New to SOLIDWORKS Design 2026 FD02 is the ability to ask questions about your assembly and get AI-powered analysis that identifies specific performance issues and recommends targeted improvements. This gives you actionable insights without manually diagnosing large, complex assembly datasets. Understand the full impact of a design change before you make it with SOLIDWORKS Design 2026 FD02. AI-powered analysis identifies which parts, assemblies and downstream dependencies are affected and who is impacted, so teams can assess risk earlier, avoid unintended disruptions and commit to changes with greater confidence. Building on technology introduced in SOLIDWORKS Design FD01, you can now take greater control over auto-generated drawings, such as customizing drawing tables through text prompts. A new button in the Auto-Generate Drawing Property Manager provides direct access to the drawing creation skill, allowing you to customize your auto-generated drawing through natural text conversation. We can keep large assemblies running smoothly with automatic thread suppression suggestions from the in-context performance assistant. When you insert fasteners with fully modeled 3D threads, the assistant prompts you to suppress them before they impact performance, with the option to ignore or disable the message if you prefer to manage this manually. This enhancement, although relatively simple, can lead to significant downstream performance impacts, particularly in large assemblies where dozens or hundreds of threaded components accumulate unnoticed. Reduce repetitive manual effort and save time when assigning and updating material appearances across assemblies. Simple prompts enable intelligent application and updates while maintaining visual consistency. We can access revision history, maturity state, ownership, related files and change actions for any model through a conversational AI interface without navigating complex PLM menus.
