SolidWorks 2011 promises to have better performance and reliability\u00a0in a few\u00a0areas.\u00a0 This is a topic that sometimes is not well represented in the What’s New file that are included with SolidWorks products.\u00a0 However, the improvements are still very important.<\/p>\n
One area of improvement is\u00a0better memory management.\u00a0 Previous versions tend to eat up more memory as a SolidWorks session\u00a0remains open and active in Windows.\u00a0 Though this tendency is not completely gone, SolidWorks 2011 is reported to be better at\u00a0releasing memory when closing or suppressing parts and files.\u00a0\u00a0According to Jeremy Regnerus of SolidWorks Corp, users should be able to keep SolidWorks 2011 open longer and with more stability than previous versions.\u00a0 Generally speaking, SolidWorks seems to have taken major strides in stability over the past couple of years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To to a better job of tracking issues when they do arise (such as crashes), performance logs will now be more comprehensive to give SolidWorks support better information to determine the cause of the problem.<\/p>\n
Regnerus also brags about improvements to SolidWorks Simulation performance.\u00a0 He stated that users should see a 20% faster solve time with 15 to 20% fewer number of equations.\u00a0 Additionally, multicore CPU use\u00a0will allow Simulation to run single simulations much faster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
