No system lives in a silo. I've spent time on previous episodes mentioning different ways we can talk with other systems with SOLIDWORKS PDM. This week, I wanted to take a shallow dive into how we would do this using other tools. I talk about DriveWorks and the different integration and Powerpacks that are available. After that, stick around to hear how the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform uses iPaas to send data to and pull data from the platform. This data can live virtually anywhere, which is part of what makes iPaas so cool!

It's been a while since I took a deep dive into a SOLIDWORKS PDM topic, so I figured I would jump back in with an upgrade discussion. This is probably the topic I cover the most. This week, I'm going to go through why you might upgrade, what that means for your servers, and some of the key points to consider when looking to upgrade.

I talked about 3DEXPERIENCE a few months back with Jordan Tadic. It was a great episode, but it left me wondering what was next. Fortunately, I've spent a lot of time over the past few months learning and growing my knowledge of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. This week, I brought in Mike Farley to talk with me about getting started with the Platform. We talk about the foundational roles that are your starting blocks and how you can get started with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform quickly and easily.

I mentioned that DriveWorks released version 18.1 a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't wait any longer, so this week, Aaron Winthers makes his InPOD debut, along with Derek Lawson, and we talk about our favorite enhancements. This isn't an ordinary service pack release! It's packed with great new features, including new dashboards and templates. Tune in and find out what function enhancement will help take Derek's rules from 75 characters to just 10!

Wrapping up our series of What's New in SOLIDWORKS 2021, we go through Simulation this week. Bill Reuss and Robert Warren join the podcast to talk SOLIDWORKS on a floppy disk (what?!), the coolest flow update you didn't know about, and SOLIDWORKS matching up with the industry standard terminology.

October is winding down, but we've still got some fun What's New coming at you. This week we took a short detour to talk about one of my favorite things we do at CATI/InFlow - Manufacturing Solutions. Everything from 3D printing, to scanning, to making parts for orders, we cover it all. Greg Austermann joins the podcast this week to give us an overview of what all of that means, as well as share the CATI feel-good story of 2020.

Jeff Sweeney, Ryan Dally, and Mike King joined me on InPOD this week to talk about what's new in SOLIDWORKS PDM and Manage. Everything from phone interruptions to what's new, we cover it all. We go through the enhancements we're excited about and why these enhancements are so great.

Last week was my Top 10 enhancements for SOLIDWORKS 2021. This week, Will Kefauver joined me on InPOD and we talked about what his favorite things are about the latest release. We talk about how SOLIDWORKS has made it so we don't have to jump between so many tools, how it's evolved to be like a mature girlfriend, and so much more.

Every year at our rollout events, we like to do a "Top 10 Enhancements". This year is no different, as we're doing several top 10 sessions during the virtual events. But I didn't want anyone to feel left out if they can't attend. This week, I take a look at my top 10 enhancements for SOLIDWORKS 2021. All month I'm talking with people around InFlow and CATI about what's new. But I covered everything this week from SOLIDWORKS to Composer, and of course, PDM.

Tomorrow starts October which means it's rollout season around the SOLIDWORKS community. And instead of doing in-person events this year, we've gone virtual. At InPOD, I'm going to be talking about What's New in SOLIDWORKS 2021 each week and going over some of the cool enhancements. We'll be going around CATI and InFlow to talk about the different features, as well as bringing in some new guests to the podcast. Check out the CATI and InFlow websites for more information about our rollout events!
