Why is Your SOLIDWORKS Assembly Slow?

Have you ever worked on an assembly and it feels like it takes forever? Us too. So, we took a look at a few tools in SOLIDWORKS that will help you get faster SOLIDWORKS Assemblies.
First, we'll use the Assembly Visualization to understand where our assembly is having trouble. We can see the number of graphics triangles for each model, which directly correlates with the loading speed. Then, we'll show you how to lower that number and increase your performance.
Next, we talk about best practices for models, including your fasteners. Fasteners are important to any design, but modeling threads creates unneeded stress on your system. Cosmetic Threads provide a visual component to your fasteners while keeping the number of triangles down for your assembly.
Our top tips for your SOLIDWORKS Assembly Performance are sure to improve your loading speeds.
