A basic app to get you started CADing while on the go. Another CAD version of developed by the parent company Dassault Systems built for mobile devices purchasable for the price of USD 1.99, yes you read that correct.
Solidworks network license cost license#
Just for reference: Package Category License (~USD) Subscription (~USD) SOLIDWORKS Premium DD $8,000 $2,000 SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium DV $10,000 $4,000 SOLIDWORKS Plastics Premium DV $22,000 $5,000 SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional CAD Editor DC $2,000 $1,000 SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional Viewer DC $3,000 $1,000Īs far as students are concerned, the SolidWorks student edition gets you started off with as low as USD 200, moving north from there for any packages and services that you may want included. Hence the price range of USD 8,000 to USD 30,000 can get you design validation as well as the capability to design, with your choice of simulation environment.Īs for the design cataloging and documenting is concerned, a single, stand-alone viewer is around USD 3,000 whereas the editor is for North of USD 2,500. The plastics suite’s simulation license and subscriptions can touch USD 30,000. This price range includes one of either the “Simulation” and “Flow simulation” (for fluids and fluid dynamics) but not the “Plastics” suite. Think about USD 10,000 and you should do just fine.įor design validation, and again the premium suite, the license is for North of USD 10,000 and the license is almost double. A yearly subscription (and before you ask, a subscription service entitles you to version upgrades, service packs, online customer portal access to SolidWorks, as well as the technical support) for technical training and spot-on resource center support, costs somewhere about USD 2,000, but that’s nothing really if you want the last drop of juice out the earlier $8000. For a premium license of the design development category one should think about USD 8,000 with unannounced fluctuations coming and going. Dassault Systems, the parent company of SolidWorks has made available a host of other technologies allowing you to extend SolidWorks capability. Technical communication, and other technologies are also available as add-ons and all categories have a further division of three for Premium, Professional and Standard. For cost comparison purposes I’m choosing “Design development” (or DD), “Design validation” (or DV) & “Design cataloging” (or “DC”).
