SolidWorks 2010 Automotive industry solution

Automotive industry solution

The automotive market rewards design innovation that combines efficiency, reliability, and style. SolidWorks product development solutions integrate efficient 3D design with simulation to help you optimize size, weight, and performance. With Enterprise PDM you can easily collaborate across your development team and with manufacturing to make better parts, vehicles, and transportation systems faster – and at lower cost.

Why are these companies using SolidWorks?

• Because SolidWorks’s ease of use means that in a creative environment you can quickly go from an idea to a functioning product. Quickly visualise an idea in your head into a working model in front of you.

• Because SolidWorks’s advanced power and analytical tools enable you to further a design to its maximum potential. SolidWorks is stable, obtainable and never stops you from doing what you want to do.

• Because SolidWorks Simulation builds on your engineering knowledge to help you predict what might happen to a component when placed under certain stresses or mechanical influences.

• Because it allows you to create tailored products in a much shorter turnaround time. No longer must bespoke products take years to produce.

• Because it allows you to design complex geometry and large amounts of data into your product. You need to be sure that your design software will perform when placing a lot of different systems in one assembly.

• Because you need to be confident that you won’t have issues with a design later on in tooling and manufacture. Verify your design on your computer by using SolidWorks Simulation and Part Advisor to evaluate, analyse and debug a product.

• Because with eDrawings you can share your designs over email with third parties without requiring them to install software.

• Because 3D design allows you to visualise and explore your product in its entirety from any angle or cross-section. Counter any problems associated with heights, collisions and interferences before they occur.

• SolidWorks is the most intuitive and easiest-to-use 3D design system and enhances design communication. Accelerate design time, cut prototype circles, and reduce scrap and rework.
