SOLIDWORKS Design
Everything you need to design, manufacture and engineer innovative products & equipment in one place.
About SOLIDWORKS
Intercad (A Division of Central Innovation) provides engineers, designers, and manufacturers with the design, simulation/verification, manufacturing, file management, data workflow, and collaboration tools they need to develop and manufacture innovative products and equipment – in one package.
All our SOLIDWORKS and data workflow solutions provide single-window, fully-associative integration across the range of SOLIDWORKS Design 3D CAD software. As a result, all your systems will work together using the same design data. Each design change, therefore, updates automatically across all applications.

SOLIDWORKS Simulation solutions
Test your designs to real world conditions, improve product quality, and reduce prototyping and physical testing costs.
The SOLIDWORKS Simulation portfolio uses the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method to predict a product’s real world physical behaviour by virtually testing CAD models.
SOLIDWORKS PDM (Product Data Management)
Manage all the information about the files and references, users and group permissions, electronic workflow processes and more from a single data management system – SOLIDWORKS PDM.
Real time updates on design changes. Save time in searching design documents. Get better control on users and permissions for data access.


SOLIDWORKS training
Get the most out of your software investment.
Upskill your team and improve the ROI on your SOLIDWORKS investment. Training that works for you – Face-to-face, Virtual or on-demand.
Ideal for businesses that design, engineer or manufacture new products.
