without files. What caught my special attention is a combination of File-based paradigm of Solidworks Connected applications, browser-based Xdesign online and 3DEXPERIENCE platform. I captured the following napkin chart made by Josh Mings of SolidSmack. For the first time after 2010, Solidworks introduced browser based development work – Solidworks Xdesign based on 3DEXPERIENCE platform. You can take a look on some of my earlier notes here. I’m slowly digesting news from Solidworks World 2016, which took place last week. Connecting dots between 3DEXPERIENCE, Zero Files and Solidworks Xdesign
