Has significantly improved 3D design workflows but support needs more consistency
As a reseller, I think the biggest advantage of Autodesk Fusion is its functionality, which is brilliant and offered at a really competitive price. Regarding the 360 simulation capability, it's very important for our customers, and it's important for customers to share that information with their suppliers and with customers.

Design projects have reduced maintenance costs and improved part quality for industry and personal use
Regarding Dassault SolidWorks's AI capabilities, I have not used the AI capabilities yet, but I plan to use them and provide feedback; however, I think it is a great improvement and very useful. I am looking for videos of AI capabilities of Dassault SolidWorks, and I believe it is very useful and will help me in the future, so I am very satisfied exploring the video content. My advice to others looking into using Dassault SolidWorks is that you can use it without any concerns; it is very useful and better than Fusion, Catia, and Siemens NX. I would rate this product 90 out of 100.
