Prerequisites

These are the prerequisites required to install 3DEXPERIENCE.

This page discusses:

Server-Side Prerequisites

  • 3DEXPERIENCE server setup
  • Configuration of users with required roles and licenses
  • Unified X-CAD Design 3DEXPERIENCE R2022x

    Note: The installation of the Server-Side Integration occurs during the installation of the Unified X-CAD Design.

Note: For more information, see the 3DExperience Server Install and Administration Guide.

Client-Side Prerequisites

  • Platforms

    Windows 10 Professional and Enterprise 64 Bit supports the Connector for NX.

  • NX

    Supported Connector for NX versions.

    • NX 11.0 or later maintenance builds (64 Bit)
    • NX 12.0 or later maintenance builds (64 Bit)
    • NX 1899 Series (64 Bit)
    • NX 1926 Series (64 Bit)
    • NX 1953 Series (64 Bit)
    • NX 1980 Series (64 Bit)
      Note: Requires NX Open Toolkit (c_p_pauthor and DotNet Author) license for install time. Signing of the Connector libraries does not require an NX Open Toolkit license at runtime. (See Appendix: Signing the Integration DLL for this process.) If the NX Connector libraries are not signed, the NX Connector does require an NX Open Toolkit license at runtime.

  • IEFClient

    The PLM Collaboration Services for NX client is part of the XCADDesignConnectors common installer that installs the 3DEXPERIENCE Integration Exchange Framework Client (IEFClient) - 3DEXPERIENCE R2022x on the client machine.

    The IEFClient has additional requirements such as the JRE version.

    Note: For more information, see the Unified X-CAD Design documentation.

NX Open Toolkit License Prerequisites

  • Siemens NX Open Toolkit product (Application Programming Toolkit) Customization API
    • This license is a separate purchase from the Siemens NX software.
    • Use the license to generate keys to unlock (or sign) Dassault Systèmes provided DLL's.
    • Use only one toolkit license to generate the key; regardless of the number of users.
  • Use this toolkit; no exceptions because Dassault Systèmes does not provide the toolkit license, even temporarily.
  • Toolkit requirements:
    • Generate new keys when upgrading to a newer Dassault Systèmes GA Release.
    • Access the toolkit license to generate the license key used during the Connector for NX installation and setup.
  • Do not use the toolkit:
    • When updating to the latest available Dassault Systèmes HF/FP release, use existing keys.
    • When upgrading the CAD release level, no need for new keys.
  • Signing of the Connector libraries does not require an NX Open Toolkit license at runtime. (See Appendix: Signing the Integration DLL for this process.) If the NX Connector libraries are not signed, the NX Connector requires an NX Open Toolkit license at runtime.
