What’s New in SOLIDWORKS 2020 - Streamlined Workflows

Discover the power of Streamlined Workflows in SOLIDWORKS 2020. Learn more about how enhancements in design, simulation, and manufacturing enable simplified workflows so you can shorten your time to market, improve product quality and reduce manufacturing costs.

• Sketching
  • Selecting edges is now faster and more robust than ever! The new features in sketcher lets you achieve G3 curvature between curves thereby allowing a seamless transition. Now you can control the rate of the curvature along the curve as it transitions from one curve or surface to another.
• Mesh Geometry
  • Mesh enhancements in SOLIDWORKS 2020 improve the ability to directly edit BREP Mesh formats like STL by introducing new tools like Fillet, Chamfer, Mutual Trim, Knit Surfaces, Delete Hole, Delete & Fill, and more.
• Simulations
  • Simulation Evaluator is a new feature that checks your simulation model for common errors related to result location, material and mesh volume. It empowers Simulation users with the confidence of having the correct simulation setup and results.
• Structure Systems
  • Structure system provides a more flexible method to create welded structures with or without the use of complex 3D Sketches to define all members.
• Assembly Patterns
  • Assembly patterns provide an efficient way to add multiple copies of components to your SOLIDWORKS Assemblies. New in SOLIDWORKS 2020, Pattern Driven Component Patterns are more intelligent, Linear and Circular Patterns are more versatile and Mirror Components are more robust.
• Flexible Components
  • Discover the new capabilities that allow you to display the same part in different conditions in the same assembly. For example, the same spring exists twice in the same assembly but in two different conditions – compressed and not compressed.
