SOLIDWORKS is a 3D CAD modeling software offering a foundation for inspiration, innovation, and creativity. Millions of engineers and designers worldwide use SolidWorks, with just as many students graduating each year with training in the unique 3D modeling software.
SOLIDWORKS allows its users to go from concept to tangible 3D printed inventions due to its compatibility with the PC and its user-friendly nature. And that’s why it’s not only so popular, but skill in this specific 3D modeling software is sought out by industry employers.
To complement and accentuate knowledge in SolidWorks, MySolidWorks was created as a rich online source of training modules where the user or student can learn about a plethora of design subjects, as well as receive support and other venues of enrichment. With 2.7 million SOLIDWORKS users worldwide, an arena for everyone to connect and sharpen knowledge only streamlines the advantages and benefits available regarding use of the software. Users are able to stay current, efficient, and sharp — and keep learning continually — with a constant, relevant source to turn to regarding SOLIDWORKS and all it entails.
“I need to ensure that our 140 SOLIDWORKS users are efficient in their use of SOLIDWORKS and are working at maximum productivity. MySolidWorks is a tool that helps me do just that,” said Greg Johnson, Senior Applications Specialist at Vermeer, a global industrial and agricultural equipment manufacturer.
“With MySolidWorks I can search for and find the best answers to questions about SOLIDWORKS and share those answers with my team. Plus, there’s real value in the online training at MySolidWorks. When my engineers are confronted with a problem, they can easily find online training content that presents a quick solution.”
MySolidWorks offers a range of CAD models, courses, news, and forums — as well as cloud storage accounts that can be accessed there. The platform is available on three different levels: MySolidWorks, MySolidWorks Standard, and MySolidWorks Professional. Each level is ascending in features, benefits, and capabilities.
With recent enhancements just announced by parent company France-based Dassault Systems, all MySolidWorks users are now receiving new benefits and features:
MySolidWorks Training — Users can look forward to a whopping 120 new training modules, including study courses for certification that include items such as SolidWorks Essentials, Advanced Part Modeling, Sheet Metal Design, Assembly Modeling, and more.
