xFrame

You can use xFrame to create welded structures for machines. xFrame is a cloud-based app that is available on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. You can access this app using the 3D Structure Creator role.

xFrame provides the following key capabilities:

  • Creates a basic structure framework using sketch elements.
  • Creates structure profiles that you can use in structure systems.
  • Creates structure members from an existing framework.
  • Performs corner treatment on members using corner trimming tools.
  • Requires no software installation, configuration, or management. You are always working with the latest version.
  • Works with desktop and touch devices.
  • Integrates with PartSupply so you can search, access, and use 3D components provided by suppliers and manufacturers.
  • Collaborates with the 3D Play Platform app to view the structures created in xFrame.
  • Collaborates with the SOLIDWORKS Drafting Desktop app to create the drawings of xFrame structural members.
    Note: You can access this app using the Drafter and Enovia Exchange Management roles.
