The webinar introduces design automation in SOLIDWORKS, focusing on configurations, global variables, equations, linked files, design tables, macros, and DriveWorks Express. Configurations allow multiple design variations within a single document, while global variables and equations enable intelligent relationships and external file linking for dynamic updates. Design tables in Excel provide a powerful way to manage variants, and macros leverage the SOLIDWORKS API for automation. DriveWorks Express, included with all SOLIDWORKS licences, uses rule-based automation to quickly create customised designs, reducing repetitive tasks and errors. It is ideal for projects that are “same but different,” improving efficiency and saving engineering time.
