We needed technology that can tackle large design projects, and SolidWorks delivers,” Kuttner said.Īmong its new features, SolidWorks 2019 provides greater design flexibility to quickly interrogate or rapidly make changes to a model thanks to an enhanced Large Design Review capability. The final production version of the telescope will contain over 100,000 parts.
“Our design processes generate a large and growing dataset. “We are using SolidWorks to support implementation of the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer 10-meter-class telescope that will open new possibilities for scientific discovery,” Dassault Systèmes’ ANZ sales director, Filip Kuttner said at the launch. The features in SolidWorks 2019 are being used in the design of the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer 10-metre-class telescope – part of the collaborative project to revitalise the Canada-France-Hawai‘i Telescope (CFHT) observatory through replacing the existing 1970-vintage optical telescope with a modern segmented-mirror telescope and dedicated science instrumentation. SolidWorks 2019 also offers new technologies and workflows that improve collaboration and enable immersive, interactive experiences during design and engineering. New features let product development teams better manage large amounts of data and capture a more complete digital representation of a design. Powered by Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, SolidWorks 2019 supports the design to manufacturing process with digital capabilities to solve complex design challenges and facilitate detail work in engineering. The SolidWorks 2019 launch event at the Western Sydney University (WSU) introduced product demonstrations and use case examples by WSU professors and students, as well as presentations by industry users including Markforged and Trakka. The latest software delivers enhancements and new functionalities that help users to get products into production faster.
