The Latest Tools to Eliminate SOLIDWORKS Large Assembly Issues

Learn practical ways to improve large assembly performance in SOLIDWORKS, extend workflows with CATIA and xDesign, and reduce repetitive work with AI tools like AURA and LEO.

Improve Performance. Reduce Repetition.

Engineers working with large assemblies in SOLIDWORKS often run into slow performance, long rebuild times, and stability issues as designs grow. This session focuses on practical strategies to improve performance using proven SOLIDWORKS techniques, while introducing tools like xDesign and CATIA to extend your workflow when needed. We will also cover how AI tools like AURA and LEO help reduce repetitive tasks and improve day-to-day efficiencies across your design process.
