Products

MCAD offers 3 versions of SolidWorks 3D design software.  Each version builds upon the other with the addition of more features. This provides clients the option of selecting only those capabilities that apply to them, but with the ability to easily upgrade to another version should the need arise.

 

SolidWorks® Premium

SolidWorks® Premium software integrates a broad range of mechanical CAD, design validation, product data management, design communication, and CAD productivity tools in a single, affordable, easy to use package.  The most robust of the SolidWorks® family of products.

The SolidWorks® Simulation suite provides the advanced capabilities you need to get to market faster—designers can catch mistakes sooner, change course quickly, and create better-performing products at a lower cost.  SolidWorks® Simulation allows you to subject your designs to the real world conditions they will experience.  Discover how virtual simulation can reveal potential design flaws without physical prototypes.

 

Simulation Premium

SolidWorks® Simulation Premium bolsters the depth and ease of use of SolidWorks® Simulation Professional with additional capabilities, including a powerful set of tools for simulating nonlinear and dynamic response as well as composite materials.

  • Simulate products made with nonlinear materials
  • Capture the effects of large displacements on your designs
  • Perform dynamic analyses of parts and assemblies
  • Simulate composite materials

Simulation Professional

Fully integrated with SolidWorks® CAD software, SolidWorks Simulation Professional provides powerful tools that expand the capabilities of SolidWorks® Simulation, so you can investigate more tests and operating environments on both parts and assemblies.

  • Study and optimize assemblies of all sizes
  • Understand the effects of temperature changes on parts and assemblies
  • Simulate vibration or buckling in your designs
  • Optimize critical dimensions and conceptual design features
  • Simulate drop tests using your parts or assemblies
  • Study the effects of cyclic loading and fatigue 
  • Predict Buckling or Collapse
  • Create motion simulations based on events and actions

SolidWorks® Simulation

SolidWorks® Premium includes built-in simulation tools allowing you to easily subject your designs to the same conditions that they’ll experience in the real world.  SolidWorks® Premium will allow you to simulate static or dynamic loads to evaluate your design’s performance under stress, strain, and displacement.  Other simulation capabilities included in SolidWorks® Premium include:

  • Assembly Simulation
  • Mechanism Simulation
  • Tolerance stack-up Simulation








Flow Simulation

SolidWorks® Flow Simulation is a powerful computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool that enables you to quickly and easily simulate fluid flow, heat transfer, and fluid forces when these interactions are critical to the success of your design.

  • Simulate complex flow problems
  • Simulate liquid and gas flow in real world conditions
  • Quickly analyze the effects of fluid flow, heat transfer, and related forces on immersed or surrounding components
  • Simulate electronic design with multi-physics for fluid flow as well as thermal analysis.
  • Visualize complex flow results such as flow trajectories, section plots, and surface plot data.

SolidWorks® Enterprise PDM

Access, store, change and approve design data more efficiently with SolidWorks Enterprise PDM software.

Uniquely adapted to the requirements of geographically dispersed workgroups, SolidWorks Enterprise PDM software can be deployed in a fraction of the time required by other PDM and PLM systems. SolidWorks Enterprise PDM helps organizations manage and share product data more effectively and automate workflow to allow better collaboration from engineering to the shop floor, resulting in better products, lower costs, and faster time to market.

Easy to implement and use, SolidWorks Enterprise PDM software is the only product data management solution (PDM solution) entirely integrated within Windows Explorer.  Users perform all functions either through Windows Explorer or one of its CAD integrations. Through this PDM software functionality, users across the enterprise can readily manage files and collaborate more effectively throughout the product lifecycle.

Features:

  • Secure access
  • Easy, fast implementation
  • Revision Control
  • Reduce search time by 90%
  • Scalability
  • Custom configuration
  • Find and reuse design data
  • Full document preview
  • Distributed design teams
  • Remote access
  • Automated approval process
  • Audit trai

3DVIA

3DVIA Composer is easy-to-use software that anyone associated with product development can use to
quickly create 2D and 3D images and animations, allowing you to create a full range of product documentation — whether for assembly instructions, marketing collateral, technical illustrations, interactive animations, or training materials.

The Traditional Way
Traditionally, engineers spend valuable hours capturing digital pictures and screen shots of their designs for both internal departments and external agencies. This imperfect system often leads to workflow bottlenecks on the engineering side and costly delays in getting products to market.

The 3DVIA Way
Now, a company’s design and documentation can be produced on parallel tracks, greatly reducing a products time to market.  With 3DVIA Composer, companies realize substantial savings in time and rework costs by not having to recreate or redo product documentation when there are changes to the product.  For engineers, 3DVIA Composer means less time focusing on ad hoc work, and more time focusing on innovation.

SolidWorks Sustainability

The easy way to more Environmentally Friendly Designs
In today’s global marketplace, being a responsible company is often paramount to success. From shareholders to consumers, everyone is increasingly demanding products that are more environmentally conscious, if not 100 percent “green.” SolidWorks Sustainability helps the design community better understand the ecological impact of its work and make more environmentally friendly design choices. Our program is built around core capabilities that are as easy to use as they are comprehensive.
