SOLIDWORKS Sustainability provides lifecycle assessment tools that measure a design’s environmental impact across material extraction, manufacturing, transport, use and end‑of‑life. It evaluates four metrics: carbon footprint, total energy consumed, air acidification and water eutrophication. Users can define materials, manufacturing locations, shipping stages, paint processes, energy usage and recyclability. The tool offers dashboards, alternative material suggestions, impact comparisons and detailed reports. Full Sustainability supports assemblies and energy‑using products, helping engineers make environmentally improved design decisions while verifying structural performance through simulation.
