What's New SOLIDWORKS 2024

The new features of SOLIDWORKS 2024 focus on 3 aspects:

  • improved productivity
  • improved design
  • the implementation of new dimensions.

 

  • Create parts with multiple components
  • Create a family of constraints so that each time a component is selected, the same constraint is represented and pre-selected.
  • Lock rotation for concentric constraints
  • Save old versions and go back to previous versions (maximum: two years previous to year N)
  • Collaborate and share information with customers and suppliers. SOLIDWORKS connected to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform can be used to generate sharing links and send them to the people concerned. People receiving the link can view in 3D or add comments.
  • Download the assembly of parts
  • Search and organise CAD design data: block and unblock work in progress to prevent several people from editing the same part at the same time.

There are many new PDM features:

 

  • Extract files as soon as a revision is made
  • Colour some assembly properties (for example, according to the state of the assembly). It is no longer necessary to map PDM properties to SOLIDWORKS properties.
  • Add security to data access
  • Identify files more easily using a grid view: Web2 improvement
  • Compare 2 BOMs in PDM
  • Modify properties on several lines at the same time
  • Reuse batch numbers in PDM 2024
  • Copy files in PDM 2024 is now faster than in PDM 2023
  • xShape: for modelling complete organic components.
  • Lattice design: makes your components lighter while maintaining the integrity of the structure
  • Factory Simulation Engineer: simulates a production line

SOLIDWORKS®, design software

What is SOLIDWORKS ?

SOLIDWORKS has more than 5.6 million users worldwide, which represents more than 275 million companies who trust the solution and more than one million MySolidWorks members. This is the reference for design software in education and industry. SOLIDWORKS is 3D CAD software that enables you to design, create, validate, communicate, manage and transform your ideas into innovative products.

 

Increase your productivity, design your products and improve their quality to get them to market faster by using SOLIDWORKS for manufacturing, design, simulation and data management. The solution includes all aspects of the design which may mechanical or mechatronic.

What is SOLIDWORKS used for ?

  • Create photographic representations of your designs with SOLIDWORKS Visualize
  • Create fast, accurate designs with 3D models and 2D drawings of complex parts and assemblies, and share them with your team 
  • Insert screw and mechanical components into an assembly using Toolbox.
  • Use electrical solutions to simplify 3D drawings and design
  • Use integrated motion and stress analysis tools to eliminate errors, thanks to SOLIDWORKS Motion
  • Consider cost and manufacturability controls for design

 

What are the benefits of SOLIDWORKS ?

  • Improved productivity
  • Reduced manufacturing costs
  • Reduction of the design cycle
  • Improved quality and reliability of your products

SOLIDWORKS application fields

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
