20 12
20 1 1 On September 20th, 2008, DS SolidWorks released SolidWorks 20 12, which is the 20th edition of SolidWorks CAD software. In SolidWorks 20 12, more than 200 functions have been added and improved, which can better help improve the innovation ability of enterprises and the work efficiency of design teams.
This version adds many functions such as large-scale drawing review and roaming, among which large-scale drawing review can quickly open complex large-scale assembly and save system resources. Roaming function can imitate the observation trend of human eyes and can see complex structures more clearly.
Moreover, this version also officially claims to be more in line with the GB version, such as adding a new imitation font and GB drawing template. It is worth mentioning that it is officially declared that Solidworks20 12 will be the last version to support Windows XP, and this prompt can pop up a prompt box during initial installation.

20 10
SolidWorks20 10 provides many new functions, which can improve the work efficiency of designers and engineers. For example, the patent-pending quick dimensioning function can display new size placement options and rearrange existing sizes neatly and symmetrically to make room for the selected size. Configure the publisher so that users can easily publish the interface to 3D Content Center? Service so that replacement models can be easily configured. The patent-pending dexterous mouse gesture has made unprecedented progress in simplifying hand movements. SolidWorks 20 10 also provides greatly enhanced reference plane creation method, sheet metal function, welding performance, component mirroring function and direct editing tools. Using PhotoView 360, beginners can also design photo-level image rendering effects like masters.
SolidWorks20 10 update
Compared with solidworks2009, SolidWorks 20 10 has added and improved more than 300 functions, mainly including the following aspects:
* Sketches and features
* Edge welding and advanced beam shell model
* Assembly and configuration
* New functions of SolidWorks enterprise PDM 20 10
* Sports
* 3DVIA Composer 20 10 new features
* Engineering drawings
Continue to improve the design function
SolidWorks 20 10 has greatly improved the drawing function of engineering drawings, and the operation of dimensioning will be more concise. This includes merging multiple paragraphs of text by dragging and dropping, automatic equidistant layout of multi-dimensional dimensions, flexible editing of parts list and tolerance dimensions, etc. In the assembly drawing, the new version provides the visualization function of detailed information of parts, as well as parameters such as weight, material, whether the parts are purchased, price and so on. It can also be directly imported into Excel for output.
The 3D modeling tool adds the function of drawing the mid-plane and cross-plane of pelvic cavity, which simplifies the design of high-complexity model. In the assembly environment, accurate mirror copy, motion interference check and parametric stress analysis of parts are allowed. The SpeedPak technology introduced in the previous version has also been further enhanced. This function can reduce the utilization rate of computer memory while maintaining the complete details and correlation of graphics, so as to create and use large assemblies and engineering drawings efficiently without calling a lot of memory.
In addition, editing the directly imported solid model is a very important new function, which will greatly reduce the workload when calling the old design. The user interface seems to use the ruler of Instant3D technology, which can be modified by dragging directly. The editing tool records the new features generated by modification in the feature tree, so the imported model can be easily restored to the original state.
Brand-new environmental assessment tools
Different from the enhancement function for CAD, SolidWorks 20 10 also adds a tool to evaluate the impact of design environment, which is not available in similar software. The research and development code of this tool is "Sage", which is based on the environmental impact quantification tool GaBi of PE International. GaBi is used to quantify the environmental performance of materials, processes, products and infrastructure, including more than100,000 impact models. It can evaluate sustainability from different angles, such as greenhouse gas, energy, the most significant environmental impact, life cycle cost and social impact.
Sage appears as a dashboard at the bottom of the user interface. In order to reduce the adverse environmental impact, designers and engineers can create "benchmark" designs in Sage, and then compare each new design with it. When designers choose different materials, processes or design methods, the influence reflected on the dashboard will also change.
For example, the design target carbon emission is100t, and the analysis results may show that 50% comes from material selection, 40% comes from manufacturing process, and 10% comes from disposal after scrapping. Carbon emissions can be reduced if materials with less impact are used. Sage software can also generate various reports for in-depth analysis.
