Dassault Systèmes has unveiled SolidWorks Education Edition 2012-2013. New enhancements include tools for mechanical design, simulation, sustainable design, and cost tracking, enabling students to experience real-life engineering situations, and to compete more effectively in today’s global workplace.
Dassault Systèmes provides a comprehensive SolidWorks curriculum library with more than 20 hands-on projects for students at every level and experience. Designing and building bridges, cars, and trebuchets helps make science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fun. The latest version of the product also integrates Facebook access within SolidWorks, making it easier to collaborate. Students can now post projects on their personal pages to share with friends, or post to the SolidWorks Facebook page to share with the larger SolidWorks community.
Bertrand Sicot, CEO, SolidWorks, Dassault Systèmes said, “More than 24,000 secondary schools and universities worldwide have inspired and effectively equipped the next generation of design leaders to solve the world’s most pressing design problems with the SolidWorks Education Edition. The latest version of the software and updated curriculum helps us to provide our customers with highly trained employees who can immediately add value in collaborating on design issues, across time zones and different cultures.”
