Focused on enabling users with powerful design workflows, the next generation of SOLIDWORKS browser-based and mobile-ready applications also bring leading edge capabilities, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and generative design, to every designer. True to its mission to democratize 3D design, SOLIDWORKS continues to empower its passionate community: Millions of students, educators, makers, professionals and life-long learners who create cutting-edge products and develop countless world-changing innovations.

SolidWorks is a widely used CAD software owned by Dassault Systemes. It uses the principle of parametric design and generates three kinds of
interconnected files: the part, the assembly, and the drawing. It is rich in features and enables the creation of almost any shape imaginable, its focus is on
engineering design by way of geometric parametric modelling. At the initial stage, the software is used for planning, visual ideation, modelling, feasibility
assessment, prototyping, and project management. Now it can be used for management, including device management, analytics, data automation, and
cloud services. It is used by mechanical, electrical, and electronics engineers to form a connected design. It helps to perform 2D and 3D modelling.
SolidWorks is open-source software. The software runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. It supports the following 3D file formats such as —

• Adobe Illustrator
• Adobe Photoshop
• Adobe Portable
• Autodesk Inventor
• CATIA
• Graphics
• Pro/ENGINEER
• ProStep
• EDMED
• Rhino
