645 SolidWorks Testimonials

“There was always a demand, a need, for what I could do, and I was always interested in learning how to use new tools to meet that need. Whenever I encounter an obstacle, I don’t throw up my hands and quit, I look for a solution to the problem, which includes investigating new tools that may have a bearing on the issue at hand.”

“SolidWorks eDrawings® files have helped us to communicate design concepts more effectively with customers and partners. We recently completed our first project in SolidWorks Professional, and used eDrawings files to present our designs to our customer for preliminary and critical design reviews, which went very well.”

“We started using SolidWorks software when we won a job that required SolidWorks software data as the delivered CAD format. Our headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee, was already implementing the software, so we made the decision to transition to 100 percent SolidWorks 3D CAD software at our Phoenix facility.”

“Using SOLIDWORKS FEA and CFD analysis capabilities, we can conduct 10 virtual tests on 10 different design options in one month. Doing the same thing with actual tests—the way we used to do it—would take at least three months and tens of thousands of euros. We have shortened our prototyping/testing cycles and cut their costs by 99 percent through the use of SOLIDWORKS structural and CFD simulations.”

“3DEXPERIENCE Works data management capabilities enable us to more easily assign the projects to the designers, track the progress of the assigned tasks, and maintain revision control and related drawing changes. We have multiple units and vendors in different locations; hence the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is critical for managing our data while designers access design files and collaborate from all of our locations. This data management solution also reduces IT overhead in terms of adding servers and their maintenance because it is hardwareindependent and operates in the cloud.”

“Dyson’s done everything that everyone in engineering wants to do. He has a lightbulb moment and makes it a reality.”

“With the automation that SOLIDWORKS Premium software provides, we’ve cut our vehicle assembly cycle times nearly by half and improved quality along the way. In fact, we can leverage the dynamic motion, interference detection, and FEA analysis tools of SOLIDWORKS Premium software to increase the assembly accuracy and meet our performance targets for both components and assemblies.”

“We have several cylinders that exert up to 1.5 tons in the center or at the end of the [weightlifting] bars.”

"We can do these expensive and complex drop tests directly in [3DEXPERIENCE Works Simulation], which is a big time-saver. The opportunity we have with the 3DEXPERIENCE Works Simulation is that we can reject early [design] ideas digitally, saving a lot of money and time [on the back end]."

“Thanks to the ease of sharing files both internally and externally, more engineers can work on the same design project simultaneously if needed. That makes the whole department more effective and profitable.”

"The number one reason I chose 3DEXPERIENCE is that you can manage the data and share it, being certain that everyone is using the latest version. By uploading the data to the cloud, you can share design data while staying at home."

"Virtually everything we do – including working with assemblies, generating drawings, and communicating with vendors – requires fewer steps in SolidWorks."

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

"The 3DEXPERIENCE platform really helps out not just with collaboration from team member to team member, but also with tools like xShape. Now we have [a 3DEXPERIENCE Works tool with] SubD modeling that is actually dimensionable, it is so useful."

"We now have a consistent way of getting data in and generating accurate designs using design tables and configurations."
