2D Sketching/ Designing
In Solidworks the 2D Design process very well designed & quite streamlined. You can put a drawing together in a couple of seconds with the program doing most of the work for you. It will make the 3D design process altogether efficient and smooth. Drawing functions suite includes:
Shapes – Lines, circles, rectangles, arcs, text, polygons, ellipses and more.
Sketch Functions – Trim, offset, circular & linear patterns, move, copy, scale, stretch, rotating entities.
3D Design
Creating 3D forms in a Solidworks program right from basic to mid-range has never been exciting and easier before. Here are some of the available tools to help you:
Extrusion - Extrude, revolve, swept, lofted, boundary boss, cut, hole wizard
3D build tools - Fillet, chamfer, mirror, Rib, draft, shell, wrap, linear-, circular-, curve-, or sketch-driven pattern
Assembly
In Solidworks the assembly environment can be used to create fully functional models of entire assemblies.
Once the assembly is fully constrained, the different “working” parts of the assembly can be manipulated within the assembly environment to simulate functioning of the real-world part
SOLIDWORKS® Simulation is an easy-to-use portfolio of structural analysis tools that use Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to predict a product’s real-world physical behavior by virtually testing CAD models. The portfolio provides linear, non-linear static and dynamic analysis capabilities.
SOLIDWORKS CAM
Solidworks CAM- powered by CAMWorks - uses rules-based technology that enables you to integrate design and manufacturing in one application, connecting design and manufacturing teams through a common software tool and 3D model.
