You can easily account for real-world shadow and light position at any given date and time, and use the wizard to quickly create a Solar Access Study for a high-resolution lifelike animation. You can even maximize (or minimize) sun exposure or avoid shadow using important positioning data.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the Solar Access Study in the video below, and be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solidworks.com\/launch\/overview.htm?SCID=sm_bl_launch14_solar_092013\">our new SolidWorks 2014 website<\/a> to see everything else that&#8217;s new.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iixVXMO2v-8?rel=0\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SolidWorks 2014 includes a really interesting new feature that allows you to set a defined date, time, and geographic location to create high-fidelity renderings that accurately simulate lighting from the sun.
