SolidWorks 2009 New Features Review

Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corp. launched the new promo site about improvements and additional features in SolidWorks 2009. The system is up to 65% faster, which gives you more time to design better products – every day. With over 250 enhancements, great speed and groundbreaking performance, SolidWorks 2009 will change your sense of time.

Here are just a few of the SolidWorks 2009 exciting new features:

Large Assembly Handling Improvements SolidWorks 2009 performance has been improved for very large and complex assemblies. Commands with improved performance include: Window selection; copying, adding, saving, and deleting subassemblies; and adding and editing mates.	SpeedPak Technology SpeedPak is a new technology that creates a simplified version of a complex assembly without losing references. The result is a significant performance enhancement for both large assemblies and drawings.
Simulation Advisor A Simulation Advisor has been added to many of the model setup menus to provide expert advice at nearly every stage of the simulation. With an intuitive question-and-answer workflow, you are prompted to choose more efficient and accurate techniques that might not have been obvious at the start of the project.	Sensors Sensors monitor selected properties in parts and assemblies and alert you when values deviate from the user-specified limits. Sensor types include mass properties, measurement, interference, and SolidWorks Simulation data. The Sensor tool in SolidWorks Simulation allows you to set their design goals like allowable stress, displacement, or even part weight. The sensors will monitor results across multiple studies and alert you when any design goal has been violated.
