Why teach SOLIDWORKS?

The SOLIDWORKS Education Program offers much more than software—it is a fully-integrated design and engineering analysis suite, supported by local resellers and a connection to a massive network of mentors and potential employers around the world, all built to increase classroom and career success.

What's Included?

The entire SOLIDWORKS suite of design and engineering solutions. SOLIDWORKS Education Edition includes:

SOLIDWORKS 3D Design

SOLIDWORKS 3D Design provides extensive 3D solutions with powerful capabilities for design, simulation, motion, and design validation, advanced wire and pipe routing, reverse engineering and much more.

SOLIDWORKS Simulation

Every engineer and designer can simulate and analyze design performance with fast, easy-to-use SOLIDWORKS Simulation CAD-embedded analysis solutions. You can quickly and easily employ advanced simulation techniques to test performance while you design.

SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation

SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is an intuitive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solution embedded within SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD that enables you to quickly and easily simulate liquid and gas flows through and around your designs to calculate product performance and capabilities.

SOLIDWORKS Plastics

SOLIDWORKS Plastics brings easy-to-use simulation of injection molding directly to the design of plastic parts and injection molds, as well as advanced CAE analysis. It simulates the flow of melted plastic during injection molding to predict manufacturing-related defects on parts and molds. You can quickly evaluate manufacturability while you design, to eliminate costly mold rework, improve part quality, and accelerate time to market. A Results Adviser provides troubleshooting steps and practical design advice that help users diagnose potential problems and find ways to avoid them.

SOLIDWORKS Electrical

SOLIDWORKS Electrical solutions are integral parts of the SOLIDWORKS design and simulation portfolio. A consistent, powerful, intuitive set of electrical design capabilities are fully integrated with SOLIDWORKS. Engineers and designers can establish integrated, embedded electrical systems design early in the design process and avoid costly rework throughout.

SOLIDWORKS MBD

SOLIDWORKS MBD (Model-Based Definition) is an integrated drawing- less manufacturing solution for SOLIDWORKS, guiding the manufacturing process directly in 3D instead of using traditional 2D drawings.

SOLIDWORKS Composer

SOLIDWORKS Composer™ enables you to easily use existing 3D design data to rapidly create and update high quality graphical assets that are fully associated with the 3D design. Users can routinely create 2D and 3D graphical content for product communication and technical illustrations in parallel with product development, simplifying the documentation process and accelerating time to market.

SOLIDWORKS CAM

SOLIDWORKS CAM lets you prepare your designs for manufacturability earlier in the development cycle. You can speed up the programming process with SOLIDWORKS CAM’s rules-based machining prowess, allowing you to teach the system your preferred standard machining strategies. Assigning machining strategies based on design tolerances means a reduction in errors and improvement in quality throughout the machining process. SOLIDWORKS CAM delivers powerful, knowledge- based CNC programming for part and assembly milling and turning that provides a single, integrated solution from design to manufacture.

SOLIDWORKS PDM

SOLIDWORKS PDM* (Product Data Management) solutions keep your design data under control. Storing and organizing CAD data and supporting documents is easy and helps your team collaborate, without having to worry about version control or data loss.

SOLIDWORKS Visualize

SOLIDWORKS Visualize combines industry-leading rendering capabilities with design-oriented features and workflows for easy, fast creation of visual content. A simple, intuitive interface enables users of any skill level to easily develop rich, photo-quality content for enhanced 3D decision-making. Import SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk® Alias® , Rhino® , SketchUp® , and many other CAD formats. Then create compelling scenes and the most realistic content possible.

eDrawings is the premier 2D, 3D and AR/VR design communication tool for stakeholders in the design-to-manufacture process as well as for external prospects and customers. Delivering a rich collaboration tool set, eDrawings enables everyone to speed up their design processes, communicating with clarity and precision to get to market faster. CAD and non-CAD users can share 3D models, interrogate them, create markups and then share these markups to accelerate the whole design process.

MySolidWorks for Students

MySolidWorks for Students connects students to SOLIDWORKS software outside the classroom or laboratory anytime from anywhere. With innovative licensing for SOLIDWORKS Education Edition, students can log on from anywhere on campus, from home, even away from home.
