Solidworks provide end to end solution for CAD designing for individual part or assembly

1. It consists of 3D viewing angle which works easily for any GPU

2. We can simulate different parameters and we can fix the material for a particular assembly or part.

3. We can record for the simulation and make it over 3D ground Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solidworks have complex license management which initially takes up a lot of time to install, sometime it gets stuck while operating in a heavy mesh operations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User friendly interface.easy to understand commands.multiple features to work with either part, weldment or sheet metal or assembly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simulation could have been more user friendly and better to understand.a newbie can't easily cope up with the motion manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use

Intuitive design

Smart Holes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

File size and not easy to share assemblies ie. Pack and Go solved this but spme Customers do not know this and send a drawing with no part or an assembky file without the parts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Package delivered as a whole. Multiphysics capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The hefty load time and bad ram management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SolidWorks is great for accurate models and renderings of the products we manufacture. It can handle complex geometry with ease and has a user friendly and attractive interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I've found is the occasional slowdown and sometimes crash. Usually that's more of computer/graphics card issue, or bad form in creating assemblies that are too large, but it is a challenge sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple User Interface gives the ease of learning. Along with the integration of 3DEXPERIENCE platform it provides certain fetaures which are beneficial like revision management, cloud storage makes data accessibility easy and secured Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SOLIDWORKS cannot be accessed whenThe 3DEXPERIENCE platform is on update. It is still unstable and launching SOLIDWORKS is sometimes troublesome wih the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use complex features and important tools. Good variety of tools available. Best software for 3d design, stimulation, analysis & topology optimization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

2D drawing is not good, I would rather prefer AutoCAD for it. The loading time is also a bit higher. Some of the tools are very complex to understand & use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Industry leading. Almost all features you need in a CAD program. Lots of add-ons and customisation options. Fast work flow. Interesting start-up subscription plan. FEA and motion study easy to use for simple simulations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solidworks drawing template environments are very cumbersome. Frequent crashes with loss of data. PDM too complex. Some minor bugs still present in Solidworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my experience, SOLIDWORKS stands out as the most comprehensive and user-friendly software I have used. Getting started with the program is simple, and fast. The fact that SOLIDWORKS is widely used means that finding native CAD files on websites like McMaster is much more convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On occasion, SOLIDWORKS can experience stability issues and unexpectedly crash while in use, which can be a source of frustration. However, there is an autosave tool that prevents losing data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
