SOLIDWORKS® Simulation is an easy-to-use portfolio of structural analysis tools that use Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to predict a product’s real-world physical behavior by virtually testing CAD models. The portfolio provides linear, non-linear static and dynamic analysis capabilities.

• Finite Element Analysis (FEA),
• Solidworks Flow Simulation (CFD),
• SOLIDWORKS Plastics for injection moulding analysis.

Foster real-time collaboration and easily manage all your students and projects with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. Quickly create, review and evaluate 3D prismatic models with 3D Creator. Create organic shapes with 3D Sculptor. All on the cloud – from any device, anywhere, including Macs!

Obtaining a SOLIDWORKS certification significantly enhances your student's chances of securing a job by demonstrating a verified level of expertise and commitment to potential employers.

In today’s competitive job market, our certifications serve as tangible proof of your student's skills and knowledge, distinguishing your students from other candidates. They indicate to employers that they have undergone rigorous training and have met industry standards, which can be particularly appealing for roles requiring specialized skills.

Every institutional license includes free vouchers for the Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate Exam (CSWA) and Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional (CSWP) exams.

SOLIDWORKS is the industry standard, utilised by over 80% of top engineering schools and millions of designers globally. Proficiency in this ecosystem ensures your students are fluent in the most widely used CAD software of the Australian manufacturing, aerospace, and defence sectors.

• Workforce Readiness: Directly addresses the local skills gap by teaching the tools Australian industry actually uses.
• Global Standard: Mastery of a universal toolset that scales from local startups to multinational infrastructure projects.

SOLIDWORKS® SkillForce Program aims to provide, for FREE, SOLIDWORKS Design Premium or SOLIDWORKS Design Premium with Cloud Services licenses to student interns who have earned their SOLIDWORKS CAD Design Associate (CSWA) certification and are participating in a 3 or 6-month internship or co-op program.

The SOLIDWORKS SkillForce Program is designed for students currently enrolled in an undergraduate or higher-level program at a recognized college, technical institute or university, and have secured an internship offer with an employer. 

SOLIDWORKS Education Edition provides a complete suite of teaching resources—provide teachers with a plug-n-play complete set of classroom materials – guides, slides, assignments and more. Perfectly structured for a classroom setting, courses are broken up into several Chapters for recommended teaching, and includes an overview with suggested Course pacing.

Each Chapter includes teacher guides, lecture slides, student guides, assignments, practice exercises and more! All materials are editable PPTs to give teachers the freedom and flexibility to modify as needed.

These materials are aligned with engineering competencies and designed to streamline lesson delivery across vocational and higher‑education programs.

MySolidworks Lessons are individual learning modules consisting of explanations, videos, and quizzes to help your students learn at their own pace. Choose from hundreds of classroom ready lessons created by SOLIDWORKS experts.

Student Access licenses are FREE. Provide licenses to students for off-campus use, freeing up lab resources and allowing students to work from anywhere.

Instructors: Instructors can assign homework, prepare remotely, use licenses for distance learning or independent study students, prepare for their own certification exams, and practice SOLIDWORKS skills during school breaks.

Students: Students can work from anywhere, complete assignments during off-hours, use licenses for independent study or distance learning courses, articulate with college programs, prepare for certification exams, build personal portfolios, and participate in student competitions.
