What are the differences between solidworks and cad
This article mainly introduces what are the differences between solidworks and cad, which can be used for reference by friends who need them. I hope you will learn a lot after reading this article. Next, let the editor take you to learn about it.
The difference between solidworks and cad: 1, AutoCAD belongs to a kind of CAD software, while SolidWorks belongs to CAD and CAE software; 2, the CAD industry is basically used to mark engineering drawings and so on, while solidworks contains the functions of CAD and has many other functions.
The difference between solidworks and CAD mainly lies in three aspects: function, scope of application and design effect.
1. Different functions
AutoCAD is a kind of CAD (computer aided Design) software, which is mainly two-dimensional graphics. SolidWorks belongs to CAD and CAE (Computational Analysis) software. By installing plug-ins, CAM (Manufacturing) function can also be realized.
2. Different scope of application
The CAD industry is basically used to mark engineering drawings and so on. Solidworks includes the functions of CAD, including 3D modeling, welding, sheet metal, stamping (plug-in), rendering, motion simulation animation, finite element analysis, engineering drawing, NC programming (plug-in) and other functions, much more than AutoCAD.
3. the design effect is different.
CAD design, can be very convenient "top-down" design, from the overall framework, sub-assembly, parts, etc., easy to operate, graphics can be modified at will, but easy to produce errors. Solidworks design is more intuitive, the scheme is easy to understand; 2D drawings are generated directly from 3D, there are no drawing errors, and the assembly can be analyzed.
Thank you for reading this article carefully. I hope it will be helpful for everyone to share the differences between solidworks and cad. At the same time, I also hope that you will support us, pay attention to the industry information channel, and find out if you encounter problems. Detailed solutions are waiting for you to learn!
