Leverage the power of the 3DEXPERIENCE

The 3DEXPERIENCE tool-set can offer ways of overcoming industry challenges and expediting learning curves for customers who want to work in a single source of truth environment. Many companies are now striving towards Building Lifecycle Management (BLM), and the tools available within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform will add significant value.

What the 3DEXPERIENCE platform gives you

Full Visibility of Actual Data Across the Building Lifecycle

• Automates the control of increasing levels of data across the lifecycle of the asset.
• Allows current data to be seen in context of the entire project, through facility management and operations.

Federated Data Using Standard Protocols, Common Data Environment

• Handles and integrates native data from different sources, e.g., Autodesk® (Revit®, Inventor®, AutoCAD®), Bentley®, Dassault Systèmes® (CATIA®, SOLIDWORKS®), Rhinoceros®, Tekla®, etc.
• Converts BIM data via IFC; Reads/writes IFC to a database in a cloud, accessible through web services.
• Centralizes data in a Common Data Environment (CDE), offering a Single Source of Truth.
• Supports the BIM protocol of “Work in Progress > Share > Publish > Record” processes.

Versioning of Data

• Displays only the latest version of data.
• Previous versions are available to view, if required, to understand changes.
• Removes the need for file transfer or management systems.

Change Management

• Tracks and controls changes in any part of the building lifecycle.
• Ensures every project stakeholder and contributor is included and consulted.

Plan of Work, Collaboration Process Map

• Integrates and supports the recognized Plans of Work (PoW) and Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) stages, with built-in client decision points.
• Ensures the completeness of data drops by using integrated approval and workflow processes.

Standard BIM Templates

• Creates and stores standard templates required for BIM process, e.g., Prequalification.
• Questionnaire and Model Production and Delivery Table (MPDT).

Extended Collaboration

• Enables seamless collaboration between owners, architects, engineers, building product manufacturers, fabricators, general contractors, subcontractors, and facility managers via portal technology.
• Supports data integration for end-to-end information flow.

User-Based Permissions and Role-Specific Access

• Restricts access to authorized, defined users based on role within or outside the organization for any type of data, to protect company-specific Intellectual Property (IP).
• Manages which users are permitted to take what actions within the system.

Full Traceability

• Holds a fully traceable record in the CDE of exactly who has done what, when, and why.

Compliance

• Makes compliance possible with local standards such as COBie and PAS1192.

Performance Management

• Reports on productivity, profit margin, and KPIs vs. baselines, past projects, or industry averages.
• Provides an online business dashboard.

Universal Access on the Cloud

• Operates seamlessly and intuitively via a web browser.
• Enables real-time collaboration among participants.

Open Standards

• Allows continued use of existing vendors and data assets.
• Enables future flexibility and data portability.
