SOLIDWORKS IS ALIVE
Anything that responds to your stimuli or vice-versa is living. And this is the reason that SOLIDWORKS is still evolving as a CAD/CAM/CAE solution in various industrial fields.
SOLIDWORKS is approximately is of my age, but we meet in my College days. In those days SOLIDWORKS helped me in developing my concepts in 3d …
A long journey with tremendous growth
Since 1995, every year SOLIDWORKS comes up with a major release (Currently SW 2018) that consists of enhancement and what’s new according to the technological reforms and current requirements in the industries, etc.
After the day SOLIDWORKS was taken care by DS (Dassault Systemes), SOLIDWORKS acquired much new software for its and own betterment. The parent company DS acquired Visualize, Inspection, Simulation, etc.
Every year SOLIDWORKS releases 5 service packs that include packs that update the compatibility with other software.
From all over the world SolidWorks collects the inputs as a Special purpose or enhancement request. Then accordingly, it prioritizes the enhancements that need to be added.

And this is a cumulative effort of the end-users and the SOLIDWORKS development team for evolving itself to be successful in the CAD/CAM/CAE industry. And moreover, I consider SOLIDWORKS as a family, where you can find blogs, tips & tricks, and videos all over the internet.
So if you think that there is something that needs to be added to SOLIDWORKS … I can be the mediator or you can tell SOLIDWORKS directly.
