Introduction SOLIDWORKS 2026 introduces powerful updates to the Structure System and Weldments, improving corner handling and simplifying access to cut list properties for faster, more efficient design workflows.  SOLIDWORKS 2026 What’s New - Structure System and Weldments Accessing Cut List Properties from File Properties:                               In SOLIDWORKS 2026 , managing weldment data is easier and more convenient. You can now access Cut List Properties directly from the Configuration Properties tab in the File Properties dialog box. Figure 1 Benefits:                      This enhancement allows you to quickly access and update cut list information without navigating multiple menus , improving efficiency during design and documentation. Enhanced Corner Treatments:  Corner handling in Structure System has been improved ...

  This blog highlights the latest updates and improvements introduced in SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2026. Applied Forces on Beams Now you have greater flexibility when applying forces to beam bodies. Previously, forces could only be applied using the Per Item option, assigning the full load to each selected beam. The new Total option in the Force/Torque Property Manager refer (figure1) allows you to apply a single force shared across multiple beams. The load is automatically distributed proportionally to each beam’s length , ensuring a more realistic and efficient setup. Key Benefits: ·         More accurate load distribution across connected beams. ·         Reduced manual effort in defining multiple load cases. ·         Improved modelling efficiency for frame and truss structures   Buckling Studies The buckling analysis workflow has been refined to provid...

  Introduction SOLIDWORKS 2026 introduces smarter enhancements to Sheet Metal design, giving users greater control and precision. The new Base Flange starting conditions allow designers to define exactly where a sheet metal model begins, improving accuracy, flexibility, and modeling efficiency from the first step. SOLIDWORKS 2026 What’s New Sheet Metal   Base Flange Starting Conditions :  In SOLIDWORKS 2026, Creating sheet metal parts is more flexible and precise with the introduction of new options for Base Flange starting conditions. You can now choose exactly where the base flange begins when building your model.  Available Starting Conditions:  Sketch Plane, Surface/Face/Plane, Vertex, and Offset. Figure 1 Conclusion With the new Base Flange starting conditions, SOLIDWORKS 2026 significantly improves sheet metal modeling workflows. By allowing designers to start from sketches, faces, vertices, or offsets, it ensures better design intent, reduced rework, ...

  Introduction SOLIDWORKS2026 introduces powerful enhancements to Routing that improve accuracy, speed, and consistency. From smarter auto-routing guidelines to better connector and drawing management, these updates simplify complex routing workflows for designers and engineers. SOLIDWORKS 2026 What’s New Routing Redirecting Guidelines to Follow a Route Path: In the Auto Route Property Manager , guidelines can now automatically follow a route path. They identify the nearest sketch segment leading to the corresponding end connector, making routing more intuitive and precise. Figure 1 Managing a List of Favourites for Coverings: You can save commonly used multilayer coverings as Favourites, enabling quick reuse across models and maintaining consistency in your designs. Figure 2 Connector Table Enhancements: Connector tables can now be inserted and managed more efficiently, simplifying workflow and helping maintain organized routing data. Automatically Scaling Drawing...

 This chapter highlights all the enhancements that improve how you use SOLIDWORKS with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. These updates focus on tighter integration, optimized workflows, and simplified data management between desktop design and cloud collaboration environments. The features described in this chapter are available in both SOLIDWORKS Connected (3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS roles) and SOLIDWORKS with the 3DEXPERIENCE add-in (Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS role). i)    3DEXPERIENCE Components in SOLIDWORKS The workflow for handling 3DEXPERIENCE components in SOLIDWORKS is now faster and more streamlined. Insertion: Components are automatically inserted as 3DEXPERIENCE components without any dialog prompts. Derived Parts: A new Create Derived Part dialog replaces the older workflow. You can now save to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform at any time after creating the derived part. Editing: When editing a 3DEXPERIENCE component, the Crea...

SOLIDWORKS 2026 introduces user interface enhancements focused on improving usability, navigation, and workspace control. New updates help reduce distractions, streamline selection, and make everyday design tasks faster and more intuitive across parts, assemblies, and drawings. i)       Hiding and Showing Manager Pane Tabs You can now hide or show Manager Pane tabs in SOLIDWORKS Composer to focus only on the tools you need. Right-click any tab and select Customize to manage visibility. Benefit: This enhancement improves workspace organization and helps you streamline your workflow by displaying only relevant tabs. ii)       Viewing Dismissed Messages You can now quickly view previously dismissed messages using the new Dismissed Messages icon in the SOLIDWORKS status bar. Hover over the icon to see the number of recently dismissed messages, or click it to open the Dismissed Messages page. Benefit: Provides faster access to imp...
