SolidXperts Innover à la puissance 3D


 


Industrial Machinery



At present, industrial machinery customers demand products that will perform with reliability for more complex tasks. To meet competitive challenges, manufacturers need them quickly and within budget.

SolidWorks® software provides the complete range of integrated modeling, simulation, visualization and communication tools, which enable manufacturers of industrial machinery and heavy equipment to design better products faster and at a lower cost.


Click on the link(s) below to see how SolidWorks can help you meet your challenges at each stage of Industrial Machinery design.

 

 

 

Quickly create Conceptual Designs and/or Configurations

With Instant3D, you can easily put design ideas onscreen as workable conceptual machinery models by converting 2D sketches and photos into 3D solids.


 SolidWorks also offers:

  • SolidWorks Enterprise PDM.  Quickly identify similar in designs by file name or properties. 
  • SolidWorks Search.  Find similar product designs and reuse the data . 
  • DriveWorksXpress®.  Automate repetitive design tasks and generation of parts, assemblies and drawings. 
  • SolidWorks eDrawings® files, DWGviewer, and 3D Instant Website.  Securely and effectively communicate your ideas to 3D with any business, regardless of their CAD platform. 
  • PhotoWorks™ and SolidWorks animation capabilities.  Use photorealistic renderings and animations to clearly illustrate how your products will appear and perform.

Produce Design Iterations faster.

The priority of your team is to develop accurate designs faster.  With thanks to SWIFT™ (SolidWorks Intelligent Feature Technology) and our heads-up interface, you are now able to create and deliver innovative, accurate 3D models, by making fewer selections and clicks.  With a small learning curve, this technology allows beginners to design at an expert level. 


 SolidWorks also offers:

  • Specialized weldments, mold, and sheet-metal design tools. 
  • DimXpert.  Automate drawing views and dimensioning to speed design rendering.
  • Interference checking in 3D before assembly.
  • Ensure assembly fit through hole alignment checking.
  • Fully integrated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software. Eliminate mechanism and structural design failure with stress, thermal, kinematics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and weldment analysis capabilities, as well as part analysis and optimization. 
  • SolidWorks Enterprise PDM.  Securely manage design versions, track changes, prevent overwrites, and reduce errors.
  • Fully associative top-down and bottom-up design techniques. If you make a change, and SolidWorks applies it across your entire model.

Ensure that your Designs are Manufacturable

Your team has designed a winning product, but it can only be  manufactured when the design reaches the production floor.  You can anticipate the outcome, and save considerably with DFMXpress, which will test the viability of designs to prevent manufacturing issues.

SolidWorks also offers:

  • Automatic bill of material (BOM) generation, ensuring accurate purchasing lists and allowing early ordering of parts and materials.
  • Certified CAM Partners for manufacturing.
  • Automatic generation of final 3D database, 2D production drawings, and animated assembly instructions for manufacturer reference.
  • SolidWorks product data management software.  Track release levels and revision history throughout the product life.

Publish complete & accurate Documentation

If your products are ready for production and marketing, use 3DVIA Composer to create accurate, detailed technical manuals and consumer instructions.


 SolidWorks also offers:

  • Design Checker.  Ensure that drawings comply with company standards.
