DCS Training Lab Beta - Now Available! Sign Up Now to Get Access

Sep 20, 2018 10:12:56 AM

DCS Training Lab Beta is Now Available for All DCS Customers

The DCS Training Lab supplements DCS Training by providing example cases to learn advanced moves and to practice modeling conditions. 

The DCS Training Lab, created in partnership with HANALL Technology, offers you the ability to supplement your 3DCS modeling at your own pace. The Lab is split into three primary sections, designed to teach basic and advanced skills, and offering guided walkthroughs for building models. 

Pre-Requisites: Completion of 3DCS Tutorial (for 3DCS Users)

QDM Users - The DCS Training Lab contains Tutorials and guided learning for new and experience users. 

Where do I find the 3DCS Tutorial?

The DCS Training Lab does not teach basic 3DCS skills, but offers advanced application, use case examples and guided modeling experiences. In doing so, it assumes the user knows how the functions and basic features of 3DCS work. These exercises are designed to advanced your modeling skills past the Basic Training and Tutorial and help apply them to industry models. It does not replace Basic Training and is highly recommended that users begin with the 3DCS Tutorial and Basic Training before using the Training Lab. 

I finished Basic Training, now what? What's next? The DCS Training Lab is designed to be the answer. 

The 3DCS Tutorial is automatically installed with 3DCS Software. It can be found on most machines at: C:\Users\Public\Documents\DCS\ 

The 3DCS Basic Training covers the tutorial and additional modeling tips and best practices. It is highly recommended to have some experience with 3DCS before using the Training Lab.
