Building on the solid foundation and success of the last 22 releases of its flagship 3D CAD software, SOLIDWORKS 2015 demonstrates its commitment to providing its customers with software and services that make them more successful and more productive than ever before.

This release includes ground-breaking enhancements and true productivity improvements across the entire range of products, covering 3D design, electrical design, simulation, product data management, collaboration, and manufacturability.

SOLIDWORKS 2015 enables you to speed through your designs with powerful new features SOLIDWORKS 2015 enables you to speed through your designs with powerful new features, substantial performance boosts, and an enhanced user experience. You can quickly document your designs for manufacturing and assembly, share project information across your global team with minimal effort, and integrate your design processes with downstream production operations to help lower costs and accelerate time-to-market.

The KEY Themes on SOLIDWORKS 2015

Improve your everyday productivity: SOLIDWORKS 2015 is packed with engineering and design performance boosts to help your work done faster and easier. The user experience puts your focus on design, not ‘CAD overhead' to get the information you need, in record time. Focus on design, not the modelling software for faster design iterations - new features accelerate your design process. Get the information you need, faster - improved overall performance, faster analysis, and streamlined approaches give you the data to make decisions and keep designing.

Work quickly and easily with the enhanced user experience and simulate multiple design scenarios quickly. With access to extensive online training, the new MySolidWorks Professional subscription level delivers improved product skills and a centralised technical reference resource.

Optimize your work process: Share project information across your global team with minimal effort. Easily manage product structures up front in the design process, and then quickly document designs for manufacturing and assembly. With access to information from everywhere, all stakeholders stay connected to quickly move product development forward. Easily access social collaboration and online data management tools for faster development and decision-making.

Enable top-down design by visually creating assemblies and managing product structures upfront with SOLIDWORKS Treehouse. Access and use your design information from any device; connect to SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM from any location with Web2.

Reduce operations costs: SOLIDWORKS 2015 helps speed up your production, integrate design processes with downstream manufacturing, lower costs, and accelerate time-to-market. It gives:

Enhanced cost analysis for better upfront estimates across many manufacturing methods with SOLIDWORKS Costing.
Integrated inspection simplifies the process of creating documentation and performing inspection for quality assurance with SOLIDWORKS Inspection.
Better communication between design and manufacturing teams enabling them to share Product Manufacturing Information directly in 3D with SOLIDWORKS MBD.
Faster development of electrical schematics and incorporate them into the 3D model with SOLIDWORKS Electrical

Solve more design challenges: SOLIDWORKS 2015 delivers new technical capabilities that support a wide array of industries and help you overcome industry-specific engineering and design challenges.

Create layouts and manage digital models for BIM.
Accurately simulate construction machinery & tools.
Improve manufacturability of products.
Enhance product aesthetics and usability.
