Hi all – read all about it. SolidWorks 2012, the 20th release of the software, announced today. We can’t wait to show it to you at our launch events. Some very nice comments and videos from customers.

Permasteelisa, a long-time customer of Symmetry Solutions, and world leader in curtain wall design, production, and installation,  played a large part in engineering the design of Beekman Tower, New York’s tallest residential high-rise.  The 76-story lower-Manhattan tower, designed by Frank Gehry, is 867 feet high. It includes highly-shaped curved steel surfaces that create a unique ripple effect. Permasteelisa’s virtual construction and precise 3D-models created using SolidWorks played an integral part in the successful completion of this impressive building. For more details on how this project came together, you can view a video here.

I continue to be amazed at how our customers push the envelope and solve problems around the world. In this case JetEdge Inc contributed to the stopping of the BP well by removing ice crystals from a containment cap.

Well done folks! Read more here…
