SOLIDWORKS
SolidWorks is the Dassault Systèmes 3D mechanical CAD platform dominant in US battery manufacturing — used for pack enclosure design, fixture design for cell-tab welding, BMS PCB carriers, and the broad mechanical work of factory tooling. As a hard skill it requires fluency in parametric part and assembly modeling, drawing generation to ASME Y14.5, sheet-metal and weldment environments, and the PDM disciplines (PDM Standard or Professional) that keep revisions clean across engineering teams. Mechanical designers apply this when iterating a battery pack enclosure for a new vehicle program, when generating shop drawings for a stamped current collector, and when running interference and tolerance studies on a multi-cell module assembly.
