Solidworks Education 2014-2015 encourages collaboration in the teaching environment

Looking ahead to the start of the new academic year, Dassault Systèmes has launched the Solidworks Education version 2014-2015, a set of tools, based on the 3DExperience platform, that helps students develop technical and scientific design work.

The version Solidworks Education Edition 2014-15 incorporates new tools and improvements that seek to strengthen students' ability to shorten design processes, including 3D CAD, simulation, product data management, technical communications and electrical design. In addition, Dassault Systèmes This release also aims to increase collaboration in teams and boost educational performance in numerous areas..

In the version 2014-15 Updated guides and lessons are included with new content that provides the teacher with additional support in the development of science syllabi., technology, engineering and mathematics.

Robot assembly model libraries help teams competing in Robotics First and other platforms like Lego, Tetrix by Pitsco y Matrix. The dimension of the trajectory (Path Dimension) is a sketching feature for FSAE and robotics teams that need to design with chains and belts.

Curved patterns feature is also offered, allowing for faster and easier pattern creation, such as chains and conveyor systems; while the assembly operation provides the keys to add a rotational operation to the components and communicate more clearly and effectively the product assembly processes on the sketches and animations..

Finally, The Solidworks Electrical module allows students in engineering and robotics programs to create electrical projects starting with 2D system schematics and ending with 3D routing and wiring of interconnecting components.

Qualified schools are providing Solidworks version licenses for students at no cost, so that students can use them outside the classroom. Besides, Schools with a Solidworks Education subscription can become a certified academic exam provider and administer the Certified Solidworks Associate exam. (CSWA) to his students.
