Abstract
Today Industry 4.0 mark the fourth industrial revolution. That’s why, engineering Schools currently face the challenge to train their students for the forthcoming this new industry, which is based on the use of the internet technology. The Software-as-a- Service (SaaS) mode, a form of cloud computing, become widely used by industrials. New developed CAD solutions which are distributed as (SaaS), present a part of the evolution new generation software. Concerned about the quality of its engineering students training, Université de Technologie de Compiègne (UTC) aims to implement 3DEXPERIENCE the “Business Experience Platform” which is one of the proposed solutions in the market, instead of Catia, in order to prepare future engineers integrating industry4.0. Hence, in this paper we present a study aiming at identifying, analyzing and evaluating the capacities of Cloud-based CAD software, with an especial focus on 3D Experience. From literature review, presented in the second section, we extract criteria considered for the evaluation. After the presentation of 3DEXPERIENCE, in the third section, we experiment it in the fourth section, on the basis of extracted criteria, and we discuss the evaluation results that allow us to compare 3DEXPERIENCE to OnShape and Fusion360 already evaluated in our previous work.
