Traditional SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD software installed on a desktop is no longer the only option. You may have heard other terms, such as 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Connected. So, what are these new options, how do they differ, and most importantly, how do you choose? We'll break it all down here.
Each FEA tool on the market contains its own selection of solvers and solution procedures that may or may not be able to represent these phenomena with varying degrees of efficiency and accuracy. Abaqus excels at having a widely applicable and highly efficient solver portfolio. Let’s take a closer look at the many applications of that broad and deep FEA toolbox.
Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) is a powerful discipline that enables engineers to design, analyze, and optimize complex systems and structures more efficiently and accurately. It has revolutionized the way engineering is done and will continue to be a critical component of the engineering process in the future. If you are looking to bring Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software in-house, there are a few things you should know before you buy.
Choosing an inspection software depends on several factors and should be prioritized in a way that’s unique to your organization. When evaluating different software, it's important to consider the unique standards or requirements of your industry, the learning curve of the software, the usefulness of automated tools, scalability as you develop more products, cost or return on investment, and integration with current MES or ERP systems.
The SOLIDWORKS Autotrace tool is an add-in that can help users quickly create 3D objects from an imported picture. Access the Autotrace feature by enabling it in Add-Ins.

Create operation-based, editable solid models compatible with your existing CAD software. In this article, we share what's new in the latest version of Geomagic Design X version 2023.2.0.
If you want to learn SOLIDWORKS, training is essential to unlock its full potential. Between free online videos and forums, and certified professional training programs, it can be difficult to identify the best training option that fits your learning style and budget. In this blog, we compare free SOLIDWORKS training options to paid SOLIDWORKS training options with a focus on GoEngineer’s training options.
As a design progresses, engineers move on to more detailed analyses to validate the design. This is where SOLIDWORKS Simulation can be leveraged to quickly analyze individual components and multi-part assemblies in a range of loading conditions. However, as designs become more complex, the limitations of SOLIDWORKS Simulation become apparent, and more powerful tools like Abaqus are required. This article helps you determine when is a good time to upgrade.
Are long rebuild and load times plaguing you when working with large assemblies? This article discusses assembly mates in SOLIDWORKS and how using them thoughtfully can improve assembly performance.
