Download SolidWorks SustainabilityXpress
SustainabilityXpress is the only CAD-integrated software to provide a comprehensive view of a design’s environmental impact. Its analysis, for example, accounts for where the product will be manufactured and used. This determines environmental factors such as: where and how raw material is mined; transportation impacts; energy production (e.g., coal, nuclear, hydroelectric, etc.); and power consumption. This comprehensive view increases engineers’ confidence that their decisions don’t have hidden negative impacts and that they aren’t overlooking any positive impacts. If you have SolidWorks 2010, you already have SustainabilityXpress. If you're running SolidWorks 2009, please download it from the link below.