Just like the design verification tool Simulation, the deeply integrated Sage will help engineers to consider environmental protection indicators in the design process, which can greatly reduce the rework caused by environmental protection failure. CEO Jeff Ray once said that SolidWorks will continue to invest in environmental protection, and SolidWorks 20 10 will undoubtedly be a landmark step, which is also the continuation of the theme of "Green Design Inspires the Future" on last year's Innovation Day.
2009
SolidWorks2009 is the version of 17 released by SolidWorks, in which 90% of the increase of more than 200 new functions comes from customers' requests. Here are the new features of SolidWorks.

2008
Solidworks 2008 released by SolidWorks Company provides more than 250 new functions enhanced according to users' requirements, which is 15 times faster than the same medium-sized software. SolidWorks2005 released the creativity of designers and engineers by greatly improving the large-scale assembly process and automating hundreds of complex tasks, so that users can design better, more attractive and more popular products with only a fraction of the time required by similar software.
For example, powerful drawing automation enhancements enable designers to create product-level engineering drawings from large components at an unprecedented speed. The new optical drawing tool enables users to create assembly drawings without loading each part into memory. Simply drag and drop a component into the drawing, and the user can generate a 2D drawing with 10,000 components in about10 seconds. Many systems cannot create such a large assembly view. SolidWorks 2005 also enables design engineers to generate a single bill of materials for multiple projects with numerous parts, huge quantity and complex configuration for the first time, which is the key link to speed up design to production. Other important new drawing automation includes automatic numbering, hole summary table and revision tracking table. Save time, improve productivity, make products look better, have better performance and be more popular in the market. No other software can match the performance of SolidWorks. SolidWorks generates engineering drawing annotations 10 times faster than competitor 2D products-which is also an important reason to attract 2D software users to migrate to 3D software.
The basic idea of SolidWorks 2008 is to help engineers design great products. With 3DLib plug-in, hundreds of thousands of model libraries can be directly called, and the design can be completed more conveniently and quickly. It is embodied in the following aspects:
1. Enhance the customer experience
Improve the stereoscopic display effect. SolidWorks 2008 provides the technology of quickly previewing 3D lightweight models, which further improves the display speed of large-scale assembly models. At the same time, it supports the true 3D display effect on the design interface, which achieves the display effect of the previous dedicated 3D rendering software. Easily edit large assemblies. It is very convenient to select some parts from large assembly for display, editing and motion simulation.
Enhanced SWIFT technology. On the basis of sketch experts, matching experts and feature experts published in SolidWorks 2007, corner experts (automatically generating reasonable rounded corners in complex topological structures), tolerance experts (reasonably distributing tolerances) and large-scale assembly experts (checking whether large-scale assembly is correct) are introduced to help customers produce parts and assembly structures more conveniently. Minimize customers' repeated operations and let users pay more attention to the design itself during use.
2. Help customers design better products.
CosmosXpress was added in the early version of SolidWorks, so that engineers can experience the effect of simulation analysis in the design process. SolidWorks2008 will provide Cosmos MotionXpress (motion simulation analysis), Cosmos FloXpress and DFMXpress (manufacturability analysis) and other modules, so that engineers can better verify the design.
In order to cooperate with engineers to develop 3D models quickly, we can directly call the 3DLib plug-in model library.
In addition, SolidWorks also established SolidWorks Laboratory, which is specialized in cutting-edge research and development. Provide four products for readers to experience and feedback.
1)cosmos express Now. This is a network-based simulation and analysis software.
2) Drawing now. This is a web-based drawing and file collaboration software. Designers have control over drawing files, and others can browse and print them online, but they cannot modify them.
3) zoom in. This software can package all kinds of models generated by 3D software, and then make multimedia presentations of products with sound effects.
4) Drawing Navigator. This software provides an advanced search engine, which can search DWG files according to their attributes and geometric features, and can convert drawing files between any Autocad versions.
PDMWorks Enterprise supports multi-site design collaboration, and SolidWorks drawings can be stored in multiple mirror servers to ensure the safety of drawings and documents. This software is a perfect product based on PDM system of Swedish Conisio company acquired by SolidWorks in May 2006. In SolidWorks2008, the product will support the Chinese version.
In addition, Chris also introduced that the online exchange website of 2D drawings and 3D models of parts provided by SolidWorks now supports Chinese.
