Leverage the value of legacy data
  With
FeatureWorks®, sharing data between different
CAD systems is easy. The first parametric
feature recognition software for SolidWorks 3D
CAD users, FeatureWorks enables more productive
sharing of 3D models between SolidWorks and
other CAD systems.
When importing files into SolidWorks,
FeatureWorks applies intelligence to static
geometric data, recognizes it, and then readies
it for use in SolidWorks. Fine-tuning imported
designs is simple with the functionality of
SolidWorks. Imported features like holes, cuts,
and chamfers are fully editable, associative,
and parametric. You can even create new features
at any time.
FeatureWorks captures
all imported data and recognizes features from
files produced by standard translators such as
STEP, IGES®, SAT (ACIS®), VDA-FS, and Parasolid®
files. Ideal for geometrically regular parts,
FeatureWorks recognizes all these features:
 |
Extrusion features such as bosses and cuts of
the following sketch entities: lines,
circles, and circular arcs
|
|
Revolved features that are conical or
cylindrical |
|
Any standard hole types, such as simple,
tapered, and counterbored
|
|
Sheet metal features including edge flange,
sketch and bend, and base features
|
|
Random sketch patterns of features on a plane
|
|
Shell features such as uniform wall and shell
inward only |
|
Ribs and draft features
|
|
Constant and variable-radius fillets
|
| Applied features such as chamfers and fillets
