SOLIDWORKS offre beaucoup de flexibilité dans la façon dont vous utilisez le logiciel, le matériel sur lequel vous l'exécutez et la personnalisation de vos paramètres. Vous avez une grande liberté et plusieurs options pour adapter le logiciel à vos besoins, et c'est en partie pour cela que nous l'aimons. Cependant, il existe quelques configurations spécifiques qui nous sont fréquemment demandées et qui peuvent sembler être des options intéressantes, mais qui, en fin de compte, causeront plus de tort que de bien.

SOLIDWORKS 2027 delivers focused improvements across parts, weldments, and sheet metal, plus better ways to work with external and legacy data. Here’s what changed, where to find it, and when each tool earns its place in your workflow.

eDrawings Professional can be installed independently of SOLIDWORKS. This guide walks you through downloading the software and installing it.

The best-equipped engineering labs rarely happen by accident. Labs running SOLIDWORKS, Stratasys or Formlabs 3D printers, or WAZER waterjets are the result of an educator who started planning months before capital was released. Q4 is when next year’s district budgets take shape, current-year funds must be committed, and major grant windows open. If you want commercial-grade design and prototyping tools in your lab for Fall 2027, the groundwork starts now.

CAD files and geometry are often revised and updated over time. But what happens to those changes if the CAD model has already been imported into SOLIDWORKS Visualize? A helpful option called Monitor File watches for these geometry changes and automatically updates the Visualize project.

Manufacturing leadership has normalized an operating model it would consider irresponsible almost everywhere else in the enterprise. Imagine a new CEO walking into a multi-million- or multi-billion-dollar company and discovering that the entire Finance organization runs on Excel spreadsheets, paper ledgers, and emailed reconciliations. What would happen?

Traditional structural validation typically relies on static linear analysis, often overlooking critical inertial nuances of real-world operation. This study compares the durability of an SAE 1045 steel hook under a 125 kN cyclic load, showing how SIMULIA Durability and Mechanics Engineer (accessible through 3DEXPERIENCE STRUCTURAL) fundamentally improves fatigue-life predictions.

Customers often ask why the "Revision" for a file in SOLIDWORKS PDM can show different values in different places. What a lot of folks don’t realize is that the Database Revision (or the “Local/Latest Revision” you see in the Version tab and in the File History dialog) is not the same as, or synced with, the Revision Variable (as seen in the variable list on the Preview tab or on the Data Card tab). They’re totally separate fields and values. This is a very commonly misunderstood aspect of revisions (understandably, since it’s not often explained), so let's clear up the confusion once and for all.

This guide walks through adding and activating AI Virtual Companions AURA, LEO, and MARIE to the desktop version of SOLIDWORKS.
