Overall Satisfaction with SOLIDWORKS
We use SOLIDWORKS to create 3D drawing for mainly aerospace fasteners. We need to create drawings for First Article Inspection Reports AS9102, and SOLIDWORKS is very helpful in creating 3D drawings. We use SOLIDWORKS to create mil-spec fasteners for example, bolts, screws, washers and o-rings.
Pros
- Simulation and Analysis
- Sheet metal Design
- 3D modeling
Cons
- complex assembly management
- Difficulty in maintaining smooth transitions between different surface patches, potentially leading to design inconsistencies.
- Need for more sophisticated material properties and behaviors within simulation tools, especially for specialized applications like composites or non-linear materials.
- Large assemblies can push the limits of even high-end hardware, potentially causing performance issues on less powerful machines.
- significantly increasing design productivity
- reduced design errors
- improved product quality
- ultimately a positive ROI through cost savings and enhanced competitiveness
The ease of using it and smooth transition from any software,
