Starting today, you can get hands-on with the latest user-driven enhancements purpose-built to help you streamline and accelerate your product development processes from concept to manufacturing. Enhancements apply to 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, SOLIDWORKS with Cloud Services, and SOLIDWORKS with Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS.

Join now and begin exploring these key release highlights:

What’s New in SOLIDWORKS Design and Collaboration

  •        Collaboration and Data Management: Deliver innovative products faster with improved collaboration and data management capabilities such as easily connecting and collaborating directly with industry peers within SOLIDWORKS. Ensure data integrity with real-time notifications about changes to the design by team members.
  •        Parts: Smoothly integrate radius parameters with the new Continuous edge blend option for variable radius fillets. Improve the manufacturability of your designs with the Sheet Metal Bend Notch. Streamline skeleton model creation and create more flexible designs by patterning Reference Geometry (planes, axes, etc.)
  •        Assemblies: Accelerate design by copying assembly components along with their advanced and mechanical mates. Check the manufacturability of your design faster with interference detection in Large Design Review mode.
  •       Drawings: Speed up drawing creation and ensure accuracy by providing detailed cut lists in the bill of materials. Ensure standardization with the ability to create surface finish symbols in compliance with ISO standards.
  •        More Design and Modeling Updates: Get to production faster with 3D dimensioning and tolerancing improvements, accelerate the creation of manufacturing documentation for electrical and pipe routing, leverage the latest advancements in GPU technology with real-time interactive ray tracing, streamline workflows with enhanced import/export, user experience, performance, and more.

Increase Data Efficiency in SOLIDWORKS PDM

  •        Understand the assembly structure better with a bill of materials that follows the SOLIDWORKS assembly order. Check out the latest revision or a specific revision of files when you use the Get operation. Quickly access SOLIDWORKS PDM functions from the new PDM tab in the Command Manager toolbar.

Ensure Performance and Accuracy in SOLIDWORKS Simulation

  •        Simplify assembly analysis without compromising accuracy with the new orthotropic spring connectors and enhanced pin connectors. Solve complex assembly problems by identifying free body components with the enhanced Under Constraint feature.

Stay up-to-date with the ongoing enhancements to all SOLIDWORKS roles on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, including 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, the browser-based design roles, and more.
