New features and enhancements in SolidWorks 2014 includes:
  • Design Tools
    • Advanced Shape Control - New Style Spline functionality, automatic Sketch Picture scaling and Conic Fillet controls allow users to create complex surfaces and organic shapes faster, easier and with more precise control.
    • Faster Drawing Detailing - Perform faster and more automated drawing detailing.
    • Sheet Metal Improvements - New sheet metal features enable faster creation of sheet metal geometry and improved data output for manufacturing. Users gain improved control over corner treatments, the ability to create stiffening ribs such as the indented design seen on mounting brackets used to reinforce the weight and force placed on the part.
  • Integrated Workflows
    • SolidWorks Enterprise PDM Streamlined Workflow - Easily manage more data with the new Microsoft Office integration and enhanced Web Client with graphical preview.
    • SolidWorks Electrical Improved Integration and Performance - Enhanced integration with SolidWorks Enterprise PDM and eDrawings allows users to optimize, share and track electrical designs more easily for improved project collaboration.
  • Increased Productivity
    • Design Communication and Collaboration - With new support for Android devices, mobile users can expand their viewing choice beyond iOS mobile devices.
    • Streamlined Cost Estimating and Reporting - Users are able to cost parts faster with less setup, then share cost data more effectively with their business value chain. For example, key product development data for assembly can now be sent to Microsoft Excel allowing for easy sharing with departments such as manufacturing and purchasing.
  • Enhanced Visualization
    • Streamlined Simulation Setup - SolidWorks Simulation automatically leverages engineering data for re-use in simulations, eliminating duplication of effort and improving design collaboration.
    • Enhanced Assembly Performance and Visualization - Creates assemblies faster and easier with the new in-context Quick Mate tool bar and Slot Mate. For assembly in section views, users can include or exclude selected components allowing for a fast creation of more impressive section views.
