SolidWorks Premium

Il miglior software per la progettazione meccanica

Aspetti positivi:

Solidworks è secondo me il miglior software per il disegno 3D di particolari meccanici e non solo grazie all'intuitività dei comandi di base. Ciò garantisce la possibilità di modellare una grandissima varietà di componenti in modo semplice e veloce.Un pro della versione premium è la possibilità di accedere ad una vasta libreria di componenti standardizzati senza doverli modellare autonomamente o scaricare da librerie online.

Aspetti negativi:

Inevitabilmente per alcune funzionalità meno intuitive è necessaria una fase di apprendimento delle stesse non indifferente.Per poter usufruire al meglio del software è necessario un opportuno sistema hardware che può essere inaccessibile ai più.

Solidworks esperienza da neofita

Aspetti positivi:

SolidWorks e un programma di modellazione 3d estremamente utile e con tante funzionalità, tra queste ci sono pure i tutorial che per gente che e alle prime armi diventano utilissimi essendo molto chiari e facendoti già comprendere come bisogna sviluppare un progetto, altra cosa utilissima e il sistema parametrico che si sposa perfettamente co n i vincoli e creano una semplicità di modellazione molto vantaggiosa

Aspetti negativi:

Forse uno degli inconvenienti di solidworks e che non e facile viaggiarci bene al interno ovvero ci sono molte funzionalità che non sono visibili e vanno per forza cercate il che rende alcune volte difficile pure imparare il programma

Software fondamentale per Ingegneri Meccanico

Commenti: Il software è fondamentale per alcuni esami di Ingegneria sostenuti all’università ma è anche di facile utilizzo

Aspetti positivi:

Facilità di installazione e di utilizzo dopo poche lezioni chiavi o tutorial visualizzati sul Web, permette di progettare in 3D ed importare da altri programmi di disegno cad

Aspetti negativi:

Un po pesante e rallenta un po il PC, consiglio un Pc nuovo con RAM alta

eccezionali analisi FEM

Commenti: eccellente, fondamentale per la mia tesi di laurea

Aspetti positivi:

Programma di una complessità enorme e di una vastità di funzioni grandissima; questo però lo rende completissimo nella progettazione meccanica

Aspetti negativi:

programma veramente pesante per il computer che rende certe operazioni veramente pesanti dal punto di vista computazionale

Utilizzato per la modellazione 3D di progettazione meccanica

Commenti: Utilissima e molto comodo.Utilizzato per l'assieme e per i singoli componenti.Ottima l'analisi agli elementi finiti.

Aspetti positivi:

I colori dell'interfaccia sono studiati e ben fatti.La prototipazione e l'assieme dei componenti è utile per la progettazione.

Aspetti negativi:

Molto molto pesante come tool. Avvio lento ma non troppo.

Costoso ma insuperabile

Commenti: Ottima

Aspetti positivi:

Software molto costoso , ha molte restrizioni ma nella produzione di parti in 3d e nella progettazione è insuperabile.

Aspetti negativi:

Cattiva gestione del cliente. In particolare nella gestione del cliente, risate dopo svariate email.

SOLIDWORKS in poche parole

Commenti: Ottima

Aspetti positivi:

Solidworks Premium offre strumenti avanzati di progettazione e simulazione, consentendo agli ingegneri di sviluppare prodotti in modo più rapido ed efficiente. Inoltre, l'integrazione con altre applicazioni come CAM e PDM semplifica il processo di produzione e gestione dei dati.

Aspetti negativi:

Il costo del software è troppo alto. Fa dificile acquistarlo.

Il più completo in commercio

Aspetti positivi:

Con un unico software si riesce a coprire tutti gli aspetti del processo di sviluppo di un prodotto. È possibile eseguire sul modello creato una analisi del movimento e risolvere problemi di reverse engineering.La presenza di una sezione di Learning online con lezioni mirate per imparare ad usare il software sono un valore aggiunto di grande importanza.

Aspetti negativi:

La sua complessità di utilizzo non lo rende adatto ad essere impiegato da personale alle prime esperienze con il mondo cad. Esistono software alternativi con la quale è possibile prendere dimestichezza e che hanno una GUI più semplice e meno ricca. La GUI di Solidworks spesso risulta poco intuitiva e si rischia di navigare alla cieca fra i vari menù prima di trovare lo strumento a noi più congeniale.

