At SOLIDWORKS ( KOLKATA ,
WEST BENGAL), not only do we focus on creating great products, but we invest
significant time understanding and nurturing engineering and product
ecosystems. SOLIDWORKS ecosystems Like Fusion Multitech kolkata take
the complex interactions between several disciplines such as design (MCAD and
ECAD), manufacturing, service, quality, supply chain, marketing, inventory, and
end customers into account to deliver best-in-class and easy-to-use process
solutions impacting business outcomes for our end customers.
We build ecosystems to
improve business outcomes like accelerated innovation, expansion into new
markets as well as multiple product lines, digital sales, and profitability,
just to name a few. With SOLIDWORKS 2017, we are addressing four ecosystems
that customers can leverage right away: Design to Manufacturing, Data
Management, Simulation and IoT. This blog post will discuss the products in
each ecosystem and how they were created to form a whole that will build your
bottom line and accelerate innovation.
Design-to-Manufacturing
Ecosystem:
At SOLIDWORKS Kolkata we
started with building the design-to-manufacturing ecosystem with the launch of
Model-Based Definition (MBD) and SOLIDWORKS Costing. MBD is transformational in
reducing manufacturing errors, accelerating design to manufacturing, and
reducing communication gaps. It is the digital thread in a company that
connects manufacturing to design where both stakeholders can help make designs
better. Many large companies are implementing MBD to bring design and manufacturing
closer than ever before. SOLIDWORKS Costing brings manufacturing thinking
upfront into the design cycle. SOLIDWORKS Inspection helps connect inspection
data on manufactured parts to design by automating the process.
Data Management Ecosystem
More than 200,000 SOLIDWORKS users use SOLIDWORKS PDM to manage their data. This number of loyal SOLIDWORKS PDM users is a testament to the product’s intuitiveness, ability to manage without overhead, CAD integration, ease of implementation and effectiveness at providing a return on your investment. With SOLIDWORKS 2017, users of SOLIDWORKS Professional and Premium have PDM Standard for file management. Moving from the included PDM Standard to PDM Professional is a simple switch – there is no need for new implementation or arduous processes.

SOLIDWORKS PDM manages all
products in the SOLIDWORKS portfolio including SOLIDWORKS Electrical (PCB is in
the works). his is one of the key components of ecosystem thinking – SOLIDWORKS
PDM managing all parts of our customers’ processes.
With SOLIDWORKS 2017, we are
introducing SOLIDWORKS Manage. This product enables you to conduct Project and
Process Management, Item Management and create dashboards and reports. For
customers who cannot implement PLM systems, SOLIDWORKS Manage and Distributed
Data Management is a game changer. More details on pricing, packaging of the
product and the process will be unveiled at the SOLIDWORKS 2018 launch.
Simulation Ecosystem:
I remember in 2001 when we
launched SOLIDWORKS Simulation, in some corners of the industry the feedback
was, “If a designer who is not a FEA expert does simulation, they will create
Frankensteins.” Obviously, that did not turn out to be the case. Most designs
have a factor of safety and are small deformations. Also many designers have
innate knowledge of their product and the proverbial ‘grease up their elbows,’
so they can easily interpret simulation results. SOLIDWORKS Simulation
solutions cover a wide range from Structural Simulation, Fluid Flow Simulation
and Plastic Injection molding simulation that are easy to use and can solve
complex problems.
Also upcoming in SOLIDWORKS
2018 is Simulation Engineer from SIMULIA and a process called ‘Designer to
Analyst Simulation.’ SIMULIA is a sister brand of SOLIDWORKS inside Dassault
Systemes and has very high-end simulation products for Analysts and
Researchers. Simulation Engineer is based on Abaqus technologies, which delivers
best-in-class nonlinear solvers. Our customers now can scale from SOLIDWORKS
Simulation to Simulation Engineer with one click.
IOT Ecosystem:
SOLIDWORKS has best-in-class MCAD products and we moved into ECAD as customers were telling us that many of their products in the future will be connected and managed through the IOT infrastructure. We launched SOLIDWORKS Electrical with thousands of customers using the product. Last year we launched SOLIDWORKS PCB, for Printed Circuit Board design. We’ve also partnered with Xively for the runtime management of IOT design. For more information or demo for the product please contact Fusion Multitech reseller/distributor in Kolkata.

SOLIDWORKS customers can
design MCAD and ECAD with the disruptive innovations delivered with SOLIDWORKS
and deliver runtime management of their devices with Xively. Several customers
like Freight Farms are very successful in implementing this approach.
With SOLIDWORKS ecosystems of
‘Design to Manufacturing,’ ‘Data Management,’ ‘Designer to Analyst Simulation’
and ‘IOT,’ customers can innovate and scale with industry-leading products and
processes. Please let us know if you want more information contact to Fusion
Multitech Kolkata reseller/dealer and SOLIDWORKS Kolkata team is ready to assist you in your journey.
