Prizes
By taking part in SolidWorks 2013 Beta, you can qualify to win a number of prizes, based on how many bugs and issues you catch.
This year's competitions include Star of the Week and Photoview 360 competitions, a modeling contest, and there will also be separate prizes for SolidWorks Enterprise PDM Beta and SolidWorks Simulation Beta.
