Solidworks with Windows OLE technology, its operating window and Windows, therefore, its intuitive design technology, "building blocks type" of drawing, advanced parasolid kernel (provided by Cambridge), as well as good integration technology with third-party software, SolidWorks has become the world's largest installed base, the best use. SolidWorks has become the world's most installed and best-used software. According to the data, there are about 280,000 SolidWorks software licenses issued globally, involving about 31,000 companies in aerospace, locomotive, food, machinery, defense, transportation, mold and die, electronic communications, medical devices, entertainment industry, daily necessities/consumer goods, discrete manufacturing, etc. distributed in more than 100 countries around the world. In the education market, nearly 145,000 students from 4,300 educational institutions around the world go through SolidWorks training programs each year.
Pro/E is a feature-based solid modeling system that allows engineering designers to generate models using feature-based functionality with intelligent features, such as cavities, shells, chamfers, and fillets, and to sketch at will and change models easily. This functionality provides engineering designers with an unprecedented level of simplicity and flexibility in design.
Solidworks is therefore easier to learn than ProE, and easier to get started with. But Pro/E is more powerful.
