Noun

[edit]

Is the use of the noun SolidWorks old now? (It will never be old) Everywhere in DSS reference, it is now SOLIDWORKS isn't it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.152.143 (talk) 11:40, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, it's now SOLIDWORKS isn't it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.152.143 (talk • contribs) 12:08, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And it's irrelevant. Per MOS:TRADEMARK, we don't show it as all caps in articles. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:53, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a terrible article. Who cares who the Executive VP of 3DExperience Works" is? The whole article needs re-writing. Some of the links go to websites that look like they are from the 1990s. And why do we need a huge chart with the exact date of every historical release?

I've done quite a bit of work to update this "terrible article" with newer, more relevant links, and actual information on the software (both browser and cloud based). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geekybiz (talk • contribs) 18:31, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request - Additional Section

[edit]

What I think should be changed:

  • Add below text after the Cloud-connected roles Table:


SOLIDWORKS for Startups Program

The SOLIDWORKS for Startups Program, also known as the 3DEXPERIENCE Works for Startups program or the SOLIDWORKS Startup Program, is an initiative designed to support early-stage hardware startups. The program provides free access to industry-standard design, collaboration, and other product development tools for qualifying startups in their first year.[1] Additionally, the program offers substantial discounts for the subsequent two years, with a 70% discount in the second year and a 50% discount in the third year. Participants in the program also receive free training and co-marketing resources to aid in their success.[2]

Why I think this should be changed

This information is of use to those researching the page and company. It provides insight for individuals in the hardware startup industry and fully captures the company's programs.

Thank you for donating your valuable free time to help this page. Please adjust as necessary within Wikipedia guidelines.

 Done I've removed the discount information, since discounts can change at any time, and I also added information from Engineering.com for additional context. ⸺(Random)staplers 21:13, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request - Products

[edit]

What I think should be changed: The Product Portfolio section currently provides excess detail on products. This revision provides a neutral version of the material aimed at replicating the format seen on Palantir Technologies' Products and Adobe Photoshop's Versions sections:

Products

[edit]

Dassault Systèmes provides various SolidWorks products and tools to support a range of design, simulation, and data management needs. The main offerings include:[1]

SolidWorks 3D CAD with Cloud Services

[edit]

Parametric design software for creating 3D models and 2D drawings including option to connect data to the 3DExperience platform for creating annotations, sharing models, and cloud data management. Released in 1995.[2]

3DExperience SolidWorks

[edit]

SolidWorks 3D CAD with a built-in connection to the cloud-based 3DExperience platform product development suite.[3]

SolidWorks Cloud

[edit]

Browser-based solutions support design and modeling tasks without requiring local installation of the software, allowing for centralized data management and version control within the cloud.[4]

SolidWorks Manage includes advanced data management tools for project, process, and item management. It provides capabilities for creating dashboards and reports on top of the file management offered by SolidWorks PDM Professional. Released in January 2018.[11]

SolidWorks Simulation

[edit]

Originally launched as COSMOSWorks, SolidWorks Simulation includes tools for structural analysis using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and rigid-body dynamics, allowing users to test the physical behavior of CAD models. It was renamed to SolidWorks Simulation in 2008.[12][13]

SolidWorks Flow Simulation

[edit]

A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool, originally COSMOSFloWorks, that uses a finite volume approach to analyze fluid flow and temperature conditions in CAD models. It was renamed SolidWorks Flow Simulation in 2008.[14][15][16]

SolidWorks Plastics

[edit]

SolidWorks Plastics simulates the injection molding process to evaluate manufacturability, helping to identify potential defects in molded parts prior to manufacturing. Introduced in April 2012.[17][18]

SolidWorks Visualize

[edit]

SolidWorks Visualize enables users to create photo-realistic renderings and animations from 3D CAD data for visual content and presentations. Released in October 2015.[19][2]

SolidWorks Composer

[edit]

Previously known as 3DVIA Composer, SolidWorks Composer enables the creation of technical illustrations, animations, and interactive graphics directly from 3D CAD data. It was renamed in 2013. [20]

SolidWorks Inspection

[edit]

SolidWorks Inspection automates the creation of inspection documentation, including ballooned drawings and inspection reports for manufacturing quality processes. First released in 2014.[21]

SolidWorks MBD

[edit]

SolidWorks MBD (Model-Based Definition) allows users to define and publish 3D annotations and model data in standard file formats, supporting industry requirements for 3D documentation. Released in 2014.[22][23][2]

SolidWorks CAM

[edit]

Integrated within the SolidWorks CAD environment, SolidWorks CAM provides tools for programming and machining, including high-speed machining, multi-axis programming, and assembly machining. Launched in September 2017.[24]

SolidWorks eDrawings

[edit]

SolidWorks eDrawings is a tool for viewing, creating, and sharing annotations and markups on 3D models. It supports collaboration by enabling users to review and interrogate CAD files across platforms. First released in September 1999. [25][2]

Browser-Based and Cloud-Connected Roles

[edit]

SolidWorks provides browser-based and cloud-connected roles as part of its 3DExperience platform, which enables users to run SolidWorks applications directly through a web browser and connect design data to a cloud environment. These roles, such as 3D Creator and 3D Sculptor, support design and modeling tasks without requiring local installation of the software, allowing for centralized data management and version control within the cloud.[26][27][28][29][30][31]
