SOLIDWORKS Reviews & Product Details

I have been using SolidWorks since 2021 and find it highly user-friendly, feature-rich, and reliable for simulations like FEA and CFD, as well as manufacturing analysis through CAM. Its smooth integration with other software and strong customer support make it easy to use on a regular basis.

Implemention of this software is user friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only drawback is occasional lag or crashes with very large assemblies, but overall, it remains a competent and versatile engineering solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SolidWorks is a comprehensive CAD, CAM, and CAE software that stands out for its user-friendly interface. It provides robust 3D modeling and mold design features, all within its own integrated platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While this software offers impressive capabilities, it does have some downsides. Its demanding nature means that it requires a high-performance system to run smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In built Simulation tools are really helpful in testing strength, motion and performance.

Can reduce cost before expensive prototyping.

Best and in industry standard in mechanical engineering design.

User friendly interface .

Widely used among the design community.

Customer support is excellent.

This is the software used among the world, for 2D ,3D Designs and other technical drawings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Requires very high system requirements, so that you need a powerful pc.

License is a bit expensive, and no free versions for students as well.

Slow and crashes for large assemblies

Limited Support for mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used solid works since many years, the way they are making change in the software upgrades and making it robust to make a design is awesome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Now they are moved to the Cloud platform, which is okay but organisations are tiny and they should continue to give the perpetual licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using for modelling of complicated components and assemblies which can be import in ANSYS or ABAQUS for Finite element simulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Somewhat not convinient for surface modelling for thin structures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's user interface is wonderful. The hotkey setups are great and the integration with it's PDM system is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It crashes much too frequently. It's file references when not using a PDM system break constantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is friendly, you can learn very fast, and used a lot in the industry Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Large assemblies slow down quickly. SOLIDWORKS can struggle with performance when dealing with thousands of parts or complex mates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best toolds for 3d desing out there. Very intuitive, easy to use plus you save loads of time. Great customer support too! Use it weekly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When used, the product still lacked some polished AI futures which could make it really stand out and save even more time, specially when designing for complex assemblies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Making parts and assemblies to see final discrepancies in the full model for collision detection Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mirror feature, which only creates a solid body without changing the full design tree and mirroring each feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solidworks has a great user interface to have a best modelling experience with great accuracy. Ease of implementation with customised tool bar. It has great number of features to help out one with a excellent customer support. It allows user to have a good frequency to use it. Easily integrate with any other modelling software as well.
