| Part and Assembly Modeling |
|
|
|
| Handle all aspects of your part and assembly modeling and transform ideas and concepts into virtual 3D models. |
| 2D Design |
|
|
|
| Create production-ready 2D drawings that are always current and clearly communicate how to manufacture and assemble your designs. |
| Productivity Tools |
|
|
|
| Easily analyze, compare, check and report on your designs. |
| Design Reuse and Automation |
|
|
|
| Simplify the reuse of existing design data with search, automation and configuration tools that help you speed up the creation of new designs. |
| Interference Check |
|
|
|
| Before going into production, verify in 2D and 3D that your parts and assemblies will fit, assemble and operate correctly. |
| Manufacturability Checks |
|
|
|
| Review your designs for Draft, Undercut, Thickness and Hole Alignments early in the development process to ensure manufacturability. |
| Advanced CAD File Import/Export |
|
|
|
| Convert incoming CAD data into SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD format and export SOLIDWORKS data to other CAD applications using 30+ translators. |
| Xtended Reality (XR) Exporter |
|
|
|
| Export CAD data for AR, VR and web viewing experiences while retaining geometry, appearance, motion studies, display states and more. |
| CAD Standards Checking (Design Checker) |
|
|
|
| Establish design standards and check drawings (or models) against them to create uniform designs and documentation. |
| Automated Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis (TolAnalyst) |
|
|
|
| Automatically check the effects of tolerances on parts and assemblies to ensure consistent fit of components and verify tolerancing schemes before manufacturing your designs. |
| Design for Cost (SOLIDWORKS Costing) |
|
|
|
| Continuously check your designs against cost targets with automatic cost estimation tools fully integrated within the 3D CAD solution. |
| Reverse Engineering (ScanTo3D) |
|
|
|
| Recreate designs with the ability to import, edit, evaluate and create solid geometry from scanned point-cloud and mesh data. |
| Advanced Photorealistic Rendering |
|
|
|
| Easily create photographic-quality images from your 3D models early in the design process to get feedback and make informed design decisions. |
| Advanced Surface Flattening |
|
|
|
| Flatten complex, nondevelopable surfaces typically encountered in products made from textiles, like clothing, or sheet metal, like metal stampings. |
| Pipe and Tube Routing |
|
|
|
| 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. |
| Electrical Cable and Wiring Harness Routing |
|
|
|
| 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. |
| Rectangular and Other Section Routing |
|
|
|
| Route rectangular and round sections that include ducting, cable trays, conveyors, material handling chutes and other systems. |
