SolidWorks中将发布的亮点功能包括：

1）Revole功能多一些选项。

2）Real view 加强。Photo360进行了整合。

3）内存使用更优化。

4）Planar simulation。

5）尺寸布置的改进。

6）特征锁定。

7）焊接列表功能。

Solidworks提出了SolidWorks PLM路线图。该路线图的核心是基于达索的Enovia V6平台和云计算，实现协同设计。2010年将设计者之间的产品数据共享功能，在未来的两年半时间里，将提供更多的协同设计功能。

SolidWorks强调简化用户操作，提升客户的体验，使软件的应用与实施变得更加简单，未来将更多地实现在线应用。SolidWorks软件的优势是很实用，上手快，效率高，易用，造型结果可靠，能够很好地捕捉设计意图，对于大装配的性能很好等。同时，SolidWorks软件具有比较好的柔性，设计与仿真的集成很好，与PDM也有良好的集成方案。目前，SolidWorks已经有110万用户，在工业界和教育界得到了广泛应用。   Austin介绍，SolidWorks未来基于云计算的应用，可以提高软件应用的可靠性、稳定性、灵活性，人机交互更加方便。例如，一台机器死机，可以换到另一台机器上面。

SolidWorks开始发展基于云计算的实际应用。用户的客户端可以不用安装软件，直接通过云计算的方式进行应用

SolidWorks注重加强软件的可靠性。例如，可以确保即便没有存盘，而在意外宕机之后，还可以恢复所有的工作成果。

SolidWorks将继续推进绿色及可持续性设计。

SolidWorks进一步加强了对三维模型的直接编辑功能。

SolidWorks未来将会更好地利用达索公司的资源，例如SolidWorks软件将与Catia软件实现更深层次的互动，Catia的一些优秀功能，有望移植到SolidWorks软件。

Bernard Charlès先生(达索系统公司的CEO)强调，SolidWorks的定位是：3D For Professional。就是为专业认识提供三维设计软件的公司，包括三维建模、分析、验证、可视化与数据管理，而不仅仅是三维建模。

SolidWorks Plastics 2012 SP4.0 for SolidWorks 2012

SimpoeWorks is the first and only complete plastic injection simulation solution fully embedded into the SolidWorks graphic user environment.

Thanks to SimpoeWorks, a SolidWorks Gold Partner product, SolidWorks users can now optimize the design and the tooling of their plastic parts, and minimize their manufacturing costs, without ever leaving their familiar everyday graphic user environment. SimpoeWorks allow SolidWorks users to simulate the complete manufacturing process of their plastic parts, from filling to warpage.

With SimpoeWorks , SolidWorks users can identify early into the design stage potential manufacturing problems, study alternative solutions and directly assess the impact of such part or process modification, always in the SolidWorks graphic environment. The seamless integration of SimpoeWorks with SolidWorks really "closes the loop" of plastic part design and manufacturing optimization, whatever the complexity and geometry of such parts, shell parts as well as plain solid parts.

The SIMPOE advanced technology is embedded in the SolidWorks Plastics software product line.

SolidWorks Plastics Premium gives anyone who designs or builds injection molds an accurate, easy-to-use way to optimize them. You can quickly create and analyze single-cavity, multi-cavity, and family mold layouts, including sprues, runners, and gates. You can even balance runner systems and estimate cycle time, clamp tonnage, and shot size, enabling you to optimize feed system design and avoid costly mold rework.

About SIMPOE SAS.

Key to the SIMPOE history and development was the encounter in 1998 of Dr CHIOU, a Taiwanese national and worldwide expert in plastic injection simulation, author of numerous papers on the subject, with Alain DUBOIS, a CADCAM veteran who is a French citizen by birth and from Chinese family origin. A long lasting relationship developed during those years during Alain’s numerous trips to Asia. Alain, who, among other achievements, successfully developed the mainstream simulation markets for both SRAC ( developer of Cosmos software) and Nika (developer of EFD Labs) , came to realize there was a need for an easy to use, easy to learn and affordable solution for plastic injection simulation for the mainstream market. So together with CHIOU, they decided to launch Simpoe-Mold on a worldwide basis.

Their extensive market research validated their market projections and, with the support of business angels, they created at the end of 2004 SIMPOE SAS. SIMPOE SAS is a French company having the ownership of Simpoe-Mold technology; its headquarters are located in the suburbs of Paris.

In the meantime, another CADCAM veteran had joined the SIMPOE project, Thierry LEROY, the first international employee of PTC who , during his 13 years tenure with the developer of Pro/ENGINEER®, had been instrumental in the international development of PTC to a billion dollars company.

Today, SIMPOE is an established and fast growing company, with international offices and numerous sales partners in Europe, Asia and the United States
