SolidWorks 2013 simplifies the design in 3D

Thanks to the platform 3DExperience of Dassault Systèmes, SolidWorks 2013 combines ease of use and wide options of personalización that allow to the new users learn of way faster and to the users with experience increase his productivity in tasks that before resulted complex. Basing in the success of the last 20 versions, the new offer covers the range of solutions of SolidWorks for the design in 3D, the simulation, the technical communication, the gestión of data of the product and the sustainable design.

“SolidWorks Allows me realise my work more quickly that any another package of CAD of the market”, affirms Robert Conley, owner of Interactive Cad Solutions. “My work requires to do the fast things to obtain a profit and SolidWorks allows me do it. I explain the days that are missing so that it was available the function of SolidWorks 2013 of interoperability with previous versions to be able to exchange better the designs with my customers and achieve a final product before”.

“With SolidWorks 2013 have kept our tradition to listen the requests of our customers with the only end to be able to offer them improvements and functions that simplify his lives and give place to the best products. The novelties in the capacities of main geometry and the extension of the range of product show our intention to follow investing in our product insignia”, commented Bertrand Sicot, executive director of SolidWorks, Dassault Systèmes. “SolidWorks 2013 allows to develop innovative designs with specific tools of the application that help to the users to define, share and validate of fast form the form, the entramado and the operation of his designs. We wish can see prompt how our customers do reality his ideas with greater rapidity”.

With SolidWorks 2013 results simpler to happen of the concept to the manufacture, thanks to new tools that allow a more effective simulation and a more detailed analysis of the costs and the environingingmental impact. Together with the improvements that detail to continuation, the packages SolidWorks plastics and SolidWorks Electrical presented recently contribute to that the users can take better decisions based that they translate in designs simplified, a lower number of errors and a faster commercialisation.

• SolidWorks Costing: It allows to the customers calculate the costs of a greater number of types of pieces of automatic form and create estimates more precise without surpassing the budget thanks to new data of costs improved and to API new.
• SolidWorks Sustainability: It compares quickly the economic impact of the raw materials and the environingingmental impact of an idea of design during the process of development thanks to new tools of estimate of the impact of the prime matter.
• SolidWorks Flow Simulation: It deletes the complexity of the designs of flow, allowing that the users visualise the flow of fluids in diverse geometries and compare of form simpler the results of the analysis of distinct configurations of design.

The new functionalities help to the users to create and modify complex geometries of way faster and simple, thanks to models in 3D more efficient and drawings in 2D.

• Conical in the system of reference of croquizador: absolute control of the forms to attain a simple transition between existent geometries.
• Intersection: add or it delete geometries without need of croquis.
• Operation ‘Matrix' of variable height: with them, the users will be able to save time to the hour to create matrices, increase the flexibility of the designs and reduce the number of necessary operations for the models.
• Assistant of ‘Sight of section': it accelerates the creation of drawings of production to obtain seen of section of form faster and coherent.

The following new tools allow to the users optimise the performance of an installation of SolidWorks and maximizar the productivity of the team of design.

• Signpost for administrators of CAD: allows to simplify the gestión and the resolution of problems of several users of SolidWorks inside a company from an only aggregated sight.
• Submodelado Of Simulation and Mallado incremental: it realise of form more precise, fast and efficient analysis of simulation of specific areas of complex models and of big size.
• Renderizado In network of PhotoView 360: it save time with a renderizado faster of images of photographic quality connecting several equipment to the same network to be able to share the computational load.

With the end to compensate the diverse nature that are used to to have the equipment of design, SolidWorks 2013 includes characteristics that optimise the collaboration, like the connectivity improved and capacities expanded of visualisation and exchange of designs and data.

• Interoperability with previous versions: attain a greater collaboration with customers, providers and internal equipment thanks to the possibility to open archives of SolidWorks 2013 directly with SolidWorks 2012 (SP5). The users will be able to work of form more efficient and improve the collaboration and the exchange of archives, what will allow to reduce the delays and will favour the transition to the last version.
• Flow of work of SolidWorks Enterprise Product Dates Management: distribute documents and contact with the users of form more effective to reduce the delays and accelerate the commercialisation.
• Integration with DraftSight/SolidWorks Enterprise PDM: access to the archives DWG of SolidWorks Enterprise PDM from the interface of user of DraftSight and incorporate the data of 2D in the process of design.
• eDrawings: The users can measure, select and mark designs from any place by means of a mobile device.
