What differentiates SOLIDWORKS from other similar products?
One of the most pleasurable software i have worked on for designing. As a mechanical engineer, I have worked with different modeling softwares. This one is quite intuitive and hence saves a lot of time. Implements real world physics and logic.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The drawings are so explanatory and easy to understand that I had a great time explaining in my final project. Doesn't require much thinking to understand. Hence a non technical person is also able to easily grasp the concepts.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Had some difficulty in learning simulation and assembly portion of modeling. So it would be great if some training material is provided by the company.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Will always be my first choice if I;m given an array of different modeling software. For complex and higher industry level application, a bit patience is required and you might experience some less degree of freedom. But for moderately complex products, this is a great option to go for.
Pros
- Unique Features
- Respectful
- Fair
- Helps Innovate
