Today’s industrial machinery customers demand products that will
reliably perform increasingly complex tasks. To answer competitive
challenges, manufacturers need them quickly – and delivered within
budget.
SolidWorks® software provides the full range of integrated modeling,
simulation, visualization, and communication tools that industrial
machinery and heavy equipment manufacturers need to design better
products faster – and at lower cost.
Quickly produce conceptual designs or configurations.
Using Instant3D, you can easily put design ideas onscreen as
workable conceptual machinery models by translating 2D sketches and
photos into 3D solids. SolidWorks also offers:
- SolidWorks Enterprise PDM. Quickly locate existing similar designs by file name or attributes.
- SolidWorks Search. Find similar product designs and reuse data.
- DriveWorksXpress®. Automate repetitive design tasks and generation of parts, assemblies, and drawings.
- SolidWorks eDrawings®
files, DWGviewer, and 3D Instant Website. Securely and effectively
communicate your ideas 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.
Produce design iterations in less time.
More than ever, your teams need to quickly turn around precision
designs. Thanks to SWIFT™ (SolidWorks Intelligent Feature Technology)
and our Heads-up Interface, they can deliver innovative, accurate 3D
models with fewer picks and clicks. With a short learning curve, beginners can design with expert-level skill. SoldWorks offers:
- Specialized weldments, mold, and sheet-metal design tools.
- DimXpert. Automate drawing views and dimensioning to speed design rendering.
- Interference checking in 3D before assembly.
- Hole alignment checking to ensure assembly fit.
- Fully integrated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software. Eliminate
mechanism and structural design failure with stress, thermal,
kinematics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and weldment analysis
capabilities, as well as part analysis and optimization.
- SolidWorks Workgroup PDM and SolidWorks Enterprise PDM solutions. Securely manage design versions, track changes, prevent overwrites, and reduce errors.
- Fully associative top-down and bottom-up design techniques. Make a change – and SolidWorks applies it across your entire model.
Speed component selection.
By logging in to 3DContentCentral.com,
you can quickly access thousands of pre-modeled 3D components. You’ll
also find functionality and performance specification data, plus
component costs for use in estimates. SolidWorks offers:
- SolidWorks Toolbox, an extensive, shared library of standard fasteners and other parts.
- Smart Fasteners Technology and Smart Components for automated assembly of often-used hardware and components.
Ensure your designs are manufacturable
Your team has designed a winning product, but can it be manufactured
once the design gets to the production floor? You can get the answer –
and save significant costs – with DFMXpress, which will test your
design for manufacturing issues. SolidWorks offers:
- Automatic bill of material (BOM) generation, ensuring accurate
purchasing lists and allowing early ordering of parts and materials
- Automatic generation of final 3D database, 2D production drawings,
and animated assembly instructions for manufacturer reference.
- SolidWorks product data management software. Track release levels
and maintain revision history through the life of your product.
Publish complete, accurate documentation
When your products are ready for production and release, use 3DVIA Composer to create accurate, detailed technical manuals and consumer instructions. SolidWorks offers:
- Design Checker. Ensure that drawings comply with company standards.
