Daault Systmes Confirms First SolidWorks App on the DExperience Platform

SAN DIEGO - Dassault Syst mes has confirmed the launch of SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual on its 3DExperience Platform.

In the Age of Experience, the world of design has changed: It is more social, more conceptual, and collaboration is critical. To that end, Dassault Syst mes is opening new horizons to the world of design and providing the entire SolidWorks community the power of all Dassault Syst mes applications, content and services.

As technologies and business models evolve, our users look to us to provide them with the newest tools to help them collaborate more widely and leverage 3D manufacturing and 3D printing in order to be more competitive and innovative. With SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual, weve done that. For the first time ever, the entire manufacturing industry can benefit from a game-changing social platform that powers both the global SolidWorks community, as well as a new generation of process experiences for the worldwide CATIA community, said Bertrand Sicot, CEO of SolidWorks, Dassault Syst mes. Because of this, the cooperation opportunities for SolidWorks users are profound. This opens the door for our customers across multiple industries and companies where Dassault Syst mes and its other applications are significant players.

Installed in production environments at numerous customer sites, SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual advances conceptual design, enabling users to quickly capture and develop their ideas digitally to create winning designs that build market share.

Complementary to the current and continuing version of the industry-leading 3D design software, SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual combines best-in-class design technology from Dassault Syst mes with SolidWorks familiar, easy-to-use interface. This helps to simplify and streamline conceptual mechanical design, allowing users to develop, confirm and choose the best concepts to engage customers and win business.

One of the key advantages of the new SolidWorks offering based on Dassault Syst mes 3Dexperience Platform is the online collaboration via its built-in cloud capabilities. The social aspect of concept design and decision-making is integrated into SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptuals capabilities.

SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual is a modeling environment focused on the four key elements of conceptual design:

Conceptual: Users can rapidly create and evolve their concepts the way they want without design barriers, and can automatically capture their ideas to use anytime in the future.

Instinctive: Users can design the way they think with agile, instinctive design tools in a structureless modeling environment with direct editing.

Social: Familiar social collaboration tools in the interactive 3DExperience environment allow users to harness the collective intelligence of their company, customers and vendors.

Connected: Collaboration is enhanced with automatically saved design iterations to keep data safe, up-to-date and accessible anytime, anywhere.

SOLIDWORKS Mechanical Conceptual will be generally available in April 2014.
