I have been using SolidWorks since 2021 and find it highly user-friendly, feature-rich, and reliable for simulations like FEA and CFD, as well as manufacturing analysis through CAM. Its smooth integration with other software and strong customer support make it easy to use on a regular basis.

Implemention of this software is user friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only drawback is occasional lag or crashes with very large assemblies, but overall, it remains a competent and versatile engineering solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how SOLIDWORKS offers an easy way to convert files from other CAD software, which boosts my productivity. The sheet metal features are particularly helpful, allowing for easy creation of punch features and using forming tools. I find the initial setup to be easy, which is a plus.

Some sheet metal parts forming is a bit difficult to make. After using forming tools, the sheet metal parts will be flattened along with the form feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
