The below image provides an impressive look at the moving pieces working in concert. Lou Feinstein, product manager of high technology, Internet of Things, and mechatronics products, demonstrated how this ecosystem concept works during his presentation on the mechatronic/connected ecosystem from the design and validation phases to data management and documentation and finally downstream collaboration and manufacturing.ĭigging further down, Feinstein provided an overview of the optimal high-tech engineering ecosystem for ideal product design. In a connected world, design is connected to everything. However, this ecosystem also extends to downstream departments and to outside manufacturing.

This determines that changes in EPDM will update in CAD or optimization in Simulation will be reflected in the CAD model. SOLIDWORKS 2016 is also inspired by creating a connected design ecosystem.
Think of it as lowering the percentage of time you have to work over the weekend. Where did this time come from? Anliker credits it to “a relentless focus on user experience.” He also found that users are already saving 20 percent more time with the new UI, which on the whole amounts to one day out of a five-day work week. Just when you thought there was no time to spare, SOLIDWORKS 2016 found another minute and a half. As Director of Product Introduction Kurt Anliker pointed out, “we obsess about mouse clicks.” During his presentation, Boyalakuntla presented an interesting graphic comparing mouse gestures and clicks by a design expert in SOLIDWORKS 2015 vs. Since SOLIDWORKS isn’t just about a pretty face, the top gem found in the new UI is the ability to do more with fewer mouse clicks.
#Draftsight 2016 features overview upgrade
It’s notable to discuss that the UI was created to better integrate with Windows 10 features, however Boyalakuntla also pointed out that viewing the old UI in 4K was not as sharp as he would like to see – making an upgrade visually necessary. The new user interface (UI) is the most noticeable example. There’s little as exciting as seeing your hard work transformed into a cool piece of marketing collateral (trust me, I know).Ī big theme of SOLIDWORKS 2016 is letting you focus on design as opposed to CAD software. This democratization enables designers, creatives, engineers and content creators to have an enhanced 3D decision-making experience in a fast, easy, fun way. Just as SOLIDWORKS democratized CAD software, SOLIDWORKS Visualize is striving to democratize visualization. Its ease of use means marketing and other downstream departments can handle rendering on their own – allowing you to more time to focus on design. SOLIDWORKS Visualize, formerly Bunkspeed, renders amazing, photorealistic images from your CAD designs. Senior Director of Product Management, Kishore Boyalakuntla, later discussed an important new visualization application that will be offered in SOLIDWORKS 2016. Building on its tradition of bringing CAD to every engineer, SOLIDWORKS now plans to bring CAD to every engineer…everywhere.
Bassi navigated to MySolidWorks, registered for a product trial, and began to work in SOLIDWORKS CAD via his online account. To demonstrate this connectivity, Bassi turned to a Chromebook and connected to a new platform: SOLIDWORKS Online. These two converging factors are working in tandem, enabling SOLIDWORKS to take its next leap: becoming a connected platform that empowers how products are designed. Touching on the company’s history of bringing CAD to every engineer, Bassi discussed the influence felt by increased computing power and the ubiquitous nature of connected devices.

Remember: to learn more and to get an in-depth look at #SW16, you should absolutely attend a launch event in your area. We’ll take some time in this post to cover a few you need to know.
With more than 200 enhancements and new features, SOLIDWORKS 2016 offers many upgrades. The annual release is the culmination of months of user feedback, development and research into emerging technologies poised to influence the future of design and engineering. Today users, executives and engineers gathered to watch as SOLIDWORKS 2016 was unveiled during a live event at the Edward Kennedy Institute in Boston.
