As they create the next generation of innovative, complex aerospace
products and systems, designers and engineers must constantly innovate
to maximize performance, efficiency, and safety.
SolidWorks® software provides the full range of integrated modeling,
simulation, visualization, assembly design, and communication tools
that aerospace designers need to develop better products and systems
faster – and at lower cost.
Produce design iterations in less time.
 Thanks to SWIFT™ (SolidWorks Intelligent Feature Technology) and our
Heads-up Interface, they can deliver innovative, accurate 3D models
with fewer picks and clicks. The SolidWorks learning curve is short, so
beginners can design with expert-level skill. SolidWorks also offers:
- FeatureXpert. Add fillets and draft features to your models with speed and ease, instead of trial-and-error.
- Large Assembly capability. Model complete systems – even those with
tens of thousands of parts – in their entirety within SolidWorks.
- Fully associative top-down and bottom-up design techniques. Make a change – and SolidWorks applies it across your entire model.
- Drawing capabilities. Create and revise your drawings faster than
with 2D CAD systems – SolidWorks instantly and accurately translates
your 2D work to your 3D models.
- Advanced surfacing tools for creating complex aerodynamic shapes
and composite surfaces.
- Sheet-metal design tools with ready-made Smart Fasteners Technology.
- Configuration Management for parts and assemblies.
- Specialized routed system design tools for developing piping,
tubing, pneumatics, hydraulics, and electric cabling systems – and
integrating them with mechanical designs.
- Seamless, single-button integration of an extensive selection of SolidWorks Partner Solutions.
Reduce weight and costs.
 Before
you commit to costly physical prototypes, SolidWorks gives you tools to
optimize your models for weight and materials. SolidWorks also offers:
- Fully integrated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software. Eliminate
mechanism and structural design failure with stress, thermal,
kinematics, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis
capabilities.
- DFMXpress. Test your models for manufacturing issues on screen, instead of on the production floor.
Win new business.
SolidWorks gives you a competitive edge when it comes to winning new
business. Using tools like SolidWorks product data management software
and SolidWorks Search, you can quickly locate existing designs that
prove your experience and competence to prospects – and quote projects
faster. SolidWorks also offers:
- SolidWorks eDrawings®, DWGviewer, and 3D Instant Website. Securely and effectively communicate your work in 3D to any firm, regardless of their CAD platform.
- PhotoWorks™ and SolidWorks animation capabilities. Use
photorealistic renderings and animations to clearly demonstrate how
your products will look and perform.
Work with customer data.
SolidWorks helps you to ensure the accuracy of your designs by
giving you the ability to import your customers’ math models in
Unigraphics®/NX™, I-DEAS®, Pro/E®, DWG, VDAFS, IGES, STEP, and other
popular formats. SolidWorks also offers:
- ScanTo3D. Scan physical models and translate them into SolidWorks
parts that you can use, manipulate, and modify in your designs.
- FeatureWorks®. Edit and fine-tune imported designs in SolidWorks.
