This innovative tool not only boasts superior productivity and functionality but also maintains seamless integration with other AVEVA Engineering and Design systems, including AVEVA Unified Engineering. Accessible through the secure AVEVA™ Connect cloud platform, it allows for rapid deployment within days or weeks rather than months, enabling users to compile data and develop their engineering digital twin in real-time. Furthermore, AVEVA E3D Design can be easily customized and set up to meet the specific needs of various companies or projects across all sectors, whether focusing on industrial plants or the marine industry, ensuring versatility and efficiency in its application.

Description

SOLIDWORKS is a world-leading 3D design, CAD, and product development platform that has defined innovation for engineers and creators for over three decades. Built by Dassault Systèmes, it delivers a unified environment for design, simulation, documentation, and manufacturing—all with the goal of helping users bring ideas to life faster. The 2026 version marks a major leap forward with AI-powered automation, including selective loading for large assemblies, fastener recognition, and AURA AI, an intelligent design companion that boosts productivity. Deep integration with the 3DEXPERIENCE cloud ecosystem allows teams to collaborate securely, access designs anywhere, and connect real-time data from concept to production. With powerful simulation tools, electrical design integration, and streamlined workflows, SOLIDWORKS reduces manual effort and design iteration time dramatically. Its intuitive interface and broad compatibility make it ideal for both professionals and students. Trusted by innovators like Future Motion, Toyota, and Vermeer, SOLIDWORKS continues to shape the future of design and engineering. Whether you’re creating consumer products, vehicles, or complex machinery, it provides everything you need to go from idea to reality.
