One of the longstanding traditions at WORLD is to deliver a TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW to show off some of the new functionality that is under development for SOLIDWORKS Desktop products.\u00a0 For 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE World 2020, we brought the preview directly to the users in targeted breakout sessions.\u00a0 These \u201cPOP-UP\u201d presentations let us showcase the new functionality directly to the people who would use it the most.\u00a0 For those who were not in the breakout sessions, don\u2019t worry!\u00a0 Each session was recorded and is available for you to watch on SOLIDWORKS LIVE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While we openly share this content as a reminder, this is a TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW and features \/ functionality are always changing until fully vetted and not guaranteed to be in the next release.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n

SHEETMETAL CURVED EDGE FLANGE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Edge Flange features are now supported on non-planar tangent edges of an existing base, swept, or edge flange.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0SILHOUETTE DEFEATURE<\/strong><\/p>\n

This existing functionality is extended to include the ability to save the simplified assembly as a derived configuration in the existing assembly.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0USER EXPERIENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Appearances in SOLIDWORKS 2021 will now include a Color Picker tool allowing users to select the appearance they need from any other application.\u00a0 Once selected, the appearance properties and model update immediately.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

SIMULATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

More accurate results when using incompatible Mesh for bonded contact due to variations in meshing of non-planar contact.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

SIMULATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blended Curvature-Based Mesh improvements result in faster meshing without sacrificing results accuracy.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

DRAWINGS \u2013 DETAILING MODE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Improvements to Detailing Mode make it possible to edit legacy dimensions in addition to newly created dimensions.\u00a0 Detail, Break, and Crop Views can also now be created, modified, moved, and have dimension and annotations added.\u00a0 Finally, Hole Callouts are now available for both hole wizard holes and extruded cuts.<\/p>\n
