3DEXPERIENCE FOR EDUCATION
DIGITAL PLATFORM TO PREPARE THE WORKFORCE OF THE FUTURE
3DEXPERIENCE for Education (R2021x), the most advanced software for product and learning innovation, is available either in the cloud or on-premises within your own operating environment. Both options, therefore, bring new capabilities to educators and students who, in turn, want to experience the engineering practices of industry leaders. Moreover, this is complemented by SOLIDWORKS certification, which ultimately increases employment opportunities in the new global economy.
Indeed, years of collaboration with educators and students across a wide variety of institutions and disciplines have led to a flexible and tailored set of learning solutions, including SOLIDWORKS courses and SOLIDWORKS training, which further enhance their skills.
PREPARING THE WORKFORCE OF THE FUTURE
Consequently, in preparing the workforce of the future, 3DEXPERIENCE for Education serves as an advanced platform designed for a variety of industries, thus enabling the new practices of industry renaissance. It offers the ideal infrastructure for bringing industry practices into learning, alongside SOLIDWORKS online training and SOLIDWORKS tutorials, further extending its impact.
In addition to encompassing comprehensive CAD, CAM, and CAE capabilities, including mechanical design software, the platform provides powerful solutions for managing collaborative work and joint innovation. Furthermore, it is modular, meaning it can be adopted either in full or just as a specific component, making it ideal not only for SOLIDWORKS for students but also for SOLIDWORKS for hobbyists.
Moreover, 3DEXPERIENCE for Education serves as a multidisciplinary social collaboration baseline. Additionally, it can be extended with dedicated packages supporting educational, research, and organizational processes in Design and Engineering, Systems Engineering, Manufacturing and Production, Architecture and Civil Engineering, and Project Management. The platform also integrates SOLIDWORKS surface modeling capabilities, thereby enhancing design accuracy. Furthermore, new packages address advanced simulation and seamlessly create high-quality VR content for digital marketing and procedural learning.
In fact, via an intuitive, web-based user interface, educators can easily create local or international collaborative environments, such as student projects or exams, and assign roles to participants. Consequently, students can start projects on campus, continue at home, and discuss issues over online communities or screen-sharing through SOLIDWORKS online classes. Ultimately, the platform ensures they always access the latest version of their work, making it, therefore, a vital tool for SOLIDWORKS online training.

and also for teaching industrial design and stylingEngineering Expert for Education provides you with the capability to automate the modeling of parts produced using specific manufacturing processes, such as sheet metal, stamping, composites and molding or routed systems comprising pipes, tubes and wires. In addition, it automates the associative design of tooling, which is required to actually produce such parts and systems. Benefits are:
- Provided applications take industry constraints into account: composite, sheet metal...
- Provided applications based on cutting edge technologies: topological optimization, additive manufacturing...
- Surface design to support industrial styling projects..
Powerful process automation tools are provided to template routine work or reuse design expertise.
Indispensable for modeling modern electro-mechanical systems, simulating their
behavior and optimizing smart products, Systems Engineer for Education comes with numerous libraries representing the physics of diverse technologies and phenomena.- Real electro-mechanical systems, whether programmable or not, can be completely virtualized, connected and controlled using the solution, reflecting software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop methodologies and enabling a ‘virtual twin’ approach, a central practice of the fourth industrial revolution.
- These features open up the immense field of virtual labs, tele-operated learning devices and ‘flip lab’ practices.
These capabilities are provided to increase integration across the different levels of system representations (requirements, functional, logical,physical). This structured environment creates an ideal framework for learning the principles and practices of systems architecture and tradeoffs.
in the construction fieldEspecially targeting the early project stages, Urban Architect for Education provides architecture schools and civil engineering departments with an integrative building information modeling (BIM) environment to harmonize interactions between creative architects, architectural engineers and fabrication and construction engineers. It now provides a range of automation tools for rapid building concept design.
- Powerful methods for conducting multidisciplinary trade studies help automate the design and optimization of the overall structure of ships, buildings, dams, stadiums and bridges.
- It familiarizes students with essential practices, such as template-based reuse methodologies and weight and cost management, promoting compliance with environmental regulation and building and fabrication requirements.
Architecture, shipbuilding and civil engineering educators will benefit from the application’s 2D and 3D capabilities, together with a range of data conversion tools, to engage students with the collaborative methods needed by the often fragmented, multi-stakeholder organizations encountered in their industries.
experts across all industries, in a format that is aligned with student needs and skill levelsBuilt specifically for those focusing on developing accurate physics simulations, Simulation Engineer is the perfect role for supporting your Finite Element or Computational Fluid Dynamics coursework, or for ensuring maximum performance and efficiency of your designs in project based learning activities.
Simulation Engineer combines all the simulation roles available in the 3DEXPERIENCE Edu portfolio in a single role, plus all the geometry modelling functionality you’ll need to create your models. You will be able to perform complex thermal and mechanical simulations including non-linear effects like radiation, contact, and complex material responses. You will be able to evaluate a wide range of flow conditions including steady-state, transient, transonic and supersonic flows, for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. You will be able to simulate the build process for a wide range of additive manufacturing methods and materials. Abaqus/CAE users can also use this role to connect their current Abaqus Teaching or Research License with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform allowing them to leverage the best capabilities of each.
Important notes regarding simulation:
- By default, model sizes are limited to 250,000 nodes for structural and plastics models, and 1,000,000 nodes for computational fluid dynamics simulations. Also by default, user subroutines are not supported. The Simulation Researcher role may be purchased to remove these node limits and to enable user-subroutines.
- Jobs must be executed on the same machine as the open Graphical User Interface (GUI).
- Parallel processing: Role includes support for execution on up to 4-cores for structures and plastics and 8-cores for fluids. Increased parallelization is currently not available.
For some of you, the node limits included in the Academia version of 3DEXPERIENCE will not be sufficient to support the size or accuracy requirements of your simulations. Others will need access to user subroutines to create, for example, user-defined materials, or thermal or distributed loading conditions.
The Simulation Researcher Role provides you with access to unlimited model sizes and user subroutines, identical to what is available in the commercial release.
Note that this role removes default academic limitations only; it does not include additional applications or functionality. Like all other roles, it’s assigned on a named-user basis, providing commercial-level simulation capabilities only to those that need it.
