SOLIDWORKS Ecosystems Help Accelerate Innovation, Improve Bottom Lines



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.

5 Reasons Why Low-Cost CAD Software Could Be A Perfect Option For You



Computer-aided design (CAD) is used to lend a hand in the creation, analysis, and modification of conception. It is used to progress the productivity and change of design, enhancing the communication via documentation and for manufacturing it to design something new and productive.
Today, various professionals use such software as an essential tool. Some professionals also consist of multiple engineers, interior designers to complete the work. The demand for such software packs is increasing day by day. Keeping in mind, the necessity of different users both high-cost and low cost CAD software are available in the market nowadays. The choice is entirely depended on the needs and requirements. CostCheap CAD software has got many benefits and advantages.  Few are mentioned below.
Reason 1: Budget friendly
Many of us can’t spend a lot of money buying original software. Most users can save a lot of money if they use low-cost CAD Software. But then, remember, you should consider a few things such as they not only save their money once but savings are made for a longer phase of time. It is due to the reason that most of the premium CAD Software needs regular payment of license fees to utilizes them. Thus, low cost CAD software is pocket-friendly, and hence it can benefit a lot of users.
Reason 2: Simplicity
All the Premium CAD Software are quite complicated at times to understand. It kills a lot of time and energy to learn the software.  It consists of numerous tools for multiple types of another profession. It means that a person when using such kind of software needs to get trained nicely. Whenever a new version is available, an online or offline course has to be done order to understand the basics of using the software correctly.
Reason 3: Variety of options available
A lot of smaller CAD software companies in Kolkata are present which develop their programs to fulfill the requirement of the client. It means that if someone is looking for simple software for a particular application, it can be found out from a smaller software company. Without spending a lot of money, the purpose can be sorted out quickly. 
Reason 4: Features
A user can get a lot of features without spending a lot of money. Simple software with the features required can be easily bought. Low-cost CAD software’s are simple, proficient and it saves a lot of time.
Reason 5: Efficient and easy to use
It is easier for the user to use cheap CAD Software in Kolkata and it consists only of few important features and not a ton of features, which makes any software difficult to use. But then, it also takes a lot of time to understand. To fulfill a few requirements, such software packs are nice as it saves a lot of time and energy.
You should always think a couple of occasions before spending your money. Those mentioned above are the few reasons that why you should consider a low-cost CAD Software can, it can turn out to be a perfect one. You just need to keep one aspect in mind, and that is to buy the particular software, which fulfills and serves all the requirements.
