3DEXPERIENCE

3DEXPERIENCE PLM EXPRESS

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform offers both on-premise and on-cloud deployment options, each with distinct features to suit various organizational needs. Choosing between on-premise and on-cloud deployment depends on factors such as data sensitivity, regulatory requirements, IT capabilities, and the need for customization. Organizations should assess their specific needs to determine the most suitable deployment strategy. In short, on-premise is something YOU have to install, and on-cloud is SaaS (Software As A service); hence Dassault Systémes is hosting the server for you.

3DEXPERIENCE On-Premise

  • Data Control and Security: Deploying on-premise allows organizations to maintain full control over their data, ensuring compliance with specific regulatory requirements or internal policies.
  • Customization: On-premise installations offer greater flexibility for software customization and tailored configurations to meet specific business processes.
  • IT Infrastructure: This option requires investment in hardware and IT resources for installation, maintenance, and updates.
  • Offline Access: Users can access data and applications without relying on internet connectivity, ensuring continuity in case of network issues.

3DEXPERIENCE On Cloud

  • Scalability and Flexibility: The cloud-based platform allows for easy scaling of resources based on demand, accommodating business growth without significant upfront investments in hardware.
  • Accessibility: Users can access the platform from anywhere with an internet connection, facilitating remote work and global collaboration.
  • Reduced IT Overhead: Dassault Systèmes manages infrastructure maintenance, security, and updates, reducing the burden on internal IT teams.
  • Continuous Updates: The cloud platform receives regular updates, ensuring users have access to the latest features without manual intervention.

THE PRODTEX 3DX ON-PREMIS PLM EXPRESS PACKAGE

Prodtex has developed an all-in-one OnPremis package, which is very easy to deploy. No particular IT-expertise is necessary to deploy. Just un-zip-and-go! This will enable smaller enterprises, such as Tier-1 suppliers to work collaboratively with their OEM customers by having the same release and fix-pack on 3DEXPERIENCE. On-cloud updates to next release every November. You will never be able to send data from a higher release to a lower release; hence you will not be able to send data to your customer if your customer has a lower release (2026x to 2025x not possible)!

Prodtex can also prepare the OnPremis server so it has the same database extensions as the OEM customer, which means the attributes used for BOM lists are available and can be filled in before sending the data back to OEM.

  • The 3Dx PLM EXPRESS package enables smaller enterprises, such as Tier-1 suppliers to have their own OnPremis 3DEXPERIENCE platform locally in their own premises.
  • “OEM-compatible” means the suppliers are using the same version of 3DEXPERIENCE as the OEM.
  • Prodtex provides virtual 3DExperience servers for any release-level and any fixpack. We call this packaging The 3DEXPERIENCE PLM EXPRESS Package.
  • The 3Dx PLM EXPRESS package are very easy to deploy and govern just un-zip and go!
  • After projects are finished you can export lines/cells/equipment as 3DXMLs and store them in your file system. If needed in future project, just import it to the new server. No data conversion! 3DXML is a pack-and-go concept to transfer data between platforms without loosing any integrity of data.

The 3Dx PLM EXPRESS Package enables your local 3DEXPERIENCE ecosystem

  • OEMs probably want Tier-1’s to work on the OEM server but!
  • you might now want to share all your IP to the OEM – only the necessary IP for the project, not all your standards
  • you might have many Tier-2’s that you want to mange locally; hence to invite to your own premis, not the OEM.
  • Suppliers can have different 3DEXPERIENCE servers for different projects
  • A Tier-1 supplier is normally more project-centric compared to OEMs, which means once a project is completed you deliver to OEM customer and archieve 3DXML in a file system. It is not likely the data is used in future projects
  • Standard libraries are exported to 3DXML and ready for future project on new 3DEXPERIENCE servers
  • Different OEMs will most likely have different release levels, different fixpack requirements
  • Different OEMs will most likely have different customizations, such as attributes used in BOM lists that needs to be filled in.
  • Suppliers might want to use one server for each project even if it is for the same customer.
  • The opportunities are endless!
