SolidWorks is program that runs on Microsoft Windows and is actually a 3D mechanical Computer Aided Design, or put simply, a CAD program, which is very widely used by engineers and architects. You can also consider it as one of the main or the most popular product of the mechanical CAD market.
SolidWorks was introduced in 1995 and in competition to other CAD programs such as the Pro/engineer, unigraphics etc. and soon after its launch it surpassed all other competitors in the market both by quality and cost as it was not just better in its service but also much cheaper and the one thing due to which users love it is the user-friendly approach used by the company. That’s why it is used by product designers and mechanical engineers throughout the world with its user base ranging from individuals to large companies.
The SolidWorks core product includes tools for 3D modeling, assembly, drawing, sheet metal, weldments and freeform surfacing. Other attractive and useful feature is that it can import numerous file types from other 2D and 3D CAD programs. It also has an API that makes it easier for custom programming in visual basic and C. Also it is available in various editions: professional and educational, and one can choose according to his or her requirement. Moreover, it allows for the seamless integration of third-party modules out of which some are small and some are entire Computer Aided Manufacture products. That is the reason for the immense success of the program without requiring anymore explanations.
The built-in calculator feature of the SolidWorks program which is very helpful and makes it all the more convenient. Not just that, the in built calculator is very much user friendly and performs all the basic calculations serving the users and making them not bother about the minutest to the bigger calculations and even equations.
To use the Built-In calculator, simply go to the modify dialog box which appears when you double click on a dimension. Now you need not type the dimensions after solving them manually rather you can simply enter the mathematical equation in the dialog box and the in built calculator will solve it for you. Other features are that you need not give the value in decimals but it can also be in rational figures and for calculations just put the arithmetic symbols and it will follow the standard mathematical order to solve it. We can also convert the units if required and can use trigonometric equations as well provided the angles should be in radians which just requires multiplying the ordinary angles in degrees by 0.01745329 and we get the value in radians.
This program with this brilliant feature can be used by anyone, all you need is a little know-how of the feature and the simple rules which need to be followed like using parenthesis and others. Just this much of care needs to be taken and you find all your calculations related to dimensions solve just like that saving your valuable time and we all know time is money in this fast and high-tech era.
So it is simply advisable is use this program for all the more comfort and ease in your work and also do not forget to use the brilliant features included in it for a better experience like this built in calculator feature among many more
