thoughts on solidworks?

Probably the wrong forum, but it's easily the best 3D modeling program available. It's not the best for analysis, but if you want something that is fast and easy to design with it's the best.

Well, it has a nice driveshaft cutaway, but it doesn't look graphically realistic and their logo could use some work.

Pretty good program for 3D modeling, shit for everything else.

Awesome 3D modeling program, has it quirks.

Horrendous on Nvidia GeForce cards

>3D modelling
Great
>Finite Element Analysis
It's good enough for most standard solid metallic pieces and pretty easy for beginners, but there are WAY better programs out there and it's mostly a black box.
>Rendering
Good enough.

You can make models that look like that in solid works. The rendering and slicing ability are really good.

I haven't had any problems yet.

Haven't tried it yet, but I have heard good things.

This sums up the program quite nicely. For FEA you would want to export it to something like Ansys.


Pic related is something I designed and printed in solid works. It's very easy to work with and export for 3D printing if that's your thing.

How does the lighting work?

Whats the best for seeing diffusion gradients of 2 pipes feeding into one

It's pretty solid and it just works

Creo can do more, I'll give it that. But Solidworks can do a lot while being much nicer to learn.

I know which one I would choose.
