Design Phase: Engineers use AutoCAD to create detailed 2D drawings that outline the basic geometry and dimensions of a new part.
Modeling Phase: These 2D drawings are then imported into SolidWorks to create a 3D model. This model can be manipulated to see how the part will look and fit in real life.
Simulation and Testing: SolidWorks' simulation capabilities are utilized to test the part under various stress conditions, ensuring it will perform reliably when used.
Prototyping: Once the design is finalized in SolidWorks, a prototype can be produced and tested in real-world conditions.
Production: After successful testing, the final design is used to create production-ready parts, ensuring they meet all specifications and quality standards.
