“Using SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, we not only come to understand where areas of turbulence damage the clean flows that we need, but also determine how changes to the valve design can smooth the flow, reducing prototyping and machining costs. In just a few minutes, our engineers can use …

“Weight and resistance are important factors in delivering increasingly lighter and more resistant equipment. We develop and parameterize a 3D model with SOLIDWORKS, which we use for pre-interference analysis. Then, we use 3DEXPERIENCE Works SIMULIA Structural Mechanics Engineer to simulate the design and determine whether it is within required parameters—based …

“While we evaluated other FEA systems, we chose SIMULIAworks because it was the only product that delivered results comparable to those achieved through traditional prototyping techniques, We also value the ability to change the subject geometry inside SOLIDWORKS without having to apply the modifications in SIMULIAworks or create a new …

“R&D had progressed to the point at which we needed to streamline processes and refine the design. In addition to needing better design, simulation, and visualization tools, the engineers that we hired had experience using one 3D system in particular. That was SolidWorks.”

“Designing the engine and main structural frame was fairly straightforward, involving generic shapes. Creating the fan blades and housings was another matter. On some parts, everything is a curve, and many are made using composite materials. SolidWorks gave us the surfacing, simulation, and flow simulation tools that we needed to …

"With SolidWorks, we are saving time and controlling costs at practically every step of the development process, from component design to system assembly."

“Using SolidWorks software, we can create a mold in three weeks, and go from a napkin drawing to a CNC-machined pattern in a week.”

"From an engineering standpoint, SolidWorks software is easy to learn and easy to use. That’s why we do all of our design work in SolidWorks."

"We had SolidWorks up and running in a month and implemented PDMWorks Enterprise within a week."

”There is no question about it. We do save both time and money thanks to the computer simulations in SolidWorks.”

“Typically you would get in, measure it, get out, and fit a piece. Instead Parsons got in the vehicle and did a 3D scan of the inside of the chassis, and imported that data file into SOLIDWORKS. Then we build the roll cage around that 3D model that we scanned. …

“With SolidWorks, we can model something up in a fraction of the time of other packages, use integrated simulation tools to make sure that the design can withstand adverse conditions, and use PhotoView 360 to show the system in photorealistic detail. SolidWorks lets us simultaneously create, test, build, and demonstrate …

“The purpose of the project was to demonstrate that we can conceive, develop, and execute complex systems and get them out quickly. We basically built a UAV in a week and a half, and SolidWorks played a major role in that effort. Because of this project, we’re now developing a …

"Making a design change is at least 50 percent faster with SolidWorks, and the enhanced visualization in 3D allows us to identify more interferences."

"With DraftSight, we can manipulate past projects and our design library of P&ID symbols to save time and effort. In short, DraftSight gives us greater flexibility to work with 2D file formats and design entities more quickly and easily."
