What’s New in SOLIDWORKS 2021
R2021x introduces the new 3DEXPERIENCE WORKS portfolio, bringing cloud benefits to mid-market and SOLIDWORKS customers across design and engineering, simulation, manufacturing and production, and governance. The new 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS Standard / Professional / Premium roles offer all the functionalities of SOLIDWORKS Desktop with the connection to the platform to leverage all its capabilities.
My3DEXPERIENCE, a new experience available in the platform
My3DEXPERIENCE, a new experience available in the platform and on 3ds.com, makes it easy to discover, and in time buy, the entire Dassault Systèmes offering as users’ needs grow and evolve. Already, select key roles can be purchased online. In addition, users can connect data and people, and stay informed with various content feeds from internal and external sources, based on interests.
The release also features powerful functional enhancements, bringing an unparalleled combination of advanced technologies, roles, and industry experiences to customers:
- Browser-based 3D capabilities across various complementary value streams and for specialized domains, i.e. not just in 3D design with generative & algorithmic 3D modeling for construction, or with 3D sheet metal, but also in 3D marketing with interactive product showcases creation.
- Unique paradigms to create in 3D e.g. Flow Driven Generative Design to automatically generate optimal duct shapes, and Generative Functional Tolerancing to automate the creation of accurate geometric tolerancing schema.
- Bringing the power of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to more users by connecting them to the 3DEXPERIENCE model-based semantics e.g. Cadence® Allegro® and SolidEdge® users, and enhancements for AutoCAD® and Altium® users.
- Breakthroughs in intelligence for business innovation. For example, automated and guided component classification, based on 3D shape & semantic analysis, and on AI / machine learning. Also, PLM Analytics tailored to project portfolio & product engineering managers.
- Enhancements to end-to-end Additive Manufacturing from function-driven and specialized design (e.g. now with design of previously unachievable complex lattice structures), to optimized process (e.g. now with multiple concurrent lasers), to realistic manufacturing, and to bringing the model from Virtual to Real with the 3DEXPERIENCE Marketplace (e.g. now within the designer environment).

WHAT'S NEW IN CATIA R2021X
DELIVERING MULTIPLE ENHANCEMENTS FOR DESIGNERS, ENGINEERS, SYSTEMS ENGINEERS AND CONSTRUCTION PROFESSIONALS.
This new Dassault Systèmes’ CATIA R2021x release FD03 delivers new Roles and enhancements for designers, engineers, systems engineers and construction professionals.
- For Designers: 3D Shape Designer is a new role for nomad creative designers. It enables creativity anytime, anywhere on any device.
- For Engineers: Multidiscipline Automated Drafter brings interactive drafting and rule-based automatic generation (including batch) of specialized drawings for heavy industries such as Marine & Offshore, Energy & Materials and Construction. The new and unique Generative Functional Tolerancing functionality automates the creation of accurate geometric tolerancing schema for all engineers. Flow Driven Generative Designer allows engineers who are not fluid analysis specialists to automatically generate optimal duct shapes based upon a functional specification. The new Lattice Designer role enables the conceptual and detailed design of previously unachievable complex lattice structures for lightweight parts that are produced using additive manufacturing.
- For Systems Engineers: In R2021x we continue to enhance our Cyber Systems Engineering capabilities, with new integrations with No Magic and STIMULUS, ensuring consistent and accurate solutions for Model based Systems Engineering across the enterprise.
- For Construction Professionals: The new browser-based Computational Designer for Construction role brings generative and algorithmic modeling technology to designers and engineers. It enables these innovators to model complex shapes and patterns anywhere, any time on any device with no software to install.
