SOLIDWORKS® 3D CAD
MOST POPULARKEY CAPABILITIES
3D CAD DESIGNPart and Assembly Modeling
Handle all aspects of your part and assembly modeling andtransform ideas and concepts into virtual 3D models,
regardless of design complexity and size. Leverage
specialized tools for sheet metal, weldment, mold, andparametric surfacing.
2D Drawings
Create production-ready 2D drawings that are always
current, and clearly communicate how to manufacture andassemble your designs.
Productivity Tools
Easily analyze, compare, check, and report on your designs.
Design Reuse and AutomationSimplify the reuse of existing design data with search,automation, and configuration tools that help you speed up
the creation of new designs.
Interference and Clearance Check
Before going into production, verify in 2D and 3D that yourparts and assemblies will fit, assemble, and operate correctly.
Manufacturability Checks
Review your designs for Draft, Undercut, Thickness, andHole Alignments early in the development process toensure manufacturability.
Advanced CAD File Import/Export
Convert incoming CAD data into the SOLIDWORKS 3D
CAD format and export SOLIDWORKS data to other CAD
applications using 30+ translators. Share native data withusers of older versions of SOLIDWORKS*. Leverage timesaving features such as 3D Interconnect.
Xtended Reality (XR) Exporter
Export CAD data for AR, VR, and web-viewing experiences
while retaining geometry, appearance, motion studies,display states, and more.
Graphics Performance
Utilize the full power of your GPU hardware to speed up
viewing and manipulation of your largest designs.

KEY CAPABILITIES
3D CAD DESIGNCAM Programming*
Leverage integrated 2.5-axis milling programming
capabilities to improve communication, reduce errors andcycle times, and increase product quality.
CAD Libraries
Easily find, customize, and share hundreds of thousands ofprebuilt industry-standard fastener models and commonlyreused CAD data.
CAD Standards Checking
Establish design standards and check drawings (or models)against them to create uniform designs and documentation.
Automated Tolerance Stack-up Analysis
Automatically check the effects of tolerances on parts andassemblies to ensure the consistent fit of components andverify tolerancing schemes before manufacturing your designs.
Design for Cost
Continuously check your designs against cost targets withautomatic cost estimation tools fully integrated within
SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD.
Reverse Engineering
Recreate designs with the ability to import, edit, evaluate,
and create solid geometry from scanned point-cloud andmesh data.
ECAD/MCAD Collaboration
Share, compare, update, and track electrical design data sousers can quickly resolve electrical-mechanical integrationand collaboration issues.
SOLIDWORKS File Management
Manage project data, control design revisions, and control
access to files with SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard.
Sharing of 2D Drawings and Models
Get the power to create, view, share, and control the accessto 3D models and 2D drawings in an email-ready format.
Advanced Surface Flattening
Flatten complex, nondevelopable surfaces typicallyencountered in products made from textiles (like clothing),or sheet metal (like metal stampings).
Pipe and Tube Routing
Simplify the design and documentation of piping andtubing for a wide range of systems and applications,
including machinery, skid systems, and process plant piping.
Electrical Cable and Wiring Harness Routing
Quickly add cables, wires, and harnesses to your design.
Create flattened drawing representations of your 3D cables
and harnesses with wire lists, connection information, andbills of materials.
Routing of Custom Cross-Section Shapes
Route rectangular and round sections that include ducting,cable trays, conveyors, material-handling chutes, andother systems.

KEY CAPABILITIESRENDERING*GPU Rendering
Accelerate the generation of lifelike renderings by harnessing
the power of your GPU hardware.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Denoiser
Leverage artificial intelligence to eliminate noise from yourrenders with a single checkbox, dramatically boosting yourrender speed.

SIMULATION
Linear Static Analysis for Parts and Assemblies
Calculate the stresses and deformations of geometry
using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methods, and runninglinear stress analysis to determine the response of parts
and assemblies.
Time-Based Motion Analysis
Realistically visualize your product moving throughout its
operational cycle world, measure the forces and loads on
your design, and use the data to correctly size motors andensure product performance, quality, and safety.

DATA MANAGEMENT AND
COLLABORATION IN THE CLOUD*
Share and Markup in the Cloud
Invite anyone—inside or outside your organization—to view
and mark up your 3D designs in the cloud. Getting real-time
feedback and iterating on your work is as easy as sharing alink from within SOLIDWORKS, with no download required.
Store and Revise in the Cloud
Utilize secure cloud storage that’s purpose-built with CAD
relationships and collaboration in mind. You simply saveyour data to the cloud right from SOLIDWORKS. If you
need to work with other designers, you can lock designs
to ensure no one overwrites your work, easily manage
revisions, and create detailed markups with redline,
measurements, and annotations.
Manage and Control in the Cloud
Manage the life cycle of any type of content, such as
CAD files, simulation models, and documentation, acrossdisciplines and CAD solutions. Assign tasks, track issues,
communicate and coordinate design changes, manage
reviews and approvals, and capture decisions.
Collaboration in the CloudCollaborate in real time using configurable dashboards;
communicate on social communities through commentthreads and persistent chat; track progress with Kanbanstyle task management. Easily search, visualize, and explore
SOLIDWORKS and other files directly in your browser, fromany device.
Governance in the Cloud
Monitor license usage, manage members, and assign andremove licenses from a single administrative dashboard,lowering administrative overhead.
