SOLIDWORKS 2021 The popular mechanical program SOLIDWORKS is now in version 2021. Among the highlights are the ability to save defeatured or simplified components as a configuration, so you can toggle between the defeatured version and the original detailed version. It also comes with better handling of small gaps in mesh models in simulation, and fillet along nonplanar surfaces in…

…On workstation buying trends, Herman predicted, “Some workloads, like ANSYS and SOLIDWORKS, require the latest technology. So regardless of what’s happening to the economy, or where people are working, these users are going to need the latest technology. For others working on pedestrian work [simple 2D or 3D], maybe they’ll decide to stick with the current technology [existing hardware].”
