Article by Sam Oanes on Sep 24, The software was easier to use: a user could become comfortable with only 3 months of experience, compared to 3 years with other CAD software on the market.
A large part of the ease-of-use was due to being on the modern, well-known Windows interface. The visualization of the model was unprecedented. Building features in a fully-lit, shaded environment was a stark contrast to the traditional modeling space which only showed a wireframe against a black background A similar FeatureManager to what we are familiar with now was used to show the history of how a model was built Parts, assemblies, and drawings were all available from the start.
Switch any pre-existing Chamfer to a Fillet and vice versa to apply design changes in seconds. Capture and access previous hole definitions and apply pre-saved specifications in an instant with Advanced Hole specification. Construct stepped holes faster with one operation using Advanced Hole specification, eliminating the need for complex revolve cuts or multiple features. New features let you: Create geometry on any surfaces, with improved wrap features.
Drag and drop features into place, then decide whether to wrap it as emboss, deboss, or just a 3D Curve. Offset 3D Curve on a surface, and offset edges or complete faces. Define a suitable offset value and use the new 3D Curve as a reference for other features. Additional features include, the ability to: Easily organize equipment and space with new Magnetic Mates.
Publish parts and assemblies as assets with appropriate connection points for easy drag and drop mating. Reposition models easily by un-snapping and re-snapping to new locations according to design needs. Create super lightweight model version or Speedpak configuration, including published references. Quickly identify Stress Hot Spots to investigate your model and setup further to verify your Simulation results. Directly open imported files and treat them like Base Parts, so you can freely make design modifications without affecting the native file.
Now, customers like Myomo can design its full system from PCB boards to electrical wiring, to mechanical and simulation of its connected device in a single environment. The best-in-class collaboration between mechanical, electrical and PCB engineers allows SOLIDWORKs customers to decrease development costs, significantly improve time to market and reduce the number of prototypes and errors.
The rest of the product line will be available as Term License sequentially in future releases.
