Get up and running fast - and keep working at full speed
Your SolidWorks Value-Added Reseller (VAR) will be your primary partner and support resource. Extensively trained (many are SolidWorks certified), our resellers undergo a highly selective and rigorous process before we designate them as VARs. You’ll work with a locally based VAR who’ll respond quickly to all your needs: from installation, implementation, and user training to ongoing support.
Produce design iterations in less time
More than ever, your teams need to quickly turn around precision designs. Thanks to SWIFT™ (SolidWorks Intelligent Feature Technology) and our Heads-up Interface, they can deliver innovative, accurate 3D models with fewer picks and clicks. The SolidWorks learning curve is short, so beginners can design with expert-level skill.
- FeatureXpert. Add fillets and other features to your models with speed and ease, instead of trial-and-error.
- Large Assembly capability. Model complete systems – even those with tens of thousands of parts –in their entirety within SolidWorks.
- Fully associative top-down and bottom-up design techniques. Make a change – and SolidWorks applies it across your entire model.
- Drawing capabilities. Create and revise your drawings faster than with 2D CAD systems – SolidWorks instantly and accurately translates your 2D work to your 3D models.
- Advanced surfacing tools for creating complex aerodynamic shapes and composite surfaces. Create complex ergonomic shapes and surfaces by simply pushing and pulling on control points.
- Sheet-metal design tools with ready-made Smart Fasteners Technology.
- Configuration management for parts and assemblies.
- Specialized routed system design tools for developing piping, tubing, pneumatics, hydraulics, and electric cabling systems – and integrating them with mechanical designs.
