I like how SOLIDWORKS makes mechanical design easy and efficient. The 3D modeling tools are powerful and intuitive, which really helps in creating precise models and making design changes quickly. I also appreciate the features like assemblies, drawings, configurations, and design modifications, as they save a lot of time. It's great to quickly visualize the final product and make changes before manufacturing. Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation for basic engineering analysis lets me understand potential design performance and identify issues before they happen, which fits well with my complete mechanical design workflow.

One area that could be improved is performance when working with very large or complex assemblies, where the software can sometimes become slower. Some advanced features can also take time to learn, especially for new users. I would also like to see faster loading, better performance with large files, and more intuitive tools for certain simulation and assembly workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
