由 Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE 平台提供支持的 SolidWorks 2013 将易用性与广泛的定制化相结合，这不仅让新用户能够很快学会该软件，还让资深用户能够在以前看来非常复杂和精密的任务中迅速获得更高的生产能力。这款新产品建立在过去 20 个版本的成功基础之上，它包含了 SolidWorks 解决方案的诸多功能：3D 设计、模拟、技术传播、产品数据管理和可持续性设计。

“SolidWorks 让我可以更快地完成工作任务，比市场上其他任何的 CAD 软件包都要快。”Interactive Cad Solutions 的公司所有人 Robert Conley 说道，“要想在我干的这一行里盈利，就必须快速完成工作任务，而 SolidWorks 使我能够做到这一点。我非常期待 SolidWorks 2013 中的‘与前一版本的互操作性’功能，该功能让我能够更好地与客户分享设计并更快地将其变成最终产品。”

“我们通过 SolidWorks 2013 向客户提供了增强性能和功能性，以帮助他们简化其生活并创造出最佳的产品，这出色地体现了我们倾听客户心声的传统。新增的核心几何体和扩大的产品功能表明我们在这款旗舰产品上继续投入了大量的资金。”Dassault Systèmes 的 SolidWorks 首席执行官 Bertrand Sicot 说道，“SolidWorks 2013 让用户能够借助其专门用于特定应用程序的工具完成创新性设计，这些工具可以帮助用户快速地定义、分享和验证其设计的形状、配合效果和功能。我们期待看到我们的客户能够更快地将他们的创意变为现实。”

功能强大的设计工具

SolidWorks 2013 使工程师的创意从概念到付诸制造变得更加容易，同时新增的工具可以提供更有效的模拟以及更大范围的环境和成本分析。除了包含以下增强的性能以外，最近推出的 SolidWorks Plastics 和 SolidWorks Electrical 软件包还可以帮助用户做出更加明智的决策，从而简化设计、减少错误并加快上市时间。

• SolidWorks Costing – 让客户能够使用经改进的成本数据和新 API 自动计算更多类型零件的成本、创建更加精确的报价单并将成本控制在预算以内。

• SolidWorks Sustainability – 归功于新的原材料影响工具，可以在开发流程期间将原材料的财务影响与某一设计决策的环境影响进行快速比较。

• SolidWorks Flow Simulation – 用户可以将多面几何体周围的流体流动情况可视化，并能更加轻松地比较多个设计配置之间的分析结果，这消除了流体设计的复杂性。

更快的模型创建

新增功能可以帮助用户更快和更容易地创建和修改复杂的几何体，同时提供了更加高效的 3D 模型和 2D 工程图。

• 草图程序中的圆锥 – 拥有对形状的完全控制能力，可以实现现有几何体之间的平滑过渡。

• 相交功能 – 无需绘制草图即可快速添加或移除几何体。

• 多样化尺寸阵列 – 使用户能够节省创建阵列的时间，增加设计灵活性，并减少模型所需的特征数量。

• 剖面视图助手 – 加快生产工程图的创建，以便提供更快和更加一致的剖面视图。

改进的性能

以下新增的工具将使用户能够优化 SolidWorks 的性能并最大化设计团队的工作效率。

• CAD 管理员仪表板 – 通过一个单独的聚合视图简化对公司内多个 SolidWorks 用户的管理和故障排除。

• 模拟子模型和增量网格创建 – 可以更加准确地对大型复杂模型的特定区域执行更加快速和更加有效的精确模拟分析。

• 为 PhotoView 360 提供网络渲染功能 – 通过将多台计算机组网以分担计算负荷，更快地渲染照片级图像，从而节省时间。

增强的协作

为了应对大多数设计团队存在的分散性特质，SolidWorks 2013 通过改进的连接性、增强的查看功能以及更大范围的设计和数据分享使协作达到最佳化。

• 与前一版本的互操作性 – 与客户、供应商和内部团队进行协作时可以直接使用 SolidWorks 2012 (SP5) 打开 SolidWorks 2013 文件。用户能够以更高的效率工作，并能改进协作和文件交换，同时可以减少延迟且容易过渡到最新的版本。

• SolidWorks Enterprise 产品数据管理工作流程 – 以更高的效率按照固定的路线发送文档和联系用户，以减少延迟并加快上市时间。

• DraftSight/SolidWorks Enterprise PDM 集成 – 可以在 SolidWorks EPM 内从 DraftSight 用户界面访问 DWG 文件，并将 2D 利用到设计流程中。

• eDrawings — 用户可以使用移动设备从任何位置对设计进行测量、选择和审定。

The SolidWorks Electrical Professional package combines the electrical schematic design capabilities of SolidWorks Electrical with the 3D capabilities of SolidWorks Electrical 3D in one convenient package.

SolidWorks Electrical will enable users to integrate electrical design into the 3D mechanical model to create efficiently a better design.

Saint Romain de Colbosc, France – Aug. 1st, 2012 — By this agreement signed with Trace Software International, DS SolidWorks, a world leader in 3D solutions adds a new specialty to its portfolio of products. Elecworks, electrical CAD software developed by Trace Software International and SolidWorks Gold Certified product since 2010, will be sold as SolidWorks Electrical.

SolidWorks Electrical design software has been specifically designed for customers who need to create complete electrical systems and automation projects from 2D schematics up to 3D design and to integrate electrical data within their mechanical process. This seamless integration of mechanical and electrical workflow improves team coordination for a better design and dramatically increases productivity with reduced design and production times.

Both electrical and mechanical designs can proceed simultaneously with real-time data sharing. The 3D implementation allows early identification of the need for adjustments in a project and the prevention of component collision. Thanks to the 3D automated wiring feature, SolidWorks Electrical simplifies the wiring process: 3D panel or machine wiring is carried out automatically using the shortest possible appropriate route, providing precise wire length calculations. This process can also be applied to harness design for the embedded industry. Electrical component management is achieved through an advanced integration within SolidWorks Enterprise PDM.

Since elecworks launch in 2009, customers have commented about its friendliness, its no-learning curve and its time-saving tools: undo / redo command, smart copy-paste of repetitive drawing parts, smooth project navigation… It also provides electrical engineers with specific dedicated tools: cable synoptic for a project preview, single-line and multi-wire drawing integration, automated generation of PLCs drawings, connection label insertion to locate all connection information for a device in a single glance, automatic generation of harness flatten route view, highly realistic 3D wire view showing separate wires in a duct, etc. It also has another special time-saving feature: a direct access to TracePartsOnline.net* portal to download “smart” electrical components. These components are able to auto-position themselves on DIN rails and are supplied with previously defined connection points used for the automatic component wiring.
