Reduce design steps through dozens of timesaving innovations. Lessen visual clutter with the Heads-up User Interface, as well as a set of intuitive display and control functions. Robust, context-sensitive tool bars and customizable shortcut menus keep mouse travel and clicks to a minimum.
SolidWorks is such a robust and feature rich application that it is impractical to cover every minute detail and aspect of the software without overwhelming the user/reader.
This section will cover the top 10 highly rated features, in no particular order:
SWIFT let you spend time creating products that work well, instead of trying to make your software work for you. It automates time-consuming detail work and techniques, diagnosing and resolving problems related to feature order, mates, sketch relationships, and the application of dimensions.
SolidWorks Premium is performance tuned to handle your largest designs. The innovative SpeedPak technology enables you to create simplified versions of assemblies that speed assembly operations and drawing creation without sacrificing graphic details or drawing accuracy and at the same time improve your assembly’s performance.
Develop production quality engineering drawings, including all views, dimensions, tolerances, and bill of materials (BOMs) that automatically update each time you change your design. Use the familiar interface of DWGeditor to draw in 2D, as well as edit and maintain your existing DWG data files.
Leverage sheet-metal design capabilities, including edge flange, miter flange, selective fold/unfold, rip, tear, and auto-relief functionality. Design in flat or bent states with equal flexibility and create flat patterns automatically or instantly create sheet-metal designs directly from 3D solid models.
Import part geometry from other CAD systems, or use native SolidWorks to design mold and die tooling. Check and fix draft, undercut and thickness problems. Automatically identify parting lines and create parting surfaces so you can quickly and easily extract core, cavity or side-action geometry.
Sketch a layout for your frame and select a weldment profile. SolidWorks will automatically generate a weldment design in 3D. Capabilities include trimming and cutting members as well as creating welds, end caps and gussets. Generate precise manufacturing drawings with cut lengths for all segments.
Streamline the design of machinery, industrial equipment or processing facilities with automated design tasks for routing tubes, pipes, electrical cables and harnesses. Speed design development with a library of routed system fittings, harnessing documentation, and drag-and- drop components.
Enable bidirectional collaboration between electrical and mechanical design engineer to ensure printed circuit boards (PCBs) fit and function in mechanical products. Permit accurate cooling studies and reduce the chances of interference between PCB and mechanical components.
Import and share non-SolidWorks CAD data, preserve design intent, and make changes with FeatureWorks. Increase the value of translated files, while reducing the time spent rebuilding existing 3D models.
With SolidWorks Toolbox, SolidWorks Design ClipArt, and 3D ContentCentral, you have instant access to virtual encyclopedias comprising thousands of standard components.
With SolidWorks Simulation, you can improve product quality and safety by testing 3D CAD models under real-world conditions prior to manufacture. Easy-to-use design validation modules provide powerful capabilities that reduce the need for physical prototypes.
Enhance product quality by identifying areas prone to weakness and failure with SolidWorks Simulation - a powerful design validation and optimization software created for use by engineers and designers. Explore the benefits of first-pass design checks without incurring physical prototyping costs, and validate the structural integrity of components.
Streamline your design release process by automatically identifying elements inconsistent with your organization’s design standards. Locate and remedy potential errors before releasing designs.
SolidWorks TolAnalyst perform tolerance stack-up analysis and determine the effects that tolerances have on parts and assemblies, including maximum/minimum worst case tolerance stack-up analysis. Validate tolerances and make necessary tolerance changes until you achieve the desired tolerance stack-up results.
Study the physics of moving assemblies to help you refine designs, enhance reliability and ultimately reduce the need for physical prototypes.
Use a wizard-based tool for fluid flow simulation that displays results as slice places or flow trajectories.
Control CAD file revisions and manage project data securely and efficiently. Workgroup PDM automatically captures file revision histories and allows your product design team to access desired files instantly, determine who has worked on them and know when changes were made.
Protect your product design data with secure managed access to authorized individuals, over a network or via the web. In addition to internal users, you also can permit access to partners, customers, and your supply chain.
Help your design team avoid overwriting files, and assist purchasing and manufacturing in ordering and producing the correct parts, every time.
Quickly and easily find SolidWorks files by searching on metadata (Custom Properties).
I am interested in this course. It is essential need for the people who are working in designs. This course not only meet the objective but also satisfied my needs in design works. Moreover, the instructor can answer my questions thoroughly and he must cover the course. This course is gifted from my God for me.
