Released on: November 10, 2023


The 2024x release introduces general modeling and infrastructure, as well as collaborative modeling enhancements.

For general modeling and infrastructure, this release presents the DSLS licensing option, the ability to zoom the Modeling Browser using keyboard shortcuts, and additional Legend adornment properties in Tables. Additionally, OpenJDK is now updated to version 17.0.8+7, CentOS Linux 7 is now replaced with Oracle Linux 8.8 support, and the JavaScript Rhino engine is now upgraded from 1.7R4 to the 1.7.13 version.

Several features have been discontinued with the 2024x version, such as the JavaScript Nashorn language usage, Record Macro functionality, and the SPEM plugin.

We have exciting news for collaborative modeling, as well. The new file exchange format .szip is now out of technology preview and was improved with a UI dialog for ease of use. Also, we introduce a major new feature: the Model Patch mechanism, a significantly lighter solution to move project changes. There are enhancements for 3DEXPERIENCEprojects, too; you can now manage used projects more easily and open certain projects in a read-only mode.

To download the latest version of the modeling tool, see Downloading installation files. For further information, check the product documentation.

New File Exchange Format for Server Projects

In version 2022x Refresh2, we introduced .szip – a new server project exchange format. It addresses the issues of slow performance and project structural changes associated with the .mdzip format. Using .szip, you can export and import projects more quickly without altering the project structure.

In version 2024x, we further improved the .szip format by introducing a new UI dialog that allows you to select which projects you want to import to the server and which to skip. This gives you greater control over the file exchange process.


The charts below depict how the .szip project format increases the performance of project export and import operations when compared to .mdzip. Depending on the project size element and used project count-wise, the performance gain for export can vary between 2-20 times, while the project import speed has been increased by roughly 40%.


Comparing the import and export performance of Project #1 (1M elements, 57 Used Projects), Project #2 (2M elements, 7 Used Projects), and Project #3 (2M+ elements, 3 Used Projects).


Model Patch Mechanism (Technology Preview)

We introduce the technology preview of the Model Patch mechanism, a more lightweight way to move model changes. Model Patch can help you:

  • Move changes from one branch to another without the need to perform a full Merge operation, which can be slow and cumbersome;
  • Transfer only a specific scope of model changes between disconnected teams instead of the entire model;
  • Reuse only the necessary subset of an external model as an alternative to bringing in the whole model as a Used Project.

New Features to Manage Used Projects

We added new features that provide you with better capabilities to manage used projects in 3DEXPERIENCE:

  • Export packages as a new server project;
  • Move elements to/from used projects;
  • Import used projects.

Opening Projects in Read-Only Mode

Beginning with version 2024x, you can open 3D EXPERIENCE projects in Read-Only mode. Projects open in this mode with a balloon notification if you do not have the necessary access rights or if the project is in Read-Only mode because of its maturity state.

Notification informing the user that the 3DEXPERIENCE project is read-only.
