SOLIDWORKS is used by the engineering team in the Cummins Electrified Power business unit for mechanical and electrical design.
  • Quick 3D modeling.
  • FEA analysis.
  • Good for smaller assemblies.
  • Weight and center of gravity analysis.
  • Crashes constantly with large assemblies.
  • It does not do well with imported files such as .step.
  • 3D routing in SW Electrical is clumsy.
  • Collaboration tools are behind the competition.
SOLIDWORKS is great for the majority of the designs but fails miserably in very large assemblies.
  • The fast learning curve for engineering team is a positive ROI.
All the issues we have reported go into a black hole. We get no response from SOLIDWORKS and issues don't get addressed on the updates.
