Many people don't know which version to download when entering SolidWorks , and they don't know which version of SolidWorks is better to use. In fact, choosing the version that suits you is the key. So how to choose the version? If you don't know how to choose the SOLIDWORKS version, you can refer to the following three aspects.
1. SOLIDWORKS computer configuration
First of all, different versions of SolidWorks have different requirements for computer configuration. So you need to know which version of software is suitable for your computer configuration. Among them, if you are a 32-bit system, you can only use SolidWorks2014 and previous versions. If you are using a 64-bit system, then you can further choose between all versions of SolidWorks .
2. Different functions of SOLIDWORKS
Generally speaking, the newer the software version will have more functions. However, most of the functions are just to simplify the steps of some operations. The increase of functions will also increase the cost of learning, so Zhonglian Yicheng recommends that when choosing a SOLIDWORKS version, you should choose according to your actual work needs.
3. SOLIDWORKS stability
According to the actual test of current users, the version with better stability should be SolidWorks2012 . High stability means fewer bugs, and we are not prone to crashes and flashbacks when we use it. Therefore, from the perspective of stability, and if there is no further need for use, Zhonglian Yicheng recommends choosing the version of SOLIDWORKS2012.
All in all, we only need to choose according to our own needs and preferences. Dassault will update the version every year, and the difference between the old and new versions is not very big. However, if you are a novice or an enterprise, Zhonglian Yicheng still recommends that you choose a newer version instead of an too old version, because there must be a big difference between the new version and the too old version! But if you are already using the old version of SOLIDWORKS software, you don’t need to update it every year. It mainly depends on the design requirements. After all, you need to pay for the update, but if you really need these new functions, such as 3DE’s cloud platform function, you can contact us. Local dealers, upgrade the current version.
The above is a brief introduction about which version of SolidWorks is easy to use. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact Dassault SOLIDWORKS genuine authorized agent - Zhonglian Yicheng, and we will wholeheartedly answer your questions.
