Solid. Works Wikipedia. Solid. Works is a solid modelingcomputer aided design CAD and computer aided engineering CAE computer program that runs on Microsoft Windows. Solid. Works is published by Dassault Systmes. According to the publisher, over two million engineers and designers at more than 1. Solid. Works as of 2. Also according to the company, fiscal year 2. Solid. Works totalled 4. HistoryeditSolid. Works Corporation was founded in December 1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate Jon Hirschtick. Design great products faster with free CAD collaboration, free CAD models and access to the worlds largest community of mechanical engineers. Hirschtick used 1 million he had made while a member of the MIT Blackjack Team to set up the company. Initially based in Waltham, Massachusetts, United States, Hirschtick recruited a team of engineers with the goal of building 3. D CAD software that was easy to use, affordable, and available on the Windows desktop. Operating later from Concord, Massachusetts, Solid. Works released its first product Solid. Works 9. 5, in November 1. In 1. 99. 7 Dassault, best known for its CATIA CAD software, acquired Solid. Works for 3. 10 million in stock. Jon Hirschtick stayed on board for the next 1.

The Sheffield Telegraph comments that Solidworks is the worlds most popular CAD software. Its user base ranges from individuals to large corporations, and covers a very wide cross section of manufacturing market segments. Commercial sales are made through an indirect channel, which includes dealers and partners throughout the world. In the United States, the first reseller of Solid. Crestron Torrent. Works, in 1. 99. 5, was Computer Aided Technology, Inc, headquartered in Chicago. Directly competitive products to Solid. Works include PTC Creo ElementsPro, Solid Edge, and Autodesk Inventor. Solid. Works also partners with third party developers to add functionality in niche market applications like finite element analysis, circuit layout, tolerance checking, etc. Solid. Works has also licensed its 3. Ppp Programs Brisbane there. D modeling capabilities to other CAD software vendors, notably ANVIL. Modeling technologyedit. Solid. Works top down design approach. Solid. Works is a solid modeler, and utilizes a parametric feature based approach to create models and assemblies. The software is written on Parasolid kernel. Parameters refer to constraints whose values determine the shape or geometry of the model or assembly. Parameters can be either numeric parameters, such as line lengths or circle diameters, or geometric parameters, such as tangent, parallel, concentric, horizontal or vertical, etc. Numeric parameters can be associated with each other through the use of relations, which allows them to capture design intent. Design intent is how the creator of the part wants it to respond to changes and updates. For example, you would want the hole at the top of a beverage can to stay at the top surface, regardless of the height or size of the can. Solid. Works allows the user to specify that the hole is a feature on the top surface, and will then honor their design intent no matter what height they later assign to the can. Features refer to the building blocks of the part. They are the shapes and operations that construct the part. Shape based features typically begin with a 2. D or 3. D sketch of shapes such as bosses, holes, slots, etc. This shape is then extruded or cut to add or remove material from the part. Operation based features are not sketch based, and include features such as fillets, chamfers, shells, applying draft to the faces of a part, etc. Solid. Works top down design approach. Building a model in Solid. Works usually starts with a 2. D sketch although 3. D sketches are available for power users. The sketch consists of geometry such as points, lines, arcs, conics except the hyperbola, and splines. Dimensions are added to the sketch to define the size and location of the geometry. Relations are used to define attributes such as tangency, parallelism, perpendicularity, and concentricity. The parametric nature of Solid. Works means that the dimensions and relations drive the geometry, not the other way around. The dimensions in the sketch can be controlled independently, or by relationships to other parameters inside or outside of the sketch. In an assembly, the analog to sketch relations are mates. Just as sketch relations define conditions such as tangency, parallelism, and concentricity with respect to sketch geometry, assembly mates define equivalent relations with respect to the individual parts or components, allowing the easy construction of assemblies. Solid. Works also includes additional advanced mating features such as gear and cam follower mates, which allow modeled gear assemblies to accurately reproduce the rotational movement of an actual gear train. Finally, drawings can be created either from parts or assemblies. Views are automatically generated from the solid model, and notes, dimensions and tolerances can then be easily added to the drawing as needed. The drawing module includes most paper sizes and standards ANSI, ISO, DIN, GOST, JIS, BSI and SAC. File formateditSolid. Works files previous to version 2. Microsoft Structured Storage file format. This means that there are various files embedded within each SLDDRW drawing files, SLDPRT part files, SLDASM assembly files file, including preview bitmaps and metadata sub files. Various third party tools see COM Structured Storage can be used to extract these sub files, although the subfiles in many cases use proprietary binary file formats.