Un buon software cad, ma non il migliore che abbia provato

Commenti: Sicuramente è nella top ten dei prodotti di progettazione CAD, ma non sono molto soddisfatto rispetto alle aspettative che avevo sul prodotto stesso

Aspetti positivi:

L'interfaccia del prodotto di base è carina e la modellazione 2d è semplice e veloce. Il software riesce a gestire tranquillamente anche assiemi di grandi dimensioni

Aspetti negativi:

A mio parere è difficile da utilizzare anche per modellazioni non complesse. Inoltre il tempo di apertura del prodotto non è alla pari della concorrenza

CAD Parametrico Solid Works

Commenti: Sono un utilizzatore del SW per l'interfacciamento con i SW di calcolo ad Elementi Finiti, come Ansys, Patran etc

Aspetti positivi:

Interfaccia grafica molto intuitiva ed allineata a quella di CAD parametrici più conosciuti, come Catia e Pro E. Semplice gestione di geometrie complesse, ampia e flessibile inclusione di TAG per il MRP Aziendale

Aspetti negativi:

Per l'utilizzo effettuato in Azienda il SW non ha punti di debolezza.

professionale e intuitivo

Commenti: Uso solidworks da diverso tempo, è un programma versatile, intiutivo e completo per la progettazione 3D.

Aspetti positivi:

il programma ha un ambiente di lavoro molto comodo, tutto (o quasi) personalizzabile nella finestra principale.

Aspetti negativi:

l'unico dettaglio neagtivo riscontrato personalmente sul software è che ogni tanto perde le relazioni tra i file.

Solidworks-Best Design tool for Mechanical Engineer

Commenti: I use Solidworks for a lot of purposes, such as designing 3D models for objects, creating 2D drawing, and even doing surface design work with sheets of metal.

Aspetti positivi:

Solidworks is one of the top design tools for mechanical engineers, providing them with functionality and features that allow them to create and redesign their designs easily and efficiently. As a Mechanical Engineer, I am using this software since 2016 and it is saving me a lot of time. It provides me with all the necessary tools to quickly create 3D parts and products that are ready for production. There are many advantages to designing in Solidworks, one is that it is easier to design 3D models than Autocad. Within a short time, I can build detailed dimensions directly into SolidWorks. With the new dimensioning toolbar in SolidWorks 2020, I can now quickly and easily create accuracy and precision in my designs. There are a variety of different ways to see Solidworks, giving you the flexibility you need. Some views may work better for certain tasks while others provide a more detailed look at your project in general. Being able to navigate through designs has also been made incredibly easy by the design tree on Solidworks. It even provides a way to deal with any problems that may arise from changes or edits.

Aspetti negativi:

Solidworks should have an advanced rendering system to make it easier to render 3D models. Often, solidworks software is unable to handle large assemblies while on a low configuration.

Phenomenal CAD tool for futuristic renderings

Commenti: We're creating Robots and industrial solutions for our clients. Some models require kinematic links and joints in order to show the motion in a robot. Therefore, with the help of software, we're almost doing 60% of our company's work on the software and it;s generating 70% of revenue using this.

Aspetti positivi:

Solidworks is the most versatile CAD tool, that doesn't require much training in order to learn and create the components. I have been a regular user since my internship days. Was in the R&D department, creating components varying in size from minute to big. and with Solidworks, the life of designers is very easy; thanks to its numerous features that help creating animations in a real-time frame.

Aspetti negativi:

I haven't found any major fault which I don't like except one thing. In order to design really amazing and realistic components, you require a versatile system with a dedicated RAM and Graphics Card. As such companies are releasing their software every single year; so it become difficult for manufacturing companies to cope up with their software eligibility criteria. Rest everything is the best I have found so far in the software

Solidworks Premium: Powerful Software with High Demands.

Aspetti positivi:

Solidworks Premium is extremely intuitive and easy to use. It has a well thought out and premium looking UI, and complex parts can be modeled and drawn to a very high standard.

Aspetti negativi:

Solidworks Premium does require a moderate to high end system to run efficiently and with good user experience. The average laptop with 8-16GB RAM does underperform, and the experience is noticeably degraded when even a browser tab or text document was open, a task I feel it should not struggle with. For an assembly with only 350 components, I would expect less than 8GB of system RAM usage.

