28. Cad Software

SolidWorks 2007 CAD software features “expert” functionality that solves problems. SWIFT — SolidWorks Intelligent Feature Technology — seeks to eliminate the need for users to learn how 3D CAD software thinks, and to make every user an expert from the start. SWIFT tackles the paradox of increasing CAD power and complexity. The more features CAD software encompasses the more complex it invariably becomes. SWIFT resolves the paradox via a series of expert tools that automatically diagnose and cure 3D CAD’s most frustrating problems in feature order, mates, sketch relationships, and similar operations. Users need only focus on the product design, not on the steps to complete it. Rather than relying on the in-house CAD jockey or spending hours trying to divine CAD processes, product designers and engineers can now focus on innovation and creativity to design better products faster.
