To use SolidWorks, apparently, you should make sure your PC meets the SolidWorks requirements. In addition, SolidWorks has 3 main education versions: SolidWorks Student Design Kit (an edu SolidWorks with limited functionality), SolidWorks Education Edition (a licensed edu SolidWorks used to teach students), and SolidWorks Student Edition (a version for students to use outside the classroom). SOLIDWORKS Premium: It includes all the functions of the professional version, plus some functions of SOLIDWORKS Simulation that used to analyze stress, strain and displacement for parts and assemblies, Routing (Piping, Tubing, plus Wiring and Harness layout), TolAnalyst (GD&T Tolerance analyse tool), CircuitWorks, and Sustainability.SOLIDWORKS Professional: It includes all the functions of the standard version, plus Design Checker, eDrawings Professional, FeatureWorks, ScanTo3D (Utility for converting scanned data into solid models), PDMWorks Workgroup, Task Scheduler, Toolbox, Utilities (Additional tools for selecting features and comparing features and geometry), and 3D Instant Website.These tools can meet the needs of most companies. SOLIDWORKS Standard: It includes tools like 3D modeling, engineering drawings, assembly drawings, sheet metal, welding, and other functions.Apparently, the higher the version, the more features it has.Īt present, there are mainly 3 kinds of commercial SolidWorks versions: SOLIDWORKS Standard, SOLIDWORKS Professional, and SOLIDWORKS Premium. In addition, the beta version of SolidWorks 2021 has been released. So far, from SolidWorks 95 to SolidWorks 2020, there are 28 versions of SolidWorks together. CAE tools are being used, for example, to analyse the robustness and performance of components and assemblies. CAE encompasses simulation, validation, and optimisation of products and manufacturing tools. CDE: It primarily uses CAD software, which are sometimes called CAE tools.It is extensively used in many fields, including automotive, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries, industrial and architectural design, prosthetics, special effects in movies, and many more. CAD: It is the use of computers (or workstations) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design.SolidWorks is a solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) computer program that is published by Dassault Systèmes and runs primarily on Microsoft Windows.
