SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual – SolidWorks has discussed this product in the past and it is now planning to officially release it in April. This product is an online cloud based tool. It is being positioned for engineers / designers to enable them to create their initial designs using this SolidWorks like design tool before creating the detailed designs in SolidWorks. Imagine you are creating a new product and need to conduct collaborative design work with the end customer, suppliers etc. With this tool the initial design can be quickly accomplished and any stakeholders can access the design over the web, comment, make changes, etc. This improvement in the collaboration environment allows for reduction in the initial conceptual design. As this is an online solution, users accessing the data will first access a company’s online dashboard that the company can set up. The site will contain pertinent information including secure communities with permissions where the SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual data is stored. SolidWorks stated that next year they plan on releasing SolidWorks Industrial Conceptual, a similar concept but in this case geared to industrial designers and engineers.
