Versatile tool in part design
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates SOLIDWORKS from other similar products?
SolidWorks is a must-have tool in solid, feature-based modeling design that takes advantage of the easy-to-learn graphical interface. It enables you to create fully associative 3D solid models with or without constraints while simultaneously using automatic or user-defined relationships to capture design intent. It provides all the tools you need to develop your designs quickly and efficiently.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
SolidWorks has an intuitive and easy-to-use interface that allows seamless work between part design. It enables you to work with smart, easy-to-understand geometric features such as bosses, cuts, holes, ribs, fillets, chamfers, and draft angles. The layout manager not only shows the sequence in which the features were created, it also makes it easy for you to access all the underlying related information.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It is a bit complex to handle its functions when the user is a beginner. Also, this software sometimes makes the computer run a little slow.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
This software is a very innovative tool that every company in the engineering area needs to have, for the design of parts and prototypes. Its easy-to-use interface and its many advantages make it the best modeling software. I recommend it.
Pros
- Reliable
- Trustworthy
- Unique Features
- Caring
