SOLIDWORKS
SOLIDWORKS is the industry-standard 3D CAD solution trusted by more than 8 million engineers and designers worldwide. For over 30 years, it has helped mechanical engineers, product designers and manufacturing firms compress design cycles, control costs and deliver higher-quality products faster. SOLIDWORKS combines parametric 3D modeling, integrated simulation, product data management and direct manufacturing workflows in a single, connected environment—eliminating the need for disconnected point tools.

Creo Schematics
Creo Schematics is a comprehensive, stand-alone 2D diagramming solution for creating 2D schematic diagrams of routed systems such as cabling, piping, HVAC and hydraulic systems. The software automates the creation of detailed 3D routed system designs from existing 2D schematics within Creo Parametric and Creo Elements/Direct. This saves time, reduces errors, and eliminates tedious manual processes by correctly interpreting 2D logic and transferring it accurately into 3D.
