DriveWorks

Join us for demonstrations of DriveWorks design automation, where you can reduce or eliminate the minor product reinvention that takes up so much time for many companies. Do you engineer to order within certain parameters? DriveWorks Rules Wizard will let you capture and edit with the rules needed to specify, design, and manufacture custom parts with limited engineering input.

DriveWorks lets you automate many repetitive tasks, so that you can generate design and manufacturing outputs almost instantaneously. You can automate the production of product quotations without wasting engineering resources. DriveWorks scaleable solutions will allow you to truly focus on product development rather that product reengineering.

What's In SolidWorks Premium

SolidWorks Premium software integrates a broad range of mechanical CAD, design validation, design communication, and CAD productivity tools in a single, affordable easy to use package. Technology ranging from SWIFT to assembly motion simulation and design standards checking are just a few examples of what you will see.

SolidWorks EPDM Overview

SolidWorks Enterprise PDM (EPDM) provides an easy way for designers to collaborate on product designs without worrying about version control or data loss. It stores CAD models and supporting documents-anything from emails to images-in an indexed central repository that tracks versions and automates workflows to eliminate wasteful repetition.

EPDM is designed for organizations that have anywhere from one designer to hundreds, divide engineering work among multiple locations; and/or outsource engineering work.

Assembly Motion

Simply by clicking and dragging components, you can check an assembly for proper motion and collisions. In addition, you can simulate physical motion involving assembly mates, contact, springs, and gravity. SolidWorks Motion also provides accurate measurements of velocity, accelerations, and forces on components due to motion - so you have a realistic understanding of design decisions before producing the prototype product.

SolidWorks Enterprise PDM - How Long Has That File Been Waiting For Approval?

Enterprise PDM workflows represent internal approval or release processes practiced within your company. You can use the workflow capabilities to automate a manual or papers based process, notify users of the document status and also control user or group access to files. But what happens after you submit that document for approval? It seems the question "Can I set an automatic reminder to alert someone if a file has been in a state beyond a certain amount of days?" comes up frequently when talking about workflows.
