New on the manufacturing

• Check components before quoting, involve multiple manufacturing items, perform nesting at zero extra cost

PDM

• Access to PDM features from a new tab and check out with the GET command
• Easily access PDM files by opening a new window, and browse the selected item in a new window
• Define default display parameters and options for calculated BOMs

Simulation

• Fluidic and plastic simulation
• New general spring connector enables more accurate definition of a spring with stiffness in all orthogonal directions, as well as torsional and flexural stiffness
• Reuse of median node for meshing
• Improved axis connectors
• New spring connector and old connector available
• New connector for coupling and application of orthotopic properties
• Simulation and modeling of complex spring behaviors
• Reuse of meshing on parts that are used several times in an assembly

What are the benefits of SOLIDWORKS for design and engineering ?

• Create all your designs quickly and accurately with 3D models and 2D drawings of complex parts and assemblies
• Model-based definition (MBD) for complete 3D design documentation
• Design for cost and manufacturability with cost estimating tools and manufacturability checks
• Interact with team members and control revisions using standardised data management tools

Discipline :

• Equipment Systems
• Mechanical

Desktop solutions offer flexible licensing and deployment options hosted in a customer-managed infrastructure. This ensures that a company’s intellectual property (IP) remains under its control and on its managed hardware.

What are the SOLIDWORKS benefits for management ? 

• Improve business productivity by unifying your entire ecosystem connecting people, applications and data in real time
• Connect your team across design, manufacturing, marketing, and service in an integrated, on-site system.
• Organise and consolidate product data
• Benefit from integrated data and product lifecycle management. 
• Securely share real-time information and collaborate to drive sustainable innovation.

Discipline :

• Collaboration
• Develop and launch

Engineering data is often exported and converted, which can create inconsistencies and errors during manufacturing. It is therefore essential to reuse the original engineering data, reduce steps and avoid the time-consuming process of exporting data.

What are the benefits of SOLIDWORKS for manufacturing and production ?

• Enable design and manufacturing teams to work simultaneously
• Reduce design errors between each phase
• Accelerate the time to manufacturing

Discipline :

• Machining
• Quality Control

Simulation during the product development phase aims to accelerate design cycles. SOLIDWORKS Simulation provides a suite of simulation tools integrated with the SOLIDWORKS CAD environment. Simulation enables the evaluation of multiple design alternatives using virtual tests to improve product performance, reliability and quality before committing to costly and time-consuming physical prototypes.

What are the benefits of SOLIDWORKS for simulation ?

• Access simulation tools integrated with the SOLIDWORKS CAD design environment
• Run multiple simulation scenarios to determine the best options
• Reduce design cycles while improving innovation

Discipline :

• Computational Fluid Dynamics
• Plastic injection
• Structure

Use the SOLIDWORKS platform to visualise product images, create animations, interactive 3D content, graphic resources and marketing and sales support content.

What are the benefits of SOLIDWORKS for marketing and sales ?

• Visualise products in real quality with photorealistic product photos
• Create immersive virtual reality content to enhance internal evaluations
• Real-time information sharing with marketing and sales teams
• Easily reuse existing 3D models to create content and support

Discipline :

• Marketing content creation
