3D design software and product lifecycle management technology provider Dassault Systèmes has announced the new version of its SOLIDWORKS software.

Powered by Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, SOLIDWORKS 2017 helps innovators design, validate, collaborate, build and manage their product development processes with integrated applications.

SOLIDWORKS 2017 features more core power and performance, as well as new capabilities to address paperless manufacturing through the support of model based definition, and printed circuit board (PCB) design, company executives said.

Aimed at both new and experienced users who can improve productivity with simulation to analyse, solve, visualise and verify the functionality of designs, before any prototype is created, this new version does not include any additional costs. Globally, 2.5 million students across 31,000 schools use SOLIDWORKS every day, company executives said.

“Users can create multisensory experiences through innovative product design, with access to easy 3D design and development applications anytime, anywhere and on any device, said Suchit Jain, VP, Strategy and Business Development, Dassault Systemes.
