“On the new vehicle, SOLDIWORKS has done a tremendous job helping me maintain the master assembly file. The Mate tools provide great flexibility for piecing together the design, virtual parts are incredibly easy to work with when creating the initial concepts, and the feature tree and configuration manager make it …

“The key to profitably building custom titanium chairs is SolidWorks. Without it, we simply would not be in business.”

“Thanks to SOLIDWORKS Education Edition, we won our first year challenge. We were chosen for the design and production of the mast which included a laser target-selecting pointer. And it was the Lycée Victor Duruy which had the privilege, once again with the help of SOLIDWORKS, of integrating and assembling …

“SolidWorks gives us the confidence—the comfort factor—that we have addressed and resolved any issues prior to installation."

“When designing new prototype bogie mechanisms we can now easily check for clearance issues or other design problems before producing parts, which is more cost-effective and helps to accelerate the entire process. Also, with the large rail bend sections that many of our jobs require, the use of SolidWorks has …

“We need to analyze the structural performance of different types of components, from rails to car frames. With SolidWorks simulation tools, we can assess where we can remove material or where we need to beef a part up. Optimizing the strength-to-weight of cable car systems is important for reducing both …

"With SOLIDWORKS, I can clearly visualize the core design and use mass properties to maintain the integrity of design dynamics while changing the densities of the inner and outer cores to achieve the desired performance."

"Everything involved with developing and releasing a product proceeds more quickly and easily on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. For example, we regularly receive customer requests for slight modifications to existing products. Before we added 3DEXPERIENCE Works solutions, processing such requests would take two to three days. Now, we can process these …

“With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, we no longer have all these email conversations for drawings released by our Indonesian colleagues, because our language now is the design language associated with the part or product model or drawing. This makes it much easier to resolve any issues and has allowed us to …

"We make a lot of models and prototypes of our shoes, and SolidWorks has helped us to make greater use of virtual models. Overall, we have cut our development costs by 50 percent.”

“This system encompasses all the necessary functionalities to support a company’s growth, eliminating the need to switch solutions in the future. By moving our product development and manufacturing operations to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform in the cloud, we have increased productivity; eased IT, hardware, and administrative costs; improved communications; compressed workflows; …

“What Sigmund is really doing is orchestrating product development. Opinions too often set product directions, but objective data trumps opinion. We can now say, ‘Here are designs A, B, and C and the accompanying Sigmund studies. As you can see, Design B won’t meet the objective, so you’ve got to …

“The most important thing to us is to produce good, long-lasting, and efficient anti-vibration products, because we feel deeply responsible for the fact that our products are mounted on trains that transport children, including many of our own. SIMULIAworks gives us the full range of tools that we need to …

“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 …

“With SolidWorks, we brought our design time down from four months to a single month, reclaiming three months of potentially lost sales of a high-demand product. What we’ve done wouldn’t be possible without integrated CAD and simulation software for quickly iterating virtual prototypes.”
