WHAT’S NEW IN SOLIDWORKS 2020—3D CAD

Large Assembly Drawings for Working Faster

Faster Assembly Design

Flexible Components

Faster Sketching

Faster Calculations and Improved Accuracy for Simulation

Benefi tsWork faster on drawings with many sheets, confi gurations, and resource-intensive views.

Benefi tsSpeed up assembly design and reduce visual clutter.

Benefi tsCreate assembly designs faster while maintaining an accurate bill of materials.

Benefi tsCreate robust sketches faster.

Benefi tsRun faster calculations and better simulation of real-world behavior.

• Detailing Mode: Open drawings in a matter of secondswhile maintaining the ability to add and edit annotations.

• Graphics Acceleration for Drawings: Improve frame rateswhen panning and zooming within drawings withhardware-accelerated rendering.

• Envelope Publisher: Include components from a top-levelassembly as envelopes in a subassembly.

• Large Design Review: Create mates to the referencegeometry of components, create and edit linear andcircular component patterns, edit pattern-driven andsketch-driven component patterns.

Make Part Flexible: Display the same part in different conditions in the same assembly. For example, show a spring compressed and at full length in the same assembly.

• Silhouette Entities: Create multiple sketch entities byprojecting the outline of component bodies onto a parallelsketch plane.

• Torsion Continuity Relation: Achieve G3 curvature betweensketched curves, thereby allowing a seamless transition.

• Speed and Accuracy: Speed up analysis and improveaccuracy by combining linear and quadratic elements inthe same simulation study.

• Pin and Bolt Connectors: Deform faces attached to Pinand Bolt connectors.

• Beam Models: Import temperatures to perform a stressanalysis after running a thermal analysis on a modelwith beams.