Industry Standard 3D Modelling That Does Most Things Well

Commenti: Have used this software for approx. 20yrs and remain happy with it. I've tried some alternatives that each had some pros and cons relative to SW, but I still remain with SW as it is the best. If they would deal with the licensing issue I mentioned above I would be very happy with SW.

Aspetti positivi:

It remains the industry standard so is a must-have for any design agency. It does all of the basics very well and from a functional standpoint it isn't missing much.

Aspetti negativi:

Surface modelling functions are very limited, but BY FAR the biggest problem is the licensing model. They FORCE you to upgrade annually by bricking the software such that you cannot open any files created by a newer version of SW.

Solidworks review

Aspetti positivi:

It is an intuitive modeling software that is easy to use and there is lots of documentation online to support use.

Aspetti negativi:

The changes between model years can be frustrating. Sometimes locations of common functions move and it can be annoying to have to relearn the software.

User Experience

Commenti: Loved working on solidworks as it declaration stands "Spend less time in learning and more time in developing a product"

Aspetti positivi:

When you have limited knowledge in 3D CAD and really want to design some products but not willing to share the concept over words but a 3D design ready. Then you really need Solidworks modules and specially Premiuem module which is the top end of CAD portfolio. With basic idea of 3D designing i could start exploring solidworks and build any concept and also do some basic simulation without any or limited knowledge in simulation concepts as the product comes with simulation features and requires minimal data to start a simulation

Aspetti negativi:

With all my time using solidworks i could never find any difficulty or fault other tan if any feature is missing or is in limited condition this when escalated would be looked in detail by design and development team and pulled in next possible updated to resolve and serve the need.

My experience with SolidWorks

Commenti: Although I have not worked much with this software, compared to others, I can say that most mechanical element design softwares are very similar and if you have already used other software of this type, it will be very easy to use SolidWorks.
With very little training I have managed to make simple machine assemblies without any problem, just like the simulations

Aspetti positivi:

It is one of the most used software in the industry for the design of mechanical parts, so it has been improving over the years, it is very easy to use from the beginning, it is very intuitive, so you can start drawing with little training. There is a very large community in case you have any questions. Designs can be validated by using finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics, so no other software is required.

Aspetti negativi:

Like most of these software, SolidWorks is somewhat expensive, so the investment is justified when handling large projects, for the design of individual parts or small machines, you can opt for cheaper options or free software. The computer necessary to use SolidWorks must have very specific characteristics in terms of CPU, GPU and RAM memory, so the initial investment is somewhat expensive.

Solidworks is industry standard a easy to learn, but expensive

Commenti: SolidWorks was the first CAD software i ever used, in the start if you use others you are going to think that all the other are too hard to use, but as you become a experienced designer things start to become way better in other softwares.

Aspetti positivi:

SolidWorks in most engineering schools is going to be the one that is teached first, it is pretty easy to use and learn, has its most important tools in the first page wich makes it the best for startes. The Render tools are by far the most sofisticated in the market for a long time, so if want to impress a client thats a must.

Aspetti negativi:

It's easy to use and learn in the start, but as the modeling goes more complex, and you need to simulate a mechanism or even a make a stress–strain analysis it becomes harder, some of the tools are hidden in the software and you need someone that passed through to find the habilit a lot of its tools that you going to need, like weldment tab for an exemple.

It covers everything for most every user

Commenti: It allows me to model almost anything I need to. I recently learned how to use the sheet metal section of Solidworks and it has allowed me to model projects more thoroughly. It has a few limitations that most users wont ever come close to touching like surface modelling with sheets.

Aspetti positivi:

This software is very simple and intuitive to use. There is very little hunting around for features.

Aspetti negativi:

There are small elements here and there that I wish were customizable that arent like bilateral tolerance notation and "All Around" symbols

Industry standard

Commenti: Overall I have a positive experience with solidworks

Aspetti positivi:

Very capable software. The industry standard, so it makes it easy to collaborate with others.

Aspetti negativi:

Very closed ecosystem, so it makes getting support difficult. Also the lack of compatibility with older versions can make it difficult to collaborate to institutions that canot afford the latest model year.

