SolidWorks Sustainability
SolidWorks Sustainability Overview
SolidWorks Sustainability provides a practical tool for implementing corporate environmentally conscious initiatives. This is done by looking at four key indicators: carbon footprint, total energy consumed, impact on air and water. By measuring these indicators, a thorough understanding of the impact that decisions we make have on sustainability through the entire life of a product - enabling more environmentally conscious decisions to be made.
Conduct life cycle assessment (LCA) on parts or assemblies directly within the design window. Search for comparable materials and see in real time how they affect environmental impact. Create detailed reports that explain a design’s sustainability.
These are just some of the functional benefits that SolidWorks Sustainability brings to sustainable design. You will have one integrated system that lets you design for the environment while creating great products and still meeting deadlines.
SolidWorks Sustainability Advantages
SolidWorks Sustainability technology enables you to quickly and easily assess the environmental impact of your design to create more sustainable products. The software integrates powerful Life Cycle Assessment-based tools into your established design process, measuring the environmental impacts of Carbon, Energy, Air and Water. The material selection tool provides instant feedback to help you choose the most environmentally-friendly material for a particular design.
- Seamless integration within the SolidWorks 3D CAD application interface.
- Easy to read graphic display of a design's carbon footprint, energy consumption, and water and air pollutants
- Easily establish a environmental profile to compare design variations
- The material selection tool provides instant feedback to help you choose the most environmentally-friendly material for a particular design.
- Enable technical and non-technical staff to collaborate effectively during documentation production.
- Download updates to the GaBi LCA database on the fly for new material as they become available.
