: You can now define conditions based on child file states to control the transition of parent files [22]. 5. Collaboration and Compatibility
The new also assists by verifying material definitions and checking if you have sufficient storage for results before you hit "solve" [11]. 4. Integrated Data Management (PDM) Solidworks Pre-mium 2020
SOLIDWORKS Premium includes PDM Standard , which provides foundational version control for small teams [20, 22]. Key 2020 improvements include: : You can now define conditions based on
The Premium edition is known for its integrated simulation. A major 2020 update is the Hybrid Mesh capability [6]. This allows you to assign different mesh qualities— for faster solve times or High Quality for critical stress areas—within the same study [6, 9]. A major 2020 update is the Hybrid Mesh capability [6]
: The PropertyManager offers detailed previews, allowing you to see the impact of angle changes before finalizing the feature [1, 15]. 3. Smarter Simulation and Validation
A critical step in designing parts for molding or casting is applying draft angles. In SOLIDWORKS 2020, the Draft tool is highly versatile:
