THE world leader in 3D design software, Dassault Systèmes announced the release of Solidworks 2017, a revamped and improved version of the company’s flagship product, promising more core power and performance, as well as newer capabilities.
The latest software, updated to make performance 5-times faster, was unveiled during the company’s media launch yesterday at the Manila Peninsula Hotel in Makati.
“Solidworks 2017 simplifies the design and development process with a better user experience, new capabilities for emerging technologies, and improved functionality for seamless collaboration with teams and networks,” said Gian Paolo Bassi, CEO, Solidworks, Dassault Systèmes.
“Each year, our Solidworks community’s feedback drives our research and development to offer a flexible product portfolio for business, design and engineering needs. We are excited to put even more power and performance in their hands with Solidworks 2017,” he added.
Executives also bared that the Philippines is a primary “growth driver,” highlighting that the core of the company’s thrust is centered on the benefit of the consumers.
“The Philippines is a major country for us in terms of Solidworks technology,” said Benjamin Tan, Director of Professional Channels, Asia-Pacific South. “Our mission is to make great design happen. Over the years, our developers have actually created powerful, reliable and easy to use design technology.”
He also added that “one of the greatest thing about Solidworks is that it is intuitive” and wants users to “focus on their design,” noting as well that over the years, Solidworks has really developed as a leader in 3D software design.
Powered by Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, Solidworks 2017 helps innovators design, validate, collaborate, build and manage their product development processes with integrated applications.
Solidworks 2017 features more core power and performance, as well as new capabilities to address paperless manufacturing through the support of Model Based Definition, and printed circuit board design.
Both new and experienced users can improve productivity with simulation to analyze, solve, visualize and verify functionality of designs, before any prototype is created. New tools unlock any 3D model for better collaboration with vendors and customers, and dynamic product data management from concept through to manufacturing allows for stronger support of multi-site and remote teams.
