GENERAL FAQs IN SOLIDWORKS

1. I am using 2D CAD. Why Should I go to SOLIDWORKS 3D?

2D CADs are mainly used to create detailing and drafting whereas SOLIDWORKS helps in designing and developing in 3D which helps in better visual understanding. It also helps to create drafting and detailed manufacturing drawings.

2. Can I use a legacy 2D CAD file to create 3D models in SOLIDWORKS?

Yes, SOLIDWORKS allows to import of 2D CAD Files such as DXF and DWG files and 3D Models can be created using the 2D views from DXF/DWG files as a reference inside the SOLIDWORKS environment.

3. Can Legacy 3D CAD files be imported inside SOLIDWORKS?

Yes, SOLIDWORKS Supports the import of Other 3D CAD Files such as Autodesk Inventor, Pro/ENGINEER and Creo Parametric, Solid Edge, Unigraphics. It also supports the import of Neutral Files such as IGES/IGS, STEP, Parasolid, etc.

4. Will all the features from the Other 3D CAD Files show in SOLIDWORKS?

The FeatureWorks software in SOLIDWORKS recognizes features on an imported solid body in a SOLIDWORKS part document. Recognized features are the same as features that you create using the SOLIDWORKS software. You can edit the definition of recognized features to change their parameters. For features that are based on sketches, after you recognize the features, you can edit the sketches from the SOLIDWORKS FeatureManager design tree to change the geometry of the features. However, it should be noted that not all features are recognized by Feature Works. Some geometry may not be recognized due to complexity.

5. I want to collaborate with different teams who use other 3D CADs.

Starting from SOLIDWORKS 2017, 3D Interconnect replaces SOLIDWORKS’ current translation capabilities with new technology and workflows for working with third-party native CAD data.
You can:
a. Insert proprietary CAD data directly into a SOLIDWORKS assembly without converting it to a SOLIDWORKS file.
b. Open the proprietary 3D CAD format in the SOLIDWORKS software with its associative link to the original part.
c. Update changes in the SOLIDWORKS file if you update the proprietary CAD data in its authoring application by maintaining all downstream features created in SOLIDWORKS.
d. Break the link of the inserted part file with the original part file. With the technology, you can work with other 3D CAD in the same native format without the need for translation to SOLIDWORKS Files.

6. Is it possible to apply the material to models in SOLIDWORKS?

SOLIDWORKS Comes with an Inbuilt material library that includes Steel, Iron, Aluminium, Copper, Titanium, Zinc, Plastics, non – Metals such as Air, Water, Rubber, Wood, etc.
All the materials include mechanical properties such as Elastic Modulus, Tensile Strength, Mass Density, Yield Strength, Thermal Conductivity, etc.

7. Can the SOLIDWORKS Drawings be converted to DXF/DWG Formats?

Yes, SOLIDWORKS Drawings can be exported to DXF/DWG formats to open in 2D CAD software such as Draftsight, AutoCAD, etc.

8. I am not a SOLIDWORKS user but I want to view the models for review. Should I install SOLIDWORKS?

No, It is not necessary to install SOLIDWORKS unless you want to make changes to the models.
For anyone who needs to view and interrogate 3D design data. Whether you are involved in the commercial manufacture, purchasing, a maker, or a student, eDrawings helps you to communicate, share and collaborate with 3D data with an easily shareable lightweight file in its own viewer.

9. I am involved with sheet metal designs, does SOLIDWORKS have tools for sheet metal?

SOLIDWORKS is an easy-to-use intuitive user interface software. Along with part, assembly, and 2D drawing functionality, specialized tools are included sheet metal, weldments, surfacing, molds, product configuration, etc.

10. I am from R&D and will be involved with the analysis of the products. Does SOLIDWORKS have any analysis software?

Yes, SOLIDWORKS has a portfolio of Simulation solutions that are integrated directly inside the SOLIDWORKS 3D Modeling environment. SOLIDWORKS Simulation is an easy-to-use portfolio of structural analysis tools that use Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to predict a product’s real-world physical behavior by virtually testing CAD models. The portfolio provides linear, non-linear static, and dynamic analysis capabilities which can be purchased as per requirements and integrated with SOLIDWORKS.
