What differentiates SOLIDWORKS from other similar products?

One of the most pleasurable software i have worked on for designing. As a mechanical engineer, I have worked with different modeling softwares. This one is quite intuitive and hence saves a lot of time. Implements real world physics and logic.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The drawings are so explanatory and easy to understand that I had a great time explaining in my final project. Doesn't require much thinking to understand. Hence a non technical person is also able to easily grasp the concepts.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Had some difficulty in learning simulation and assembly portion of modeling. So it would be great if some training material is provided by the company.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Will always be my first choice if I;m given an array of different modeling software. For complex and higher industry level application, a bit patience is required and you might experience some less degree of freedom. But for moderately complex products, this is a great option to go for.

Pros

  • Unique Features
  • Respectful
  • Fair
  • Helps Innovate

Detailed Review of Solidworks

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates SOLIDWORKS from other similar products?

Solidworks provides us with the ease of creating 3D models and also helps in drafting the 2D drawing sheet as per the model. Solidworks also provides us with the parametric modelling features which helps us to bring changes to the 3D CAD model as per our convenience.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Solidworks helps us create 3D models and also helps us to bring changes to the 3D CAD model without affecting the entire CAD file by using the Parametric modelling feature.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Some of the features which Solidworks can improve is implementing automatic constraints to the sketch and it can also add an option in the assembly feature to directly show whether the parts have been locked or proper constraints have been put in place.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend them to practice on Solidworks more in order to gain a good level of proficiency on the same.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Efficient Service
  • Inspires Innovation
