3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS
Take advantage of lower IT costs and simplified administration by deploying and managing industry-standard SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD through a named user license
What is included with 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS
3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS delivers trusted, industry-standard 3D CAD with a named user license, providing seamless deployment and management. It includes production-ready documentation, built-in real-time collaboration tools, and secure, CAD-aware cloud file management for effortless revisions. With integrated workflows from ideation to manufacturing, users can work flexibly, even offline. Advanced browser-based parametric and freeform design tools enhance creativity, while scalability beyond CAD ensures access to high-end product development solutions, making it a comprehensive platform for modern engineering and design.
3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS Capabilities
3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS combines the best in 3D CAD from production-ready models and an intuitive user interface – with must-have cloud accessibility and product management tools needed for the 21st century and beyond.
Meaningful Collaboration
- Streamlined sharing and markup tools. Get feedback and reviews from multiple users simultaneously through any browser without any need for an install or a file exchange.
- Concurrent design minus the risk. Avoid accidental overwrites with visibility into who is working on your models at any time.
- Built-in management tools. Everything you need to easily manage tasks, revisions, and 3D data is built right inside of your 3D CAD interface.
Everything You Need from Design to Manufacturing
- Industry-standard 3D mechanical design. Create with the trusted, industry-standard parts, assemblies, large design review, and robust modeling capabilities that have become the professional’s choice for 3D product development.
- Exceptional drawings and documentation. Professional drawings are fast, associative, and production-ready. Whether you prefer 2D drawings or 3D annotations, 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS has the documentation tools to bring your ideas from design to production with ease.
- Always up to date. New performance and capability enhancements are released throughout the year, ensuring you are always working with the latest and greatest product development tools on the market.
Hassle-Free Design
- CAD-aware storage. Unlike standard cloud storage providers, 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS comes with CAD-aware cloud storage that is made to handle relationships between CAD files.
- Single source of truth. Data is securely stored in one place, so it’s easily accessible on the cloud, from any device, keeping everyone aligned, and providing a single source of truth without the need to invest time and money in a server.
- Focus on design. With complete visibility and control, you have more time to focus your creative energy on design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? See answers to common 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS inquiries below.
Is 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS the same as SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD?
3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS has the same 3D CAD functions, capabilities, and user interface as SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD. The main difference between the two is how they are purchased and deployed: 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS uses a named user license and is deployed from the cloud, allowing it to be installed on any PC. SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD uses a term license or perpetual license with subscription services and can be installed on one PC.
Are 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS files and SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD files compatible?
Yes, they are the same file types. 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD files are 100% compatible.
What is SOLIDWORKS Connected? Is it the same as 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS?
SOLIDWORKS Connected is an application included with 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS. SOLIDWORKS Connected provides access to all of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform services and tools that you are entitled to based on your license.
Is 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS the same as SOLIDWORKS Cloud?
3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS is a parametric modeling software deployed through a named user license. 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS is installed locally, but can be installed and accessed on multiple devices via your named user license. 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS has the same 3D CAD functions, capabilities, and user interface as SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD. SOLIDWORKS Cloud is a collection of entirely next-generation, browser-based modeling tools that can be used on any device, anywhere, at any time.
What are the benefits of named user licensing?
Named user Licensing offers many advantages in terms of cost, access, and flexibility. Benefits include:
- Lower upfront costs
- No local server is required for license hosting
- Flexibility to log in and securely access software on multiple devices
- Flexibility to change products at the end of each term
- Administrators can easily adjust software access for individuals or groups of users
- No serial numbers to manage and store
- Immediate access to software upgrades
Is 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS secure?
Security, privacy, and quality is at the centre of 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS. Our solutions are ISO-certified and are built with respect for the privacy of our clients and users. Visit the Dassault Systemes trust centre to learn more about data protection compliance, information security certifications, and privacy information management.
Does 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS run on the cloud?
3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS is a locally-installed program deployed from the cloud. A named user license gives you the flexibility to install 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS on multiple devices.
