The new release of the SOLIDWORKS 2020 was announced by its parent company named Dassault Systèmes. The new CAD platform comes with several integral features as well as tools that defines the latest version of the technology and an urge to follow the 3DEXPERIENCE (Dassault’s cloud-based platform).
SOLIDWORKS meet 3DEXPERIENCE
After the introduction of SOLIDWORKS 2020, the difference is not clearer when it comes to the solely independent 3DEXPERIENCE. The latter is a set of cloud-based intended applications that endeavors to give unified integration all over the product development process. However, the goal is now turned into a great challenge as post three years of collaboration, Ericsson (Swedish telecom firm) switched itself off from the platform. Jaguar Land Rover was also unsuccessful in applying the 3DEXPERIENCE model after working for a decade to adjust changes. These issues have now become the turning point for Dassault Systèmes to push SOLIDWORKS to 3DEXPERIENCE. The company hopes to regain faith with SOLIDWORKS to win the battle with 3DEXPERIENCE.
The Portfolio of 3DEXPERIENCE.WORKS
Aaron Kelly is the cloud advocacy director at SOLIDWORKS who gave precise details about the release of SOLIDWORKS 2020. Kelly commenced on the demo presented for the software by addressing ten new software which was launched the same year as the 3DEXPERIENCE.WORKS portfolio. The advocate director further states that SOLIDWORKS 2020 is a leading application in the 3DEXPERIENCE.WORKS portfolio. The 3D Sculptor under the MechDesign is defined as the sectional modeling application xShape, and 3D Creator includes xDesign which is a browser-based parametric modeler. The director of Product Portfolio Management states that ABAQUS has the finest technology for structural simulation in the world. Industry innovation, 3D Component Designer, Change Management, etc. are listed under Data Mgmnt; they aim to bring product data management (PDM) to the SMEs.
Features of SOLIDWORKS 2020
- The application is Make Part Flexible
- Allows bellows, springs, and hinges for showcasing numerous variations in compressed and uncompressed assembly.
- Plastic housing used for positioning two mates
- Detailing mode to open big drawing files quickly
- Edit and add symbols and annotations
- Print and save without opening the drawing
- SOLIDWORKS 2020 assures improvements in data management and electrical design
Building a Bridge
SOLIDWORKS 2020 helps to engulf the loyal users who were looking for a new and advanced system. Certainly, its features, such as enlarged design view, the Make Part Flexible, as well as detailing mode, have extended the parts of improvements. However, the main attention of SOLIDWORKS 2020 is driven to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Dassault is trying to enhance the capabilities of SOLIDWORKS by adding digital experience to the application. The CEO explains to build a bridge to the platform for users to experience the offerings of 3DEXPERIENCE.WORKS.
