Desktop | Cloud | |
Look/Feel | Classic SOLIDWORKS experience | The UI keeps the same elements such as the design feature tree. The CommandManager, now known as the "action bar," has been moved to the bottom. It remains very familiar. |
License Type |
Local license file is tied to your machine | Available as a named user subscription license |
Network Requirements |
Internet required for software download and installation | An internet connection is required, but maintains an invisible local cache for working offline until the connection stabilizes or when ready to save your changes |
Hardware requirements |
SW Desktop requiers a powerful multi-core processor, at least 16 GB of RAM, a dedicated graphics card with 2 GB VRAM, and an SSD for the operating system |
A modern graphics card is advantageous but less crucial for local graphics due to the cloud-based nature of the software. However, a computer with 8GB or more of RAM and a multi-core processor is beneficial, particularly for handling larger models |

Yes! With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform (using the 3DSwymer role), you have the capability to foster collaboration among stakeholders, facilitating a dynamic and innovative work environment. Here's how:
The SOLIDWORKS Cloud Offer includes the 3D Render role (xStudio) to generate photorealistic renderings.
Rendering credits are needed to carry out a rendering job using xStudio. The number of credits required generally varies based on factors such as image size, resolution, and complexity, usually falling within the range of a few credits to 8 per rendering. The number of required credits is indicated and updated in real-time on the rendering job queue.
This offer provides you with 100 credits, If your project demands more, additional credits can be purchased here.
A single modeling environment enables rapid creation and iteration without the constraints of traditional CAD tools. Design Guidance provides design inspiration based on real-world loads and fixtures.
