You’re Doing Great with SoLIDWORKS. What Next?
SOLIDWORKS is an amazing design tool that rightly dominates the industry – that’s why you made the wise choice to adopt it yourself. But how do you raise the bar and stay competitive once you’re already making the most of SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD?
Design Optimization & Automation
Algorithms & Automation for Better Design
The future of design is moving beyond pure human labor and thinking, and into tool-assisted methods, whether that be automation or artificial intelligence.
Here is your introduction to Dassault Systèmes’s world of design optimization and automation tools, including advanced 3D EXPERIENCE generative design tools . Many of these tools have been around for years, some are quite new, and some are soon to ride in on the wave of generative AI.
