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

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
