2015 VS. 2013 DIFFERENCES DOCUMENTS

1 IMPROVE AND INTEGRATE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT WITH NEW CAPABILITIES • SOLIDWORKS® Model Based Definition (MBD): drawingless product detailing

with 3D annotations; output to eDrawings® or 3D PDF• SOLIDWORKS Inspection: automated inspection drawing and report creation• SOLIDWORKS Treehouse: visual assembly structure planning, creation,

editing, and viewing • Costing: weldments, plastic/cast parts, machined castings, and 3D printed parts

Benefits Significantly speed-up and improve product design and manufacturing processes.

2 SOLIDWORKS PERFORMANCE • Reduced file size by about 50% • Faster component patterning and hide/show of assemblies• SOLIDWORKS Simulation supports Intel® Solver and multi-core

contact detection • Define specific graphic regions to render in PhotoView 360• Manage large data sets more efficiently in SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM

Benefits Faster modeling, analysis, and rendering capabilities leaves more time to improve designs.

3 ADVANCED PART MODELING ENHANCEMENTS• Splines: Style Splines for better spline control; fixed length dimension

for 2D splines• Sketch: replace sketch entity; sketch plane normal to view; set Sketch

and Sketch Picture scale • Features: Asymmetric and Conic fillets; improved patterns• Flatten surfaces: advanced techniques to flatten surfaces

Benefits Less time needed to create part geometry including a specific focus on advanced geometry.

4 NEW SHEET METAL FEATURES • Gussets: Sheet Metal Gusset feature for creation of stiffening ribs• Corners: improved control over sheet metal corner treatments• Sheet metal Lofted Bend: outputs better information needed

for press brake manufacturing

Benefits Reduced effort for modeling sheet metal as well as improved data output for downstream manufacturing.

5 ASSEMBLIES• Slot features for Hole Wizard; Slot Mate for assembly into slots• Center components on faces; select geometry to limit Width Mate;

in-context Mate toolbar• Simulate roller/energy chains using patterns along open or closed loops • Route rectangular sections, e.g., HVAC ducts, cable trays, and chutes

Benefits Quicker and more intuitive creation of assemblies, routes and exploded views.

6 DRAWING IMPROVEMENTS • Track view locations with automated drawing sheet zone annotations • Omit layers from printing; use splines as leaders • Angle dimensioning and decimal rounding improvements• Set automatic limits for rows in tables

Benefits More automated drawing detailing as well as the ability to find drawing views faster.

7 DESIGN SIMULATION • SOLIDWORKS Simulation: predict product durability under dynamic

loading; Load Case Manager for loads combination• SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation: rotating mesh regions deliver enhanced

simulation of rotating machinery; import of thermal properties and PCB definition from electrical components

• SOLIDWORKS Plastics: Venting Analysis; export of In-mold residual stress and temperature data to SOLIDWORKS Simulation for structural analysis

Benefits Streamline simulation and eliminate duplication of effort to enable concurrent engineering.

8 ELECTRICAL DESIGN • Dynamic Connector tools simplify design and use of connectors • In-line 3D routing diagnostics identifies and resolves routing issues • One click check-in/check-out of electrical project files to SOLIDWORKS

Enterprise PDM• Optimized routing for enhanced wire/cable/harness development

Benefits Optimize, share, and track electrical designs more easily for improved project collaboration.

9 USER EXPERIENCE • Dynamic Reference Visualization: graphical view of relationships

between features • Selection Sets: select multiple entities and save them for reuse • Isolate: isolate components while editing in context within an assembly • FeatureManager®: temporarily preview hidden bodies or components

Benefits Work more efficiently and better understand and visualize the design intent of your models.

10 EXPANDED COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION • MySolidWorks: online learning and certification; share/view designs

online; global manufacturing network • Collaborative Sharing: community-based connectivity to SOLIDWORKS,

eDrawings, and DraftSight®

• SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM Web2 client: connect browser-ready devices to a vault

Benefits Expand the reach of your design tools with faster, easier data connections and better social collaboration - anytime, anywhere.
