Modern design processes have a lot of complexity, with multiple design disciplines all contributing to the development of products that are routinely more complex than anything that has come before. 

One of the most common multidisciplinary intersections is between the electrical and mechanical teams, with electrical teams specifying circuits and connections to make a product work, and a mechanical team bearing responsibility for how those wires are routed throughout the system and captured in the product documentation. 

Exploring cutting-edge technology is always exciting, and you can peer into the future of CAD tools like SOLIDWORKS by checking out the SOLIDWORKS Cloud Offer. This collection of next-generation CAD applications, developed by the same team that is responsible for the development of desktop SOLIDWORKS, let you take a step into a design future where you’re not chained to the desktop computer in your office – design from anywhere, on any device, and always have your data at your fingertips. 

We’re really excited about some of the new developments within SOLIDWORKS 2022, as well as the performance enhancements that have been added to the latest release of the software. Explore some of the frequently asked questions surrounding the release!

Like most of us, you’ve likely heard of the 3DEXPERIENCE – the new design and business information platform from Dassault Systemes, makers of SOLIDWORKS. You likely don’t have a clear idea of what it actually does, however, and how it might affect you as a current SOLIDWORKS user. In this article, we’re going to try to change that!

Somewhere between late January and early February is my favorite time of the year – when I’m lucky enough to attend 3DEXPERIENCE World (formerly SOLIDWORKS World). It is a time to connect with others in the community and be inspired by the innovation and brilliance of SOLIDWORKS users around the world.
