Dassault Systèmes introduced SOLIDWORKS 2020, the latest version of its portfolio of 3D design and engineering applications. The SOLIDWORKS 2020 offers enhancements, new features and workflows that enable more than six million SOLIDWORKS users to accelerate and improve their product development process from conceptual design to the finished product stage.
Dassault Systèmes' research and development team created Solid works 2020 in response to thousands of development requests from the SOLIDWORKS community . Connected to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, the SOLIDWORKS 2020 will also meet global market trends and business requirements, requiring competitive organizations to reach new levels of collaboration and agility and offer new categories of experience faster and cost-effectively.
With hundreds of new enhancements to the SOLIDWORKS 2020, users will benefit from a variety of options and opportunities to improve system performance in everyday operations, improve workflows, and seamlessly connect the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to move ecosystems from desktop to cloud.
Among the hundreds of new enhancements in SOLIDWORKS 2020, there are:
New Annotation mode and graphic acceleration for drawings: The new Annotation mode allows users to open their drawings in seconds while maintaining the ability to add and edit annotations into the drawing. The drill mode is particularly useful when users need to make small edits to drawings of large assemblies or drawings with a large number of pages, configurations, or source-intensive views.
Flexible Part is a new feature that allows users to show the same part in different situations in the same assembly. For example, a spring can take place in the same assembly twice but in two different states: compressed and uncompressed. Flexible Part; a useful feature in a variety of design applications such as springs, bellows, hinges, 'O' gaskets, and in the case of any part that can change or flex the situation.

Improvements to SOLIDWORKS PDM, SOLIDWORKS Electrical connector, and a new SOLIDWORKS PCB connector will enable tighter collaboration between ECAD and MCAD teams, while providing full-fledged electronic design and data management, including secure storage, indexing and versioning of all user data.
With the SOLIDWORKS 2020 and 3DEXPERIENCE.WORKS solution portfolio, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform; offers a growing set of cloud-based solutions that work together to help manage concept development, product design, and production and delivery. Solutions such as 3D Sculptor with xShape (subsection modeling), 3D Creator with xDesign (3D modeling), 3D Component Designer (data management), Project Planner and Structural Professional Engineer (advanced simulation) allow users to reduce the roughness of processes from design to manufacturing. knows.
As announced earlier this year in SOLIDWORKS World 2019, all these cloud-based solutions will be part of the 3DEXPERIENCE.WORKS portfolio, which combines the power and scope of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform with the simplicity and ease of use of SOLIDWORKS.
Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS CEO Gian Paolo Bassi said: “We not only add new, powerful capabilities to the SOLIDWORKS portfolio that everyone knows and love, but we are also expanding it to the cloud through the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, the only integrated digital experience platform in the world. We have built a bridge to our platform-based portfolio that encourages our users to take advantage of 3DEXPERIENCE.WORKS. It provides organizations with the environment and practices necessary to embrace the Industrial Renaissance and its spirit of discovering new inventions, innovations and ways to collaborate and produce. ”
