This is a key area where Onshape beats a straight-on CAD solution for meeting a company’s full product design requirements.
These project-management-like analytics are usually part of a separate PDM solution rather than CAD. It presents insights in easy to understand dashboards that provide comprehensive overviews of project status and stage in the product development cycle. It also tracks every interaction with your company’s data so you can monitor all design activity, whether internal or external. Onshape also includes structural analysis in its CAD capabilities and enables design alternatives that can be branched and merged at any point. It delivers solutions for linear, non-linear, static, and dynamic analysis including topology optimization, fatigue predictions, and much more. Solidworks includes Simulation Datasheet, a collection of algorithms to perform Finite Element Analysis using CAD models to test and predict a product’s real-world behavior. Onshape vs Solidworks: Feature Breakdown Built-in Analytics and PDM
If your company is looking for a complete solution, this comparison of PTC’s Onshape vs Solidworks from Dassault Systèmes is here to help. That can be an expensive and complex undertaking as the company tries to integrate the disparate systems and work through overlapping processes. When companies look for a solution to manage their product development process, they often end up with separate products for CAD, data management, analytics, and team collaboration. They did that and sent back Rev 2, functionally it was not much different but user wise it was a world of difference.Product development is a complex process and reaches into many departments and areas of expertise in any organization. Wherever she struggled fix it till she doesn't need your help, to pick up your program and do the tasks I have in my requirements. I told them whatever they came up with, stick her in front of the computer when they were done programming and watch her use the tool. I sent them back and told them when I visited they had a really nice receptionist that I met. In a previous job I oversaw a development of a little bit of custom software, when it came in the door from the development company it was awful and I couldn't get it to work, I called in their vendor and they watched me struggle with it, then they took over and showed me how well it worked. This has been such a problem that I usually just go off an use another tool to do the job. I have been playing with it a bit on and off since I came here but I always seem to stumble on something that hangs me up for several hours and doesn't happen when using their competitor's products. ProE needs to hire some of them! Hopefully Creo will be much better but I am not holding my breath.Īnyone here ever used PTC's Mathcad? another awesome idea by PTC, second to nothing when it actually works, but once again on a human factors side full of quirks. I never realized it till I worked in aerospace but there are actually people called "Human factors engineers" who sit there and figure out where is it best to put buttons, tools etc.
I want to go from a radius to a diameter, in inventor you left click and the pull down choice is right there, in ProE if you don't know any better you must spend 20minutes searching around Google and web forums to figure it out! Simple stuff like dimensioning a part in their drawing mode. In general one is probably best off waiting for a good PTC competitor to come by and improve on whatever they don't have locked up in patents. My take on PTC in general and all their products for that matter is they come up with great ideas, usually first on the scene but they seem to have little regard whatsoever for human factors! As a result unless you are using their stuff 8-10hrs a day and get really good at working around their quirks it is a really costly thing to bring to your company with a staggeringly high learning curve. On the other hand ProE is a major pain to get started with. A person really doesn't need much training to hop onto Inventor or for my understanding Solidworks. On my home computer I had both ProE and Inventor to play around with for hobby purposes and Inventor won hands down and was all I used when given a choice. I learned in college on ProE, then worked in a job where I wasn't doing 3D cad for a while. Where I now work we are all a PTC company, just about to switch from wildfire over to Creo pretty soon.
