Are you a SOLIDWORKS user ready to jump into simulation and start doing static analysis? There used to only be one tool for the job: SOLIDWORKS Simulation. Now there is a second option: 3DEXPERIENCE Structural Designer. So which should you choose? In this article, we’ll compare and contrast so you can make the right choice.
SOLIDWORKS recently released an option to buy SOLIDWORKS online, bypassing the need to purchase through a value-added reseller (VAR), generating quite a bit of buzz. Despite the appeal, buying SOLIDWORKS directly from SOLIDWORKS isn't the best option for everyone. In most situations, it makes more sense to purchase SOLIDWORKS from a value-added reseller like GoEngineer. Here's why.
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2025 brings some exciting new updates for your simulation needs. This article will explore new enhancements to the component selection tools for your analysis, bonding interactions, weld pin and spring connector options, and mesh improvements for assemblies.
When 3DEXPERIENCE users face connection issues while launching Design with SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Connected, it is often due to a connection issue with the collaborative space. Common signs include blank login dialogs, blank MySession task pane, and specific error messages such as, ‘Unable to connect to 3DEXPERIENCE’ or ‘Failed to establish connection with 3DEXPERIENCE server.’ This article covers a few possible ways to resolve these connection issues.
There are some great new quality and performance enhancements to SOLIDWORKS Visualize 2025. First, Visualize Boost now offers a more user-friendly interface that allows you to use multiple machines for your rendering tasks. With greater stability and machine discovery that has been made easier, you will now be able to set up an impressive rendering farm in no time at all.
Now, with the CircuitWorks add-in available in all levels of SOLIDWORKS (Premium, Professional, and Standard), anyone can open eCAD files. CircuitWorks has a completely overhauled user interface with 2025, including a new look and better scaling to 4K. With just this IDX file, CircuitWorks can build an entire 3D model. The assembly uses volume representations of components, keep-outs, cuts, and more.
Whether you're using drawings or Model Based Definition, SOLIDWORKS 2025 can help you document your designs faster than ever.
SOLIDWORKS PDM 2025 has gotten a lot of attention this year. You'll notice the first update during the PDM client install, where the option to install the SOLIDWORKS Electrical Connector is now available.
