Many of us understand why people are so passionate about Apple products or why people line up at Starbucks. Neither company invented mobile communication or coffee shops, but both serve their customers in a way that consistently provides exceptional quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SOLIDWORKS, we have put many years of development and effort into creating an exceptional user experience, removing friction between the creative process of design and the actual realization of a product. We do this in many ways but primarily by listening to customer feedback and then implementing their suggestions in upcoming releases\u2014this is undoubtedly at the heart of the SOLIDWORKS culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE\u00ae Works portfolio is the next evolution of the mission, which is to create extraordinary user experiences for SOLIDWORKS\u00ae users from design through manufacture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Capabilities for SOLIDWORKS Users<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS is SOLIDWORKS connected to the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform on the cloud. It\u2019s that simple. Installing SOLIDWORKS is streamlined. Updates are more frequent and are pushed onto the platform helping your team to stay up to date with the latest enhancements. And, because 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS is part of the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Works portfolio, you now have direct access to a range of powerful tools\u2014unavailable to SOLIDWORKS users until now\u2014that can help you get projects done faster and more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Works portfolio gives SOLIDWORKS users immediate access to powerful subdivision modeling (Sub-D) capabilities. Most of us understand that organic shapes are challenging\u2014and typically slower\u2014to build with parametric modelers. With Sub-D modeling, you can streamline the conceptual design stage because you don\u2019t have to set up all the sub-structure necessary in parametric modeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By leveraging the advanced Sub-D modeling capabilities within the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Works portfolio, you\u2019ll be able to significantly increase the number of new design concepts that you produce in a day. On-the-fly changes are quick and easy. Getting final approval becomes faster and more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Through Manufacture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engineers and designers can share designs easily via the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform, allowing key stakeholders\u2014including non-engineers\u2014to give feedback throughout the product development phase to help reduce downstream delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data management is already integrated into the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform. Capabilities such as revision control, product maturity, permission management, and more are automatically enabled when you make design changes to your cloud-connected SOLIDWORKS parts and assemblies on the platform. With all the data in the same place, everyone is up to date with access to a single source of truth. Therefore, data-driven decision-making is streamlined. And because you are accessing real-time data, there is no risk of being out of sync on model revisions or assembly configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simulation capabilities help you digitally validate your designs to gain insights into the performance, reliability, and safety of products at all stages of the development process. Simulation capabilities are extended for SOLIDWORKS users in the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Works portfolio with direct access to advanced Abaqus Finite Element Analysis (FEA) capabilities, including but not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
