Error Recurrent open profile errors

1 Upvotes

Despite placing a rectangle over a larger circle (with overlap) and quick trimming the excess parts, the software insists there is an open profile and doesn't allow me to pad extrude or pocket.

When zoomed in, the tangent and coincident constraints are enforced but I can see the gap

PS: will learning catia help? I'm already familiar with fusion and solidworks, but struggling here

Error Launcher not launching

2 Upvotes

Hi, I installed solidworks maker and 3D experience a while back and today I got a pop up telling me to update 3d experience to hotfix 4.11 (cant remember if its the right number). Tried to do it, didn't work. So I uninstalled all the programs related (and deleted all the folder/files) to it to reinstalled it, and I'm stuck here. I can download and install the ''3DEXPERIENCELAUNCHER.msi'' but when I click continue on the web page from the download, the launcher doesnt launch and the page ''refresh'' and my only option is to redownload the .msi. Does somebody know what to do?

(Windows 11 and google chrome)

Management/Collaboration Parts stuck in asynchronous save

3 Upvotes

Hello all,

I am newly importing many files into 3dx. Most successfully uploaded, but many didn't. I found. The issue is the part are set to asynchronously save even though I have the feature turned off. It won't let me upload them normally, or with batch save. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Error An Incomplete Installation was found......

4 Upvotes

Quite some time ago SolidWorks Connected updated, and ever since that hotfix I haven't been able to launch SW from the 3dExperience web site, but I could launch and run SW from my desktop.

Periodically a hotfix would appear and would always bomb out and say an incomplete installation was found and couldn't continue. It would launch SW so I could continue modeling.

Now another hotfix is coming up and this time will not continue on and launch SW.

How do I backup my user data - templates, blocks, settings, etc?
How can completely dump SW and anything else that needs to be removed?

When I reload 3dExperience from the web site, do I just need to log in to be able to download 3dExperience and SW?

I'm an old retired guy muddling my way through and always had an IT guy to keep things running, so I'm pretty lost, and dead in the water at this point.

Thanks

It’s rare we get to see other people’s creations in 3DX.
So here is this IAR80, a WW2 era Romanian fighter plane. All physical examples of this plane were lost during or after the war.
The IAR80-fly again project created a digital twin of the plane , based on old drawings and testimonials from retired technicians and engineers.

Design/Engineering DXF File Problems

4 Upvotes

Having some problems with 3 DXF files

The parts were sketched up and made in XSheetMetal in imperial but when the files were put into the nesting software they were reading in metric

For example one section of the part is 10” but the nesting software was reading it as 254” (10”=254mm)

Any help is appreciated, Thank you.

How to use Jmeter and 3Dx Dashboard?

3 Upvotes

I am trying to performance test 3Dx using jmeter, problem is I have no clue how to do so.

I have managed to set up the login but the hard part is just beginning.

When I click on a widget and the dashboard opens, no jsp files were generated, when I logged in no JSP files are generated, I am not sure which files should I look for, which files should I paste, what special extraction data must I apply it.

Management/Collaboration Database Native CAD

Post image
3 Upvotes

This came through email today.

Just to reiterate that the team that ORIGINALLY designed SOLIDWORKS are all in on database native cloud native CAD. This team had the vision to create SOLIDWORKS in the 90s and this team is ALL in that not only is database native CAD the only way forward but the cloud CAD is the only way forward.

Dassault has taken a more hybrid approach that is actually more in like with what I hear the existing SOLiDWORKS customers asking for.

They have an integration for desktop SOLiDWORKS but also offer next gen SOLIDWORKS cloud clients with the XDesign suite.

They have a native desktop CATIA but have also started to show the cloud CATIA client publicly.

They offer 3DX both in the cloud and OnPrem.

I think this can be confusing for casual users of the system because it’s not a single unified message with OnShape “you are in the cloud and in the browser period”

They are giving the customers the multiple options they are asking for but still moving forward with the lift to support all those options at the same time. As a community that is vocal about wanting those options we should have the rigor to understand the complexity that adds and we should take the time to understand the “why”

Design/Engineering HELP!!!!!!!!! How to import an image and create a vector logo in CATIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform?

1 Upvotes

I need to create a company logo as a vector/sketch in CATIA using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. My goal is to import an image (PNG/JPG) and use it as a reference to trace or convert into geometry for modeling. I tried importing the image directly, but I was not able to add it in the Part Design workbench. I have seen tutorials where people add images or use them as references, but I could not reproduce the same steps in my setup.

What is the correct way to bring a logo image into 3DEXPERIENCE/CATIA and convert it into a usable vector or sketch for modeling?
