Includes 3D tools such as sheetmetal, weldments, mold tools, physical dynamics and a host of 2D drawing capabilities to get your design done faster, with less effort.
What does this do for you?
Focuses your attention on the design ideas, not the details of the documents.
Parametrically links all drawings, BOMS, cut lists to one idea. As the idea changes so does all of the supporting documentation.
Stand alone DWG file editor with an AutoCAD® -like interface
What does this do for you?
Users familiar with the AutoCAD® environment, who need to maintain legacy DWG files, will find this a useful, stand alone software.
Users can load the DWGeditor on up to 3 computers for each copy of SolidWorks on hand. This is an exceedingly cost effective way to maintain a 2D legacy data.
Data Translation
Included is the most robust import/export capabilities you'll find. Including: DWG, DXF, Inventor, PTC (Pro/e and Wildfire), CADKEY, SolidEdge, Unigraphics, Parosolid, ACIS, IGES, STEP
Ensures you can communicate with just about anyone both in terms of using their files and sending them your files.
SolidWorks SimulationXpress
Provides finite element analysis capabilities to single parts.
What does this do for you?
This is an introductory version of the Cosmos FEA product line. It provides the ability to test single parts for stress, strain and displacement given user defined loads and restraints.
An excellent tool for designers trying to verify ideas prior to fabrication.
FloXpress
A tool that delivers basic computational fluid dynamic analysis for internal flow systems.
What does this do for you?
The benefit of using this software is that it will validate your design ideas regarding flow through an internal system whether liquid or gas.
DriveWorksXpress
This is an introductory version of the DriveWorks product line. The easy to use design automation tool.
eDrawings is a free viewing and publishing application for sharing and archiving 2D and 3D product design data.
What does this do for you?
You can now have the ability deliver interactive 3D models for review.
Users can deliver 2D drawings that have all the 3D information built in as well.
This provides the reader to start with the 2D drawing and then venture into reviewing the 3D model as well.
eDrawings Professional
Upgrades your eDrawings to allow anyone to view, mark up, and measure your design ideas.
What does this do for you?
Creates documents that can be redlined and reviewed, electronically and in 3D to anyone with a computer
.Provides an excellent method for detailing ideas and generating interactive sales documents.
SolidWorks Utilities
Finds differences between two versions of the same part quickly and easily.
What does this do for you?
Identifies and highlights problematic geometry in a part.
Can find, modify and suppress features within a model.
Toolbox
Automate assembly tasks with a library of standard parts. This includes fasteners, structural steel, bearings, Unistrut, cam development tools, and more.
You can provide everyone from your staff to your customers with the visual information they need to give you important feedback without requiring them to install additional viewers.
SolidWorks Routing
Speed up the process of routing tubes, pipes and electrical cable as well as electrical harnesses. Streamline the design of machinery, equipment, or anything else that requires routing tubes, pipes along with electrical cables and harnesses using Routing.
What does this do for you?
Provides ability to layout pipes, conduits and tubes associated with the hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical subassemblies as you design
Enables you to verify the layouts, lengths and quantity of fittings in your design.
SolidWorks Simulation
State of the art finite element analysis tool that includes analysis for linear stress, strain, displacement. It includes a comprehensive materials library, and much more.
What does this do for you?
Provides you the opportunity to test your design before actually building it (e.g. verify whether a linkage will break under load, a pressure vessel can withstand designed pressures, test deflection of a weldment under load, etc….).
Provides analysis reports on how your design reacts to design loads for further analysis and review.
SolidWorks Motion
A kinematics tool that enables engineers to size motors, determine power consumption, layout linkages, develop cams, understand gear drives, size springs/dampers, and determine how contacting parts behave.
Bi-directional ECAD translator for SolidWorks. Read and write the industry standard IDF 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0 format files produced by Electrical CAD (ECAD) systems used for Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design. It can also read *.asc files from the Mentor PADS ECAD system.
The following is a description of the three basic SolidWorks packages available. The purpose of this document is to familiarize you with the details associated with each package and why they would be useful.
The standard in 3D mechanical design software. SolidWorks offers unmatched performance and value, leadership in innovation, and the largest community of users. No other CAD system allows you to get product design work done as quickly and accurately.
A robust 3D CAD solution that includes SolidWorks software, a product data management solution, and a full range of productivity and design communication tools that will benefit the individual or entire workgroup.
The complete 3D CAD product design solution, providing your team with all the mechanical design, verification, data management, and communication tools in one package.
