SOLIDWORKS 2025 Preview Available

The SOLIDWORKS 2025 Preview Program from Dassault Systemes is now live and ready for interested users to join.

Join the Preview Program and be among the first to experience SOLIDWORKS 2025. Starting today, users can get hands-on with the latest user-driven enhancements purpose-built to help streamline and accelerate the product development processes from concept to manufacturing. Enhancements apply to 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, SOLIDWORKS with Cloud Services, and SOLIDWORKS with Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS.

What’s New  

•        Collaboration and Data Management: Deliver products faster with improved collaboration and data management capabilities such as easily connecting and collaborating directly with industry peers within SOLIDWORKS.
•        Parts: Integrate radius parameters with the new Continuous edge blend option for variable radius fillets. Improve the manufacturability of your designs with the Sheet Metal Bend Notch. Streamline skeleton model creation and create more flexible designs by patterning Reference Geometry (planes, axes, etc.)
•        Assemblies: Accelerate design by copying assembly components along with their advanced and mechanical mates. Check the manufacturability of your design faster with interference detection in Large Design Review mode.
•       Drawings: Speed up drawing creation and ensure accuracy by providing detailed cut lists in the bill of materials. 
•        More Design and Modeling Updates: Check out 3D dimensioning and tolerancing improvements, accelerate the creation of manufacturing documentation for electrical and pipe routing, leverage advancements in GPU technology with real-time interactive ray tracing, streamline workflows with enhanced import/export, user experience, performance, and more.

Data Efficiency in SOLIDWORKS PDM

       Understand the assembly structure better with a bill of materials that follows the SOLIDWORKS assembly order. Check out the latest revision or a specific revision of files when you use the Get operation. Quickly access SOLIDWORKS PDM functions from the new PDM tab in the Command Manager toolbar.

Accuracy in SOLIDWORKS Simulation

       Simplify assembly analysiswith the new orthotropic spring connectors and enhanced pin connectors. Solve complex assembly problems by identifying free body components with the enhanced Under Constraint feature.

Stay up to date with the ongoing enhancements to all SOLIDWORKS roles on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, including 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, the browser-based design roles, and more.
