3DEXPERIENCE Deployment @ University Campus

Aiming to deploy an integrated Product Lifecycle Management solution the Production and Product Design Engineering of Paris-Est Marne La-Vallée University decided to employ Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE software. The purpose of this Digital Tool is to set up a single platform whose function is to manage, generate and use technical data throughout the life of all Master Projects. The implementation of this software allowed the complete replacement of various tools used previously  such as Excel, SolidWorks, CATIA V5, Windchild, MEGA. This is intended to standardize the process of solution conception, allowing to track the Key Performance Indicators evaluating their progress and making decisions in anticipation of possible tasks that may compromise project development. In this sense, the clients are therefore the service managers but also all the students joining the Master. This deployment being part of one of the projects assumed by the university 2018-2019 was divided into 3 phases. Each one of the phases have been driven and managed by the master's students.                                                                                           Phase 1                                                                                                                                                                       Knowing the 3D-EXPERIENCE software                              

1. Main tools 
2. Create a Dashboard for projects
3. Self-training in Project Management

Phase 2                                                                                                                                                                                        Administration

1. Access to students and installation of the software
2. Project planning and resource allocation
3. Training: Creation of tutorials and training manuals
4. Dashboard for project monitoring and data

  Migration

1. Architecture diagram
2. Creating folders 
3. Migration of all documents and data

  Digital Model

1. Naming folders
2. Creation of the Structure
3. Usage Tutorial

  Phase 3

1. Test Performed
2. Implementation and simulation
3. Consolidation of tutorials and training material for the next students

As core tool used in this development were:

• Project Management
• Project Gantt
• Collaborative Task
• Part Design
• Product Structure
• Assembly Design
• Mechanical Sys. Design
• 3DDrive
• 3DSpace
• 3DSwym
• Quick Links
• Web Page Reader

  The profits that it has brought us the implementation of the platform 3Dexperience have been:

• Data is now centralized on the same platform
• Increase in productivity in terms of planning
• Automatic generation of weekly investment tables per project per person
• Clarity in delivery times and people involved.
• Easy to visualize the Key Performance Indicators