Lower cost, powerful and friendly CAD simulation program

Commenti: As a hydraulic engineer, SolidWorks is an essential component in my CAD software kit specifically for the mechanical design of valves, pipes, and structures as well as for the simulation and verification of structural faults

Aspetti positivi:

The price of the program is really one of its main attractions, considering that meets the expectations and needs of mechanical design. It has powerful 3D design capabilities and a very friendly interface. Solidworks is a more thought-out and useful program for mechanical engineers and designers and is not as appropriate for the architectural design. It can be used to create 2D and 3D designs, has enough tools to incorporate elements such as shading, textures, lighting, and transparencies that facilitate the reading of the design. Another advantage is its library of materials and the possibility of creating customized materials that can be stored in this library. You can also add and edit any text, and like other CAD programs, the design work is done in layers that you can easily select and change. Also has the option of extrusion that easily allows you to create a 3D model from a 2D plane or the reverse process. The design facility includes a customizable palette where you can locate the tools that are most used and also, also we have the function of recording macros. SolidWorks offers the possibility of working with DWG, DXF, STEP, STL formats, as well as printing their designs in 3D. Additionally, one of its main advantages is that we can work with raster and PDF files. As for the simulation process, the significant advantage of SolidWorks is its SolidWorks Security Factor Wizard, with which you can examine the created design and locate structural weaknesses.

Aspetti negativi:

Although the renderig, illumination and the photorealistic representation are not powerful as those obtained with other CAD programs, they are still powerful and allow to visualize the designs with an acceptable quality. SolidWorks tools are powerful for small projects, such as specific parts and components, but they are not efficient for the design of more complex projects such as large motor examples.

One of the best 3d modelling software with simple but powerful tools .

Commenti: Overall my experience with solidwork is very awesome, I use solidwork daily form last 6 years .

Aspetti positivi:

Multi body feature in a part modelling is very helpful for me , top to bottom assembly is so easy , it's sketching tools are are very reliable. Motion study analysis, 360 photo-realistic image is amazing and so on ... End apart then all these features it's user interface is really good. Simple n so powerful software I'm using it from last 6 years.

Aspetti negativi:

Apart from all powerful tools the only issue is crashing some time some commands are taking lot of time end something software got crash which is not good. Large file are also taking lot of time open . Solidwork drawing is quite boring end not so effective it got crash when you use for long time without saving.

SolidWorks, a real solid option

Commenti: Overall, SolidWorks Premium is a must for mechanical engineers in the lookout for a tool that can simplify their work. Solid allows for various types of studies so engineers can optimize, geometries or materials that can result in efficient and quality results appreciated by companies, Solid smooths and betters the life of any mechanical engineer.

Aspetti positivi:

Easy 3D modeling. Great tool for mechanical studies. Solid allows for a wide range of studies that can be done over your 3D model, from static, frequency, CFD, motion study for mechanisms etc. SolidWorks is an essential tool for any mechanical engineer who is in a design area, you can run studies to know what to expect on your products, of course SolidWork studies must be backed up with knowledge from the engineer and real-life experiments in prototypes for the best results. Technical drawings are also included, which are crucial when bringing to life any digital concept.

Aspetti negativi:

Manufacturing processes are a crucial part in the life of any design. SolidWorks will not provide this, so another option could be Autodesk Fusion 360 which in general is more user friendly but does not have the capacity that SolidWorks offers, Solid is a more complete software.

One of the most user-friendly 3D design programs available.

Commenti: Because of the many plugins and capabilities that Solidworks offers to its users, we were able to speed up the exporting of designs for use by our work teams, especially for simple designs.

Aspetti positivi:

The ease with which a design may be built and the precision with which 3D models can be created are two of my favorite features of Solidworks. As a designer, I use Solidworks because of its many basic 3D tools and flattening choices for producing free-form pieces, which allow me to show my clients accurate renderings of the designs I've created for their space. Solidworks is a user-friendly program that lets you create drawings and apply different textures to surfaces, making it easier to bring your ideas to life in 3D. It also includes an outstanding online component library full of downloadable pieces that you can use to create your designs. With this option, it is easy to find faults in the design plan and solve them, which leads to the design being completed on schedule and to the satisfaction of everyone involved.

Aspetti negativi:

Large-scale model creation in Solidworks is incredibly flexible, but assembly of many components is slow and requires a high-speed computer to be able to execute orders faster.
