What’s New in SOLIDWORKS 2022—3D CAD

Auto Draft

SOLIDWORKS 2022 enhances the capabilities and workflows used in everyday tasks such as design, documentation, data management, validation, and more. SOLIDWORKS 2022 delivers the performance you need to be more productive. You can also extend the capabilities you need by connecting to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to enhance team collaboration. Use SOLIDWORKS 2022 with 3DEXPERIENCE WORKS to meet more challenges and accelerate innovation.

Auto Draft
1. Assembly performance and workflow
  • Take advantage of the improved performance of these features to save time opening, closing, and saving assemblies
    Open subassemblies faster with Large Design Review mode. From within an assembly in Large
  • Design Review mode
  • open a subassembly in Large Design Review mode or Undo mode

Advantage

Process large assemblies faster with an expanded workflow and improved performance.

Auto Draft2. The use of detail mode is increased

· Access Detailing Mode for all drawings, regardless of which SOLIDWORKS version you are saving with or whether you are saving in Detailing Mode.
· Open drawings

Advantage

Save time opening
SOLIDWORKS drawings and detailing.

3. More efficient geometric dimensions and tolerances

· Guided by the user interface, work directly in the graphics area,
building feature control frames cell by cell. · Create tolerance boxes
according to ISO 1101:2017 and the associated standards of ISO 2692, ISO 5458, ISO 5459 and ISO 8015.

Advantage

Work faster and more intuitively when setting design tolerances.

Auto Draft

4. Hybrid modeling

Create hybrid solid or surface geometry, including mesh BREP geometry as well as classic BREP geometry.
Combine the strengths of mesh data with the precision and parametric features available in solid modeling

Advantage

SOLIDWORKS 2022 uses hybrid modeling to save time working with mesh geometry.

Auto Draft

5. Part modeling enhancements

· Easily create externally threaded stud features using the Stud Wizard.
· Create drafts on both sides of the parting line at the same time.
· Mirror geometry around two planes at a time instead of twice.
· Create decorative.

Advantage

Create part geometry faster and easier with SOLIDWORKS 2022.

Auto Draft

6. Cut list support in BOM

Save time by automatically or manually unwrapping components in indented BOMs to create detailed cut lists in Bill of Materials (BOM) tables exactly the way you want.
· Create balloons for child weldment cut list items in the BOM, where the balloon attribute corresponds to the linked BOM.
· Create detailed cut lists for all BOM types, not just indented BOMs.

Advantage

Take advantage of BOM enhancements and cut list improvements.

Auto Draft

7. Configuration table

· Create table-driven parts using SOLIDWORKS native tables without using Microsoft® Excel.
· Automatically create configuration tables when a part or assembly has multiple configurations, saving time and effort.
· Gain design flexibility with additional functionality not provided in the Modify Configuration dialog but provided by the configuration sheet.

Advantage

SOLIDWORKS 2022 saves time creating configurations with a streamlined, integrated workflow.

Auto Draft

8. Structural system and weldment improvements

· Easily add end caps to structural system piping components using round, square or rectangular profiles.
· Create multiple secondary members for the selected pair using the Between Points members and the Maximum member’s method to create secondary members. Save time
by defining reusable connection elements and inserting them into structural system parts.

Advantage

SOLIDWORKS 2022 leverages structural system improvements
to create weldments faster and easier.

Auto Draft

9. Performance improvements for import and display

· Faster opening of DXF™ or DWG files in part sketches.
· Faster opening of STEP files in SOLIDWORKS.
· Faster display of 3D textures and silhouette edges.

Advantage

Increase design speed with performance improvements in import and model display.

Auto Draft

10. Improved collaboration and data sharing

· By connecting SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD to the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, you can easily manage and share all your data and collaborate with others to accelerate innovation and decision-making.
· Use 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS to access your frequently used 3DEXPERIENCE commands from multiple locations in SOLIDWORKS, including the File Menu, Command Manager, and Context Menu, and support all 3DEXPERIENCE operations.

Advantage

Improve your competitive advantage with the power and breadth of the 3DEXPERIENCE
Works portfolio.

SOLIDWORKS® design-to-manufacturing solutions provide an integrated system that enables design and manufacturing teams to work together in parallel. A single environment provides all the necessary tools and eliminates the time-consuming transition of data between different departments, thereby avoiding the errors and misunderstandings that often occur. Designers and engineers can spend more time optimizing designs without worrying about changes that threaten delivery goals. As a result, companies can move from conceptual design to part manufacturing faster and easier than ever before.
