When you open a complex imported file, SOLIDWORKS spends half of the loading time on appearances.<\/p>\n

That means it’s critical that you clean up imported files first.<\/p>\n

But they don’t tell you that in engineering school.<\/p>\n

Don’t just build geometry, understand what SOLIDWORKS is doing<\/h3>\n

Every single month, over 1000 people read our article about fixing the performance of slow drawings.<\/p>\n

That means those engineers are likely spending hours a week staring at a loading screen.<\/p>\n

I wanted to help them, and you.<\/p>\n

Secrets to SOLIDWORKS Performance<\/h3>\n

I decided to do a deep dive into SOLIDWORKS performance. So I spent 200 hours reading every blog post and official help article about performance and fixing slow models in SOLIDWORKS. I watched every video I could find.<\/p>\n

Then, I wrote all of this knowledge down, grouped it into eight parts and, with the help of a designer and an editor, published this 127-page ebook:<\/p>\n

\"solidworks<\/a><\/p>\n

My goal with this ebook is to teach engineers what goes on under the hood of SOLIDWORKS. Why one model loads a hundred times faster than another model with the same geometry.<\/p>\n

I got a part to rebuild in 293 seconds, 92 seconds and 2.9 seconds. All three parts had identical geometry in the end.<\/p>\n

We (my designer, my editor and I) also created three helpful cheat sheets that you can use as a quick reference.<\/p>\n

What’s in the ebook?<\/h2>\n

Part 1: Introduction<\/h3>\n

I share my approach to understanding and researching performance. I talk about my background and what I do for a living.<\/p>\n

Part 2: How to improve…<\/h3>\n

This part gives an overview of five topics that most engineers struggle with:<\/p>\n
