SOLIDWORKS solutions have received widespread adoption from the time of inception, as the developer community has consistently focused on the evolving product design needs of the manufacturing industry. From the initial release in 1995 and the subsequent releases with hundreds of new features and functionalities, SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD has become the benchmark for engineering design software. Over the years with new releases and Add-on software, SOLIDWORKS has evolved from a mere 3D Modelling CAD software to a powerful connected desktop software platform catering to the end-to-end product development needs of industries of all sizes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Looking back to the past 25 Years of SOLIDWORKS product releases, the roadmap of each version or new add-on was structured in such a way that every function within an organization, be it Analysis & Validation ( CAE\/ CFD) to Data Management ( PDM & Manage), Quality & Inspection, Technical Documentation, Plastics Simulation, rendering, animation and visualization, Manufacturing (CAM) and Electrical Layout integration, etc can take complete advantage of the basic 3D CAD model created in SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD. For the majority of the customers, software tools for all their product development needs were readily available either with the base CAD product or with an Add-on tool, tightly integrated within the SOLIDWORKS environment and that became a major success factor for SOLIDWORKS CAD. Not to forget the ecosystem of SOLIDWORKS \u201cPartner product\u201d portfolio which complimented the niche solutions addressing the specific needs of customers, thereby taking full advantage of the 3D CAD model created in SOLIDWORKS. All of these have contributed to creating a category labeled \u201cDesktop Platform\u201d of SOLIDWORKS.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With the growing number of users within the organization, and SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD data being the core of the product development, data management and project management functionality became critical for most of the SOLIDWORKS customers. With varying requirements, from structured product design workflows to revision & version control and secure sharing of design data, the customer needs keep growing with respect to data management, and SOLIDWORKS PDM & manage product became a must for all the desktop SOLIDWORKS customers. With digital collaboration, the standardization of secure file sharing and project management became the need of the hour for organizations of all sizes, thereby, making SOLIDWORKS PDM and SOLIDWORKS Manage popular over the years.

1.1 SOLIDWORKS DESKTOP CLOUD CONNECTED- MANAGE DATA ON THE CLOUD.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While SOLIDWORKS PDM and SOLIDWORKS Manage gave customers excellent functionalities for the on-premises data management and project management needs, there was a growing need for Desktop customers to explore the Cloud-based data management capabilities. While SOLIDWORKS PDM and SOLIDWORKS Manage can be configured to store the data on the cloud, the need for SOLIDWORKS users as well as non-SOLIDWORKS users to connect to the product development workflow without the limitation of dedicated hardware and collaborate from a basic browser interface was critical. This specific need of the organizations to reduce the dependency on the dedicated hardware to communicate, collaborate and perform data management tasks securely from the comfort of a browser was addressed with the introduction of SOLIDWORKS Cloud Connected- based on\u00a03D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Works portfolio.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

SOLIDWORKS Cloud-connected is an option for existing SOLIDWORKS users to connect their design data and collaborate on the cloud platform. For customers who have a legacy, SOLIDWORKS CAD data, and who wish to make their engineering design data to be made available for collaboration and managing design data through the powerful ENOVIA PLM capabilities SOLIDWORKS cloud Connected is the way forward. Here the users continue to work on their SOLIDWORKS Desktop product and the file storage is handled through the\u00a03D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform where each user has a restricted login based on the \u201cRole\u201d and the Apps under each role. There is no separate hardware to store the data on the cloud and users within the same group can communicate and collaborate on the\u00a03D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Platform.<\/p>\n
