- SolidWorks Sustainability Overview
SolidWorks Sustainability evaluates the environmental impact of a design throughout the life cycle of a product. You can compare results from different designs to ensure a sustainable solution for the product and the environment.
- Comparison of Sustainability Products
Two products can check the environmental impact of models - SolidWorks® SustainabilityXpress and SolidWorks® Sustainability.
- Sustainability Task Pane - Parts
When you have a part open, the Sustainablity Task Pane appears with the Material section at the top to let you begin by selecting or modifying the part's material.
- Evaluating the Environmental Impact of a Part
You can use SustainabilityXpress or Sustainability to evaluate a part. Change the materials and processes used to create the part and see the effect in the Environmental Impact dashboard of the Sustainability Task Pane.
- Adding Materials
You can access additional materials for Sustainability studies using the Sustainability Extras folder in the SolidWorks Materials dialog box.
