3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS

Handle all aspects of your part and assembly design to transform your ideas into 3D models.

Create production-ready 2D drawings that are always current and clearly communicate how to manufacture and assemble your designs.

Easily analyze, compare, check, and report on your designs.

Simplify the reuse of existing design data and speed up the creation of new designs with search, automation and configuration tools.

Before going into production, verify in 2D and 3D that your parts and assemblies will fit, assemble, and operate correctly.

Review your designs for draft, undercut, thickness, and hole alignments early in the development process to ensure manufacturability.

Convert incoming CAD data into SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD format and export SOLIDWORKS data to other CAD applications using more than 30 translators.

Export CAD data for AR, VR and web viewing experiences while retaining geometry, appearance, motion studies, display states and more.

Establish design standards and check drawings or models against them to create uniform designs and documentation.

Automatically check the effects of tolerances on parts and assemblies to ensure consistent fit of components and verify tolerancing schemes before manufacturing your designs.

Continuously check your designs against cost targets with integrated automatic cost estimation tools.

Recreate designs with the ability to import, edit, evaluate, and create solid geometry from scanned point-cloud and mesh data.

Easily create photographic-quality images from your 3D models early in the design process to get feedback and make informed design decisions.

Flatten complex, nondevelopable surfaces typically encountered in products made from textiles, like clothing, or sheet metal, like metal stampings.

Simplify the design and documentation of piping and tubing for a wide range of systems and applications, including machinery, skid systems, and process plant piping.

Quickly add cables, wires, and harnesses to your design. Create flattened drawing representations of your 3D cables and harnesses with wire lists, connection information, and bills of materials.

Route rectangular and round sections that include ducting, cable trays, conveyors, material handling chutes, and other systems.

Realistically visualize your product moving throughout its operational cycle world, measure the forces and loads on your design, and use the data to correctly size motors and ensure product performance, quality, and safety.

Create, review, and evaluate 3D models through an intuitive parametric modeling solution. Understand structural requirements due to defined loads and constraints before creating geometry, through an easy exploration of optimal material distribution with Design Guidance.

Calculate the stresses and deformations of geometry using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methods, and run linear stress analyses to determine the response, performance, and safety of parts and assemblies.

Create organic shapes quickly and easily with an intuitive modeling solution that uses push-pull interactions to shape your design. This tool also automatically converts sub-d surfaces to geometry.

Store, share, access, and manage the latest product design information from a centralized, secure location.

Manage the lifecycle of any type of content, such as CAD files, simulation models, and documentation, across disciplines and CAD solutions. Track issues, changes, and routes, and reduce conflicting edits from multiple contributors using revision control.

Collaborate in real time using configurable dashboards, social communities, Kanban-style task management, activity streams, chat, and video calls. Easily search, visualize, explore, and mark up SOLIDWORKS and other files directly in your browser.

Monitor license usage, manage members, and assign and remove licenses from a single administrative dashboard, lowering administrative overhead. Easily stay up-to-date and benefit from the latest enhancements.
