• SolidWorks animation capability – allows users to easily capture and create animations to demonstrate how assemblies and part move prior to manufacturing. These are helpful during the design review process and can also be used in sales and marketing collateral.


• PhotoWorks – lets user produce compelling, photo quality images that add visual impact to designs, and streamlines prototyping costs and time to market.


• 3D Instant Website – makes design communication easier by enabling SolidWorks users to create and publish live Web pages featuring 3D interactive content with one mouse click. SolidWorks also offers Internet hosting options for 3D Instant Website at no extra charge.

CAD Productivity Tools

• SolidWorks Toolbox – A virtual Machinery’s Handbook with over a million parts such as fasteners, bearings, structural sections, and cams. Toolbox allows users to take advantage of SolidWorks,. Smart Part Technology, a unique capability that automates assembly tasks (such as inserting, orienting, and sizing a series of bolts, screws, washers, or nuts correctly into holes located in a 3D model with just one command).


• FeatureWorks – eases sharing of 3D models between organization using different CAD systems. FeatureWorks helps recreate or introduce new features when brining 3D models created in other CAD application into SolidWorks.


• SolidWorks Utilities – speeds up the design editing process by enabling the user to analyze features in a model, compare the features and parts between two different designs, and edit, modify, and suppress different features.


• SolidWorks Design Checker - A timesaving tool for ensuring compliance with your organization's design standards.
