3DEXPERIENCE Works Lesson #1: Getting Started with SOLIDWORKS and the Platform
What is the 3DEXPERIENCE platform? Why should I use the platform? How does it work within my SOLIDWORKS session? To find out the answer to these questions, review Getting Started with SOLIDWORKS and the Platform.

After teaching 1000’s of students and writing about SOLIDWORKS for over 25 years, David Planchard, emeritus WPI, is exploring xDesign. Through the SOLIDWORKS xDesign Lesson series, David helps educators understand the differences and similarities between xDesign and
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS xDesign Lesson 11: Sketch Based and Applied Features
Through the years of teaching SOLIDWORKS, I tell my students important basics. 1. Select the correct sketch plane. 2. Keep the Base sketch simple. 3. Use constraints (geometric relations) before dimensions. 4. Keep features simple. Similar basics apply with SOLIDWORKS xDesign.

Nadir Oktay Küçükaltun is a SOLIDWORKS Champion, our SOLIDWORKS User Group Leader (SWUG) Leader in Turkey, 3DEXPERIENCE EDU Champion, and winner of SOLIDWORKS Student Model Mania in 2023. Known to the SOLIDWORKS community and his friends as Nadiro, he has
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS xDesign Lesson #10: Sketching, Constraints, Dimensions
Design intent manages the relationship between sketches in a feature, features in a part, and parts in an assembly. Students need to understand design intent in a sketch, using constraints and dimensions. Let’s start with a simple example using xDesign.

Engineering students need to understand how to create assemblies using a bottom – up design approach, a top – down design approach or combination of both. Use SOLIDWORKS xDesign to understand how external references are created when inserting a new component. Enhance working proficiency with copy with mates using components not in a pattern. Utilize a collaborative space so students just don’t loose their data in the cloud.
... ContinuedSAE Aero Competition Takes Off with SOLIDWORKS
Do you like planes? Do you like to fly? We wanted to share with the SOLIDWORKS community the results of talented engineering students from around the world. This past weekend, the best in aerospace, mechanical, systems and design students gathered
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS xDesign Lesson #8: 4Bar Linkage with Kinematics
The 4Bar Linkage provides students a first look at mechanisms, before applying an analytical solution, with easy to understand Joints in the Kinematics player. The Physical Products (components) can be used between many apps on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS xDesign Lesson #7: Assemblies
In this lesson, import three SOLIDWORKS parts (Windows) into xDesign and save to a Collaborative space (cloud) . From the Collaborative space insert the three components, one at a time, into the Rocket assembly. The first component is inserted to the Origin and is fixed. All other components are inserted to the Origin and are not fixed. Use mates to represent the physical behavior of the model.

Imagine if engineering students could share information about their projects and collaborate with their professors and each other. Imagine if student teams use project planning and product life cycle management tools to understand skills required by future employers. Imagine if
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS xDesign Lesson #6: Importing Files and Using Bookmarks
Have you created 1000’s of SOLIDWORKS parts, assemblies and drawings? You can import SOLIDWORKS parts and SOLIDWORKS assemblies (.zip) into SOLIDWORKS xDesign. One of the best simple practices for SOLIDWORKS data is to create bookmarks upon the initial save to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS xDesign Lesson #5: Views and View Orientation
Does it matter what plane you start your first sketch on? Yes! Find out how xDesign helps students understand the 6 principle views (Top, Front, Right, Back, Bottom, Left) and view orientation with the reference Triad and the Trimetric view.
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS xDesign Lesson #4: Create a Dashboard
Students need to understand how apps work together to design components. Create a new Dashboard with three important apps (Widgets) for a classroom environment SOLIDWORKS xDesign, 3DSpace (cloud storage), and Bookmark Editor (view and manage files).
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS xDesign Lesson #3: Sketch Planes
One of the most difficult areas I’ve seen with my students is where do they start the design. What sketch plane do they select? Most xDesign features start with a sketch. The default reference planes are: xy (Top), yz (Front), and zx (Right). This lesson takes you through creating a cylinder with a circular sketch on different reference planes.
