SolidWorks 2008 introduced a new wizard-based tool for developing rules to automate the creation of your SolidWorks designs. There are a few of these wizards in 2008, one of which I know you have heard of, COSMOSXpress. These types of wizards give us a taste of what is possible when these tools are integrated into the design process. Now let’s be honest, many of these tools may seem to be primitive but overall will be functional enough to bring some benefits to the table and if the need grows for further capabilities, full powered tools are available to meet those growing needs. DriveWorks, a UK based company, is the first rule-based engineering tool I have seen that brings the tremendous power of automation without requiring the need for advanced programming skills or in-depth training. DriveWorksXpress is a wizard-based tool that brings power and ease without “hamstringing” all the functionality.
So the question remains, “How does this compare to SolidWorks’ own design tables?” Read the rest of this entry »
