Solidworks 2020 Solidworks 2020 by Dassault Systèmes is a field-proven computer-aided design environment. Engineers use it to design, program, simulate, and maintain mechanical and electrical design systems with consistent data throughout, reducing manual re-entry and the errors that come with it.
Core Functions. Built-in calculation and checking tools validate strength, clearance, and standards compliance early, reducing expensive iteration loops. Parametric sketching and feature-based modeling capture design intent, so late changes propagate cleanly through parts, assemblies, and drawings instead of forcing rework. Sheet-metal, surface, and weldment toolsets cover specialized geometry needs without leaving the environment, with flat-pattern and manufacturing data ready for the shop. Data exchange via STEP, IGES, DXF, and native formats keeps supplier and customer collaboration straightforward, with geometry healing for imperfect imports. Rendering and visual documentation tools produce presentation-ready images and exploded views straight from engineering data. Automated drawing production generates standards-compliant views, dimensions, and bills of materials directly from the model, keeping documentation synchronized by construction. Revision management tracks versions, compares releases, and controls who changes what, giving traceable history for audits and customer sign-off. Template-driven project structures and reusable feature libraries speed up repeat designs and enforce company standards automatically. Import and export functions keep collaboration with customers, suppliers, and partner engineering offices straightforward and loss-free. Automated checks validate projects against configurable rules before release, catching inconsistencies that reviews tend to miss. Support and update channels remain available throughout the product lifecycle, keeping installations current and secure. Performance profiling and reporting help teams understand where engineering time is spent and where processes can be tightened further. Documentation, training material, and example projects are included to shorten onboarding for new team members. Project templates and reusable libraries standardize repeat work, so every new job starts from proven material instead of a blank page. Integration interfaces connect the environment with surrounding engineering and enterprise systems, avoiding manual data transfers.
New in Version 2020. Version 2020 refines stability across the board and rolls in the accumulated fixes from earlier maintenance releases. New in version 2020: faster project open and save on large programs, more responsive editors, and smoother device integration. Version 2020 extends device and library coverage, adds usability refinements to the most-used editors, and improves project conversion reliability.
Supported Systems. Runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit). Multi-core processors and 16 GB RAM are recommended for large projects, along with 10 GB of free disk space and a current graphics driver.
