Purpose-Built for engineers

SOLIDWORKS AI

AI in SOLIDWORKS is an intelligent co-pilot purpose built for engineers.

Discover how SOLIDWORKS AI automates tedious tasks, speeds up large assemblies, and frees you to focus on complex engineering challenges.

AI Capabilities that Work Inside Your 3D CAD Workflow

Command Predictor

Anticipates commands that are likely to be needed next, reducing trips through menus and command search.

Generative Drawings

Automatically generate structured drawing layouts, views and dimensions.

What's Wrong Analysis

Resolve modelling errors and complete your iteration faster with natural language feedback and root-cause analysis.

Assembly Structure Generator

Generate complete structures with organised top-level assemblies, subassemblies, and components.

Auto-Fastener Recognition

Automatically detects and optimises fasteners for easy assembly.

Repair Sketch Relations

Automatically identifies broken sketch relations or dimensions and suggests intended replacements.

What is AI in SOLIDWORKS?

Intelligent CAD Built for Real-World Engineering

AI in SOLIDWORKS isn't about generating stylised imagery; it’s about eliminating repetitive friction from your engineering workflow.

SOLIDWORKS AI integrates machine learning and predictive algorithms directly into the design canvas, giving engineers smart assistance where it matters most.

Predictive Workflows

Auto-completes repetitive assembly relationships, mate selections, and sketch relations based on design history.

Design Guidance

Optimises geometry for weight, strength, and manufacturability without leaving the native CAD interface.

Automated Data Management

Uses machine learning to tag, categorise, and organise CAD assets across the 3DEXPERIENCE platform automatically.

How SOLIDWORKS AI Differs from the Competition

SOLIDWORKS AI is built on an Industry World Model specifically designed for the rigorous demands of mechanical engineering and manufacturing.

Data Security

Standard AI platforms train on public data and prompt histories.

Dassault Systèmes' Industry World Models run within secure, governed environments where customer IP is never used for external AI training.

Embedded Workflows

No switching windows or juggling separate apps.

This AI is built natively into the SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE interface and acts as a co-pilot precisely where and when you need it.

Physics-Based Reasoning

In engineering, "close enough" causes physical prototype failures.

SOLIDWORKS AI delivers outputs constrained by real-world physics, ready for simulation and manufacturing.
