PLM & Cloud Platform · Solution Partner
Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform lets you store your SOLIDWORKS designs in the cloud, manage their revisions and work with your team, customers and suppliers in one shared environment. MAGEN plans your move with you, from choosing the right roles to setup and training.
3DEXPERIENCE Works
3DEXPERIENCE Works is the 3DEXPERIENCE portfolio Dassault Systèmes offers to SOLIDWORKS users and growing businesses. Design, data management, collaboration and simulation apps are packaged as roles, so you only take what you need.
What Is 3DEXPERIENCE?
3DEXPERIENCE brings your design data, the people who work with it and the apps they use together on a single cloud platform. Parts, assemblies and drawings saved from SOLIDWORKS are stored on the platform with their revisions, and everyone you authorize can reach the latest data from a browser, from different computers or from mobile devices.
The platform is role-based: each user gets a role that bundles the apps their job needs. Start with data management, then add browser-based design, project management or simulation roles as you grow. At MAGEN we review your current SOLIDWORKS setup and work out with you which roles to start with.
Why 3DEXPERIENCE?
Data management, teamwork and secure sharing, without setting up or maintaining servers.
There is no server, backup routine or extra software infrastructure to set up for data management. With the 3DEXPERIENCE panel inside SOLIDWORKS you save files straight to the platform and see who is working on which file, its status and its revision in one place.
Team members in different offices, on site or working from home reach the same design data at the same time. Instead of passing files around by e-mail, everyone works on the current version on the platform, and discussions, tasks and documents stay with the project.
Share a design with a link. Your customer or supplier can review the model and leave comments from a browser or a phone without installing SOLIDWORKS. Collect feedback with controlled access instead of sending files.
Manage changes, approvals and tasks on the platform, and follow the revision history and lifecycle state of every part. Because everyone knows which version is current, the risk of sending the wrong one to production goes down.
A two-person design team and a company with several departments use the same platform. Access is controlled by user and role permissions, and new users or roles are added without changing any infrastructure.
Working With SOLIDWORKS
You can connect the desktop SOLIDWORKS you use today to the platform with the Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS role. Saving, locking, revisions and lifecycle actions are handled through the 3DEXPERIENCE panel inside SOLIDWORKS, without leaving the interface you know.
If you are planning new licenses, the 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS offers (Standard, Professional, Premium) combine desktop SOLIDWORKS with platform roles. The license belongs to the user, runs on the computer where you sign in with your platform account and makes moving to the latest release easier.

Role-Based Solutions
On 3DEXPERIENCE, each role bundles the apps prepared for a specific job. These are the roles SOLIDWORKS teams choose most often:
Connects desktop SOLIDWORKS to the platform. Save, lock and revise files from inside SOLIDWORKS, and manage product structure and lifecycle state without leaving it.
The collaboration foundation of the platform: dashboards, communities, cloud file storage, 3D viewing and markup in the browser, tasks and access to product data. It also suits team members who are not designers.
Parametric 3D modeling that runs in the browser (xDesign). Design from different devices with nothing to install; models are stored directly on the platform and can be used alongside SOLIDWORKS.
Shape organic and ergonomic forms quickly with subdivision (SubD) surfaces (xShape). Concept shapes can be carried over into the engineering model.
Manage engineering changes and release processes. Track which part changed, why, by whom and with which approval, so only released data goes to production.
Manage project plans, tasks, deadlines and resources on the same platform as your design data, and follow progress on dashboards.
Role contents and packaging may be updated by Dassault Systèmes. We confirm the current scope and the right mix of roles for you at the quotation stage.
3DEXPERIENCE SIMULIA
MAGEN Support
We review your team’s workflow and identify which user needs which role, so you can start without buying more licenses than you need.
We set up your platform environment, users, permissions and the SOLIDWORKS connection, and plan the move of your existing files step by step.
We train your users on saving, revisions, sharing and collaboration on the platform, and stay with you for day-to-day questions.
Who Is 3DEXPERIENCE For?
Companies with several designers, teams spread across locations, frequent design exchanges with customers and suppliers, or no wish to run servers for data management get the most out of 3DEXPERIENCE.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. 3DEXPERIENCE complements SOLIDWORKS with cloud data management, collaboration and additional apps. You still design in desktop SOLIDWORKS and manage your data on the platform, and you can add browser-based design roles if you wish.
Yes. You can connect your desktop SOLIDWORKS to the platform with the Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS role. SOLIDWORKS users on active subscription can also use some cloud sharing services; we confirm the exact scope for your license with you.
SOLIDWORKS PDM manages your data in a vault on your own server. 3DEXPERIENCE runs in the cloud, needs no server or maintenance and comes with browser apps and collaboration tools. The right choice depends on your team structure, your IT setup and how you work with partners, and we assess it with you. See the SOLIDWORKS PDM page for details.
Data is stored on Dassault Systèmes’ cloud infrastructure. Who can see and change which data is defined by user and role permissions, and external sharing happens through controlled links.
Because the platform is cloud-based, saving data, sharing and the browser apps work over an internet connection. We review your connectivity and working conditions with you before setup.
Teams that use SOLIDWORKS usually start with Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS and collaboration roles. Viewing and collaboration can be added for non-designers, and SIMULIA roles for people who run analyses. We prepare a recommendation for your workflow during the demo.
Yes. Fill in the form and we will show you the platform on an example close to your workflow and choose the right roles with you.
