KeyCreator

If adaptability is key to how you use CAD, KeyCreator is for you! KeyCreator's robust translators can open files from most leading MCAD platforms and export to the standard formats you need. Unlike parametric-based modelers, KeyCreator employs direct modeling so you can respond to unplanned design variations on the fly — never rebuild a model over one minor change again! Drafting functionality dynamically updates drawings with any changes made to the 3D model, while the flexibility to link/unlink data simplifies the handling of complex assemblies.

Pros

  • Accuracy
  • CAD Integration
  • Efficiency
  • 3D Modeling
  • Speed
  • Ease of Use

SolidWorks Simulation

SolidWorks Simulation is a comprehensive suite of analysis tools integrated within the SolidWorks CAD environment, enabling engineers and designers to virtually test and validate their designs under real-world conditions. By simulating physical behaviors such as stress, strain, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics, users can identify potential issues early in the design process, reducing the need for costly physical prototypes and accelerating time to market.
