SOLIDWORKS Xpress tools come with every seat of SOLIDWORKS and can be unlocked using a product code.
Let’s walk you through how to find SOLIDWORKS Xpress product codes in 5 simple steps.
What are the SOLIDWORKS Xpress Tools?
SOLIDWORKS isn't just used for creating 3D CAD models quickly. In fact, SOLIDWORKS offers a whole lot more than parts, assemblies, and 2D technical drawings.
Included within every license of SOLIDWORKS are five tools that introduce you to the additional capabilities of SOLIDWORKS. These tools are a great way to evaluate when you need to utilise techniques beyond 3D CAD modelling.
Each Xpress Tool in SOLIDWORKS provides additional functionality, including basic FEA and CFD simulation, design automation and sustainability tools. Watch the video to learn more about all of them.
