- In today’s competitive market with the need to produce products faster,with higher, more predictable quality and at lower costs, companies are looking to streamline their workflows.
- SOLIDWORKS provides the breadth of tools to tackle the most complex problems, and the depth to finish critical detail work. SolidWorks features help you improve your product development process to get your innovative products into production faster.
AVOID REWORKS AND MINIMISE NO. OF PROTOTYPE
- Identify the errors occur in Assembly within a Design Stage itself.
- This powerful tool will enhance the Machine Manufacturer to reduce Prototype and its cost.
- Helps to improve Productivity up to 80% and meet project Timeline.
CLEARANCE DETECTION
- With Clearance Verification, you can check the clearance between selected components in assemblies.
- The software checks the minimum distance between the components and reports clearances that fail to meet the minimum acceptable clearance you specify.
HOLE ALIGNMENT
- Hole Alignment is feature-based. Alignment is checked for Hole Wizard holes, simple holes, and cylindrical cut features.
- Hole Alignment does not recognize holes in derived or imported bodies, or multi-boundary extrudes.
INTERFERENCE DETECTION
- Interference Detection identifies interference between components, and helps you to examine and evaluate those interference.
- Interference Detection is useful in complex assemblies, where it can be difficult to visually determine whether components interfere with each other.
SMART COMPONENT
- When you make a component smart, you associate the other components and features with the Smart Component.
- When you insert the Smart Component into an assembly, you can choose whether or not to insert the associated components and features.
DESIGN AUTOMATION USING MS EXCEL
- A design table allows you to build multiple configurations of parts or assemblies by specifying parameters in an embedded Microsoft Excel worksheet.
3D DESIGN ANIMATIONS
- Generate Animations for Machines how it works in real time environment.
- Share your Machinery animations to your Websites, your Customers and also to Trade Shows etc.
Cost Estimation
- The SOLIDWORKS Costing tool helps you calculate how much it costs to manufacture sheet metal, machined, multibody parts, and assemblies as well as plastic molded, cast, 3D printed parts, and multibody weldments by automating the cost estimation and quotation process.
Data Management
- The SOLIDWORKS PDM® application is project data management software that runs inside the SOLIDWORKS® environment or as a standalone application.
- Workgroup PDM controls projects with procedures for check out, check in, revision control, and other administration tasks.
Render Images
- Generating high quality, life-like images and animations is a critical capability that can be used to enhance proposals, presentations, and submissions.
- People want to see 3D models as they would appear in real life, using specific colors and materials, in a specific environment or setting.
- They also want to interact, to maneuver around and through the design to gain perspectives impossible in 2D.
Reverse Engineering Concept
- Facilitate reverse engineering that can speed up your design process. ScanTo3D reduces the time required to build complex 3D models of real-world items, such as sculpted objects, and anatomical items.
- 3D data such as point clouds and mesh (which is attained from laser scanners and other devices) can be imported, parsed, manipulated, modified, and ultimately turned into 3D solids and surfaces.
Schedule a Task- No Manpower is necessary
- If you need to perform a resource-intensive task such as rebuilding a large assembly, you can use SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler to perform the job at off-peak hours.
- You can schedule a task to be performed only once or on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
Tolerance Analysis-Assembly Level
- Tolerance analysis tool used to study the effects tolerances and assembly methods have on dimensional stack-up between two features of an assembly.
- The result of each study is a minimum and maximum tolerance stack, a minimum and maximum root sum squared (RSS) tolerance stack, and a list of contributing features and tolerances.
Hardware Libraries
- SOLIDWORKS® Toolbox includes a library of standard parts that is fully integrated with SOLIDWORKS.
- Select your standard and the type of part you want to insert, then drag the component into your assembly.
- You can customize the Toolbox library of parts to include your company's standards, or to include those parts that you refer to most frequently.
- Toolbox supports international standards, including: ANSI, AS, GB, BSI, CISC, DIN, GB, ISO, IS, JIS, and KS.
High and Faster Render Images
- The fastest and easiest way to photorealistic imagery for anyone that needs to take "photos" of their 3D data.
- By utilizing photo-quality content early in the design process, more informed design decisions can be made, as well as receiving useful early feedback from sales teams and potential customers.
Time Based Motion Analysis
- Easily evaluate how your product will perform and move throughout its operational cycle with motion analysis. Visualize your product moving as it would in the real world and measure the forces and loads on your design.
- Forces
- Springs
- Dampers
- Gravity
- Contact between components
- Bushings
Piping and Tubing Design
- Accelerate the development process and save time by designing piping and tubing in 3D during system design with SOLIDWORKS. By integrating piping and tubing during the design process, designers can help ensure efficient assembly, operation, and serviceability, avoiding rework, delays, and extra cost.
Linear Stress Analysis
- Linear stress analysis enables designers and engineers to quickly and efficiently validate quality, performance, and safety—all while creating their design. Reduce the need for costly prototypes, eliminating rework, and save time and development costs.
- Forces
- Pressures
- Accelerations
- Temperatures
- Contact between components
Electrical Cable Harness and Conduit Design
- Quickly design and route electrical wiring, harnessing, cabling, and conduit assemblies of products in 3D using the SOLIDWORKS Premium package. Integrating these systems during product design rather than adding them later accelerates your development process, saves time and rework costs, and helps to ensure efficient product assembly and serviceability.
Advanced Surface Flattening
- Often products like leather goods, sports equipment, footwear, and products made from composite materials, like carbon fiber and fiberglass, have complex shapes, but are manufactured from materials that start out as flat stock, such as cow hides, nylon, cloth, and flat composite sheet.
- With SOLIDWORKS Premium you can accurately determine or estimate the size and shape of surfaces in their flattened state in order to be able to cut the material from the flat sheet.
Routing of Rectangular and Other Sections
- SOLIDWORKS Premium users can route rectangular and round sections to meet their design needs. Equipment designers, product designers, machine designers, facility designers and others all need rectangular section routing to complete their designs that include ducting, cable trays, conveyors, material handling chutes, and many other systems.
