For example, in SolidWorks 2013 Service Pack 5 you will be able to open SolidWorks 2014 files. Users can measure, select and markup designs from anywhere using a mobile device.You can open SolidWorks 2013 parts and assemblies using SolidWorks 2012 Service Pack 5.Р”Р‡rom SolidWorks 2012 on, you can open a future version file in Service Pack 5 of the previous release. Route documents and contact users more efficiently to reduce delays and accelerate time-to-market.Р”ВraftSight/SolidWorks Enterprise PDM IntegrationР”Р„ccess DWG files within SolidWorks EPM from the DraftSight user interface, and leverage 2D into the design process.

SolidWorks Enterprise Product Data Management Workflow Users can work more efficiently and improve collaboration and file exchange, reducing delays and easing the transition to the latest release.

To address the dispersed nature of most design teams, SolidWorks 2013 optimizes collaboration with improved connectivity, enhanced viewing capabilities, and expanded sharing of designs and data.Р”В¬ollaborate with customers, suppliers, and internal teams with the ability to open SolidWorks 2013 files directly with SolidWorks 2012 (SP5). Save time with faster rendering of photorealistic images by networking multiple computers to share the computational load. More accurately perform precise simulation analysis for specific areas of large and complex models faster and more efficiently. Simulation Sub-Modeling and Incremental Meshing

Simplify management and troubleshooting of multiple SolidWorks users within a company from a single aggregated view. The following new tools allow users to optimize the performance of a SolidWorks installation and maximize design team productivity. Speed the creation of production drawings for faster and more consistent section views. Quickly add or remove geometry without sketching.Р”Р„llows users to save time creating patterns, increase design flexibility, and reduce the number of features needed for models. Faster Model CreationР”Р„dditional new offerings help users create and modify complex geometries faster and easier, providing more efficient 3D models and 2D drawings.Р”Р‡ull control over shapes for smooth transitions between existing geometries. SolidWorks Flow Simulation takes the complexity out of flow designs by allowing users to visualize fluid flow around multifaceted geometries and more easily compare analysis results between multiple design configurations. SolidWorks Sustainability quickly compares the financial impact of raw materials and the environmental impact of a design decision during the development process due to new raw material impact tools. SolidWorks Costing allows customers to automatically cost more types of parts, create more accurate quotations, and stay in budget with improved cost data and new APIs. In addition to the following enhancements, the recently announced SolidWorks Plastics and SolidWorks Electrical packages help users make more informed decisions that result in simplified designs, reduced mistakes, and faster time to market. SolidWorks 2013 makes it easier to bring engineers' ideas from concept to manufacturing with new tools for more efficient simulation, and expanded environmental and cost analysis. We look forward to watching our customers make their ideas a reality at a more rapid pace.' Powerful Design Tools 'SolidWorks 2013 empowers innovative design with application specific tools that help users quickly define, share and validate the form, fit, and function of their designs. The new additions to core geometry and expanded product offerings demonstrate our continuing investment in our flagship product,' commented Bertrand Sicot, CEO, SolidWorks, Dassault SystР“РЃmes. 'With SolidWorks 2013 we've upheld our tradition of listening to our customers by providing enhancements and functionality to help them simplify their lives and create the best products.

Powered by Dassault SystР“РЃmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform, SolidWorks 2013 combines ease of use with broad customization allowing new users to learn fast, and experienced users to quickly become more productive at previously complex and sophisticated tasks.
