SOLIDWORKS FAQ's

What does SOLIDWORKS do?

At its core, SOLIDWORKS helps mechanical engineers design products. SOLIDWORKS does this by making it easy for the designer to visualize and communicate a 3D concept. The designer can make changes to the design, validate the design against requirements, and prepare the design for production in manufacturing.

What is SOLIDWORKS?

SOLIDWORKS (stylized as SOLIDWORKS) is a solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) computer program that runs on Microsoft Windows. SOLIDWORKS is published by Dassault Systèmes.

What is CAD?

CAD (computer-aided design) software is used by architects, engineers, drafters, artists, and others to create precision drawings or technical illustrations. CAD software can be used to create two-dimensional (2-D) drawings or three-dimensional (3-D) models.

CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) is software used to design products such as electronic circuit boards in computers and other devices.

Is SOLIDWORKS easy to use?

Yes, SOLIDWORKS is easy to use. It’s also easy to learn, which the same thing is not always.

And, there are lots of shortcuts and customisations you can do to make using SOLIDWORKS even easier (and faster) once you learn it.

This opens the door for many techniques. For these reasons, training is highly recommended so that you can make the best choices when working with all of SOLIDWORKS’ easy-to-use capabilities.
