SolidWorks, the standard in 3D mechanical design software, is in use at over 4,300 major educational institutions around the world. In addition to SolidWorks 3D solid modeling software, both the SolidWorks Research Edition and the SolidWorks Education Edition include a suite of add-on products for studying 3D design and 3D analysis.
COMSOL is your local partner for SolidWorks Education Edition and SolidWorks Research Edition in Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
Why SolidWorks?
SolidWorks Corporation recognizes that today's students are tomorrow's industry leaders. As the leader in 3D modeling software, SolidWorks is committed to providing the most innovative resources for learning and teaching CAD to students and educators, worldwide. The SolidWorks Education Program has been endorsed by global leaders in government, industry, and education. Over 75% of the world's top-ranked academic institutions have enhanced engineering graphics and CAD instruction with SolidWorks software.Teachers are busy people, and school budgets are tight.
The SolidWorks Education Edition 2007 brings the latest in 3D CAD software, COSMOS Design Analysis software, and comprehensive courseware to the modern design-engineering curriculum.
SolidWorks Education Edition
SolidWorks software is the standard in 3D design and mechanical engineering at thousands of companies, worldwide. Specific 3D CAD functionality includes advanced part, assembly and drawing development functionality including physical dynamics, surfacing, large assembly performance enhancing modes, routing and powerful drawing creation capabilities.

Three design analysis tools are now included in the SolidWorks Education Edition:
COSMOSWorks™ - FEA: finite element analysis
COSMOSMotion™ - kinematics and motion analysis
COSMOSFloWorks™ - CFD: computational fluid dynamics and thermal analysis
The SolidWorks Education Edition 2007 also includes:
SolidWorks® 3D CAD software: the standard in 3D mechanical design software
PhotoWorks™ : create photo-realistic images of SolidWorks models
SolidWorks Toolbox: automate assembly tasks with a library of standard parts
SolidWorks® Animator : create compelling AVI files from SolidWorks parts and assemblies
eDrawings Professional : Generate accurate representations of 2D and 3D models that anyone can view, mark up, and measure without having to purchase their own markup tools
FeatureWorks : Simplify the reuse of 3D CAD data-created in varied file formats
SolidWorks Utilities : analyze designs and compare different versions of a design
3D Instant Website : quickly make a website featuring your design
DWGeditor™ : Edit and create native DWG drawings using DWGeditor installed inside SolidWorks—users familiar with AutoCAD® will find the
user interface very familiar.
MoldflowXpress™ : Unique to SolidWorks, this provides an introductory mold filling analysis tool to assist plastic part designers to develop parts that can be molded easily and cost effectively.
PDMWorks : Minimize errors and duplicated efforts by capturing file revision histories automatically. Access desired files, determine who has worked on them, and see exactly when changes were made.
