help Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE FAQ

Does 3DEXPERIENCE include CATIA and SOLIDWORKS?

3DEXPERIENCE can unify Dassault Systèmes brands such as CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, SIMULIA, and ENOVIA alongside CAD, simulation, and PLM workflows. That makes it broader than a single CAD desktop application ([Dassault Systèmes overview](https://www.3ds.com/technologies/)).

Can 3DEXPERIENCE run in the cloud, on company servers, or both?

Dassault Systèmes lists cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployment options for the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The right choice depends on data control, IT capacity, and how much administration the engineering organization wants to handle.

How is 3DEXPERIENCE different from using SOLIDWORKS alone?

SOLIDWORKS is primarily a CAD authoring tool, while 3DEXPERIENCE adds collaboration, product data management, lifecycle control, and simulation connections around design work. A team using only SOLIDWORKS may not need the broader platform unless it must coordinate many users, revisions, and departments.

Why can 3DEXPERIENCE feel too complex for a small engineering team?

The platform spans roles, permissions, data structures, approvals, and product lifecycle processes, so setup and administration become part of the project. A small team should test one workflow first instead of assuming it needs the full enterprise configuration.
