CAD Partner: SolidWorks

ALGOR’s complete product line supports direct CAD/CAE data exchange of parts and assemblies from SolidWorks for use with any analysis type within a single, easy-to-use FEA user interface. Through an industry-standard plug-in architecture, our InCAD technology provides full associativity with SolidWorks - allowing you to make iterative design changes without needing to redefine FEA loads, constraints and other data. Even when SolidWorks resides on a separate computer, this unique technology can be used for the same, fully associative interoperability.

About SolidWorks

ALGOR's InCAD technology provided direct CAD/CAE data exchange of a lifting tower assembly modeled in SolidWorks (left) for an ALGOR linear static stress analysis (right) to determine stresses.

The SolidWorks software product has become the standard in 3D design. SolidWorks is 100% focused on mechanical design, helping manufacturers get products to market faster. SolidWorks’ powerful modeling and intuitive user interface enables engineers to create parts, assemblies and drawings faster than ever. Cutting and pasting design features is as easy in SolidWorks as in Microsoft Word. Model changes are automatically reflected throughout the design. Drawings are automatic and support international standards, dual dimensions and automatic hidden-line removal.
