SOLIDWORKS Costing

SOLIDWORKS costing is here to help calculate the manufacturing cost for sheet metal, fabricating weldments, creating machined parts, casting, plastic molded parts, 3D printing prototypes and assembly costs. Let SOLIDWORKS costing automate your estimation and quotation process.

 

Circuitworks

CircuitWorks allows users to create 3D models in SOLIDWORKS from common industry standard ECAD files like IDF, IDX and PADS ASCII. CircuitWorks has its own, dedicated user interface and a SOLIDWORKS user interface. Communication between UI is bi-directional making it easy to modify your circuit board layout, while visualizing your changes in SOLIDWORKS.  

 

 

Design Checker

Produce the best version of your product with design checker. Use design checker as a validation step in your workflow for dimensioning standards, fonts, materials, and sketches to ensure the product meets your standards.    

 

 

Edrawings Professional

Increase your team’s productivity by marking up the design, checking measurements or taking a quick cross section view in eDrawings Professional. Whether you need to share 3D and 2D cad models to the shop floor or send them to your manager to advance the project to the next stage, eDrawings is here to accelerate the design process. eDrawings Pro allows engineering teams to quick and conveniently collaborate about their designs.  

 

 

Tolanalyst

TolAnalyst or Tolerance Analysis is used to review and verify tolerances between features in an assembly to ensure proper alignment when being assembled. TolAnalyst is used to report the effects of dimensional stack up, reducing risks for the end user assembling the product.  

 

 

SOLIDWORKS Visualize

Reduce your time to market by creating photorealistic renderings of your models. Save money on costly cameras, lighting, backgrounds and creating prototypes with Visualize standard. Apply different colors and materials from a built-in library to enhance the way your product appears. Quickly produce high quality renderings through the design process and marketing phase to ensure you are producing the best version of your final product.

 

 

SOLIDWORKS FILE MANAGEMENT

Every company has a workflow whether it is well known or not. SOLIDWORKS PDM (Product Data Management) Standard integrates your workflow to manage the life cycle of your CAD data and any related documents. PDM also manages the history of your CAD file and keeps track of file references. You no longer need to worry about renaming or moving files. Rid yourself of maintaining version control and file management concerns with SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard.  

 

 

Scanto3D

ScanTo3D provides users a series of tools to import, prepare and convert scanned data into useable surface or solid geometry. Whether you are an engineer looking to recreate a discontinued part, or a consumer product designer creating a representation of a physical model, ScanTo3D is here to make the conversion process simple. 

 

 

 

Time-Based Motion Analysis

Set up your motion study to capture a presentation worthy animation, that accounts for mass of parts, contact between components and gravity. Use motion analysis to simulate and evaluate the motion of components in your assembly by applying forces, friction, springs, and dampers. Motion analysis has a built-in kinematic solver that considers motion constraints, material properties, collisions, and mass. Understand how your assembly will move with motion studies.  

 

 

Linear Static Analysis

SOLIDWORKS simulation is one of the most popular Finite element Analysis tools on the market. Making it easier to collaborate amongst SOLIDWORKS users to ensure your product is the best version of itself. Static analysis for parts & assemblies allows for easy stabilization of your model by applying fixed restraints. SOLIDWORKS simulation will save you on costly prototyping, analyzing field failures and ultimately protecting your product reputation.  

 

 

 

PIPE and Tube Routing

SOLIDWORKS routing does the leg work for generating pipes and tube paths between components. Out of the box SOLIDWORKS has a time saving amount of predesigned fitting for your routing needs. As you create your pipe and tube route, SOLIDWORKS handles the organization of your feature manager making it easy for design change.   

 

 

 

SOLIDWORKS WIRING

SOLIDWORKS routing saves time and material by accurately placing electric cables and wiring harnesses for your electrical route. You can Import from-to lists to quickly generate your electrical route which can easily be sent to a drawing to display the flattened electrical harness. Take advantage of the library of electrical connectors to quickly route your electrical cables and wiring harnesses.   

 

 

Advanced Surface Flattening

Whether you are trying to make decals for your product, or if you need a template to accurately cut material, SOLIDWORKS surface flatten is here to help. SOLIDWORKS advanced surface flatten is great for generating flat patterns of faces and surfaces of your model.  

 

 

 

Rectangular and other section routing

Take advantage of the existing ducting and cable tray components in the design library. These intelligent components are easily customizable using built in design tables. Laying out your ducting has never been easier. Simply drag and drop components from the design library to modify and update your route.

 

 

 

Catia v5 import

SOLIDWORKS CATIA V5 Import uses 3D Interconnect expertise, allowing designers to effortlessly incorporate CATIA files directly into their SOLIDWORKS models.
