WHAT’S NEW IN SOLIDWORKS 2013 SOLUTIONS
NEW PRODUCT! SOLIDWORKS PLASTICS
SolidWorks Plastics helps you easily identify and address potential
defects in your plastic part or injection mold tool designs early in
the design process. It covers thousands of commercial plastics and
includes analysis for weld lines, sink marks, multi-cavity layouts, and
runner balancing.
PREVIOUS RELEASE INTEROPERABILITY
Collaborate with customers, suppliers, and internal teams when
using a mix of SolidWorks 2013 and SolidWorks 2012 (SP5). Files
can be opened directly and associativity is maintained, with no
export/import required.
CONICS IN SKETCHER
New sketch functionality enables you to create conic curves driven by
endpoints and rho value, permitting elliptical, parabolic, or hyperbolic
curves without the need to use splines or equations.
INTERSECT FEATURE
New modeling tool enables you to add and remove geometry in one
operation. You can intersect solids, surfaces, and planes, as well as
merge solids and cap surfaces, to define closed volumes and create
multiple geometries simultaneously.
NEW PRODUCT! SOLIDWORKS® ELECTRICAL
SolidWorks Electrical enables quick design of your electrical and
control systems. Single- and multi-line schematics creation, and
integration with your 3D model with real-time bi-directional linking
between 2D schematics and 3D models, automatic wire routing, and
integrated BOMs.
u BENEFITS
Simulate injection processes
during the design phase to isolate
potential issues before moving
to manufacture and risking costly
defects and rework.
u BENEFITS
Work more efficiently and
improve collaboration and file
exchange between different teams,
reducing delays.
u BENEFITS
Easily create true conic geometry
to get exactly the profile you need
or create smooth transitions with
better control between existing
geometries to improve designs.
u BENEFITS
Quickly and easily create or
modify complex designs from
intersecting geometry.
u BENEFITS
Simplify and streamline
your electrical system design
by integrating your mechanical
and electrical systems earlier in
the process.
SolidWorks 2013 includes over 200 new features and enhancements
covering the entire range of SolidWorks solutions for 3D design,
simulation, technical communication, product data management, and
sustainable design to maximize your productivity.
CAD ADMINISTRATOR DASHBOARD
Online dashboard tracks performance, hardware status, and
through the SolidWorks Customer Portal.
VARYING DIMENSION PATTERN FEATURE
vary feature dimensions and instance locations incrementally for the
SOLIDWORKS COSTING ENHANCEMENTS
New Costing enhancements expand and improve manufacturing
process coverage and recognition, with support for turning,
mill-turn, and multi-body parts, as well as new APIs to access data for
downstream manufacturing.
Easily create sub-model studies of your designs to get more accurate
results for specific areas, while automatically utilizing loads and
boundary conditions applied to the full model.
SECTION VIEW TOOL ENHANCEMENTS
The enhanced Section View tool makes creating section views in
drawings faster, with simple drag-and-drop placement. You can click,
drag, and jog to modify section profiles on the fly.
BENEFITS
Quickly and easily monitor your
SolidWorks workstation status
and performance, and keep your
design team running smoothly and
at peak efficiency.
BENEFITS
increase design flexibility, and
reduce the number of features
needed for your model.
BENEFITS
Automatically cost more types
of parts, create more accurate
cost estimates, and pass data to
manufacturing more easily.
BENEFITS
Accurately perform precise
simulation analysis for specific areas
of large and complex models faster
and more efficiently.
BENEFITS
Simplifies and automates the
creation of section views by
eliminating the need to manually
create a section sketch enabling
faster drawing creation.
