Home » What is Solidworks Certification Centre?

Contents

SolidWorks is a parametric solid modeler that starts the modeling process by creating a 2D sketch consisting of simple geometries. These sketches are operated using special 3D features such as extrusion or revolving around an axis. This is to generate realistic computational representations of models giving the user the exact idea of how the product will look. The software is written on Parasolid, a popular geometry modeling kernel that allows for an easy understanding of the modeling process.

Talking about SolidWorks strictly means talking about user-friendly computational environments and the simulation process is not an exception. Using the Solidworks Simulation tab is not only easy to use, but its also accuracy levels are outstanding. This is one of the main reasons why it shares around 18% of the design software companies’ market.

Not only is it popular between freelancing designers and hobbyists. But Solidworks has also gained recognition among important companies, and what’s most important for new users is that some of those companies were a startup first. These startups benefited from Solidwork’s enhanced features to increase their productivity until they became important brands in their economic sector.
