LCA software GaBi powers new SolidWorks 2012 - more sustainably from the start

The SolidWorks 2012 product launch includes an improved user interface with more options available to advanced users, and easy access to the latest material additions.

PE INTERNATIONAL first integrated the power of its GaBi life cycle assessment software into the product design software, SolidWorks in 2008. This sustainability add-in feature allows products to be designed more sustainably from the start.

GaBi powers two sustainability tools for different user groups.

• The SolidWorks Sustainability Xpress is included in the purchase of SolidWorks and includes real-time feedback on an environmental impact dashboard that provides the user with detailed LCA information on individual parts.

• SolidWorks Sustainability provides a complete dashboard of LCA information to determine the environmental impacts of part and assemblies.

SolidWorks 2012 - more "what if" secenarios

The SolidWorks 2012 version includes additional support for unique and custom materials, beyond the standard SolidWorks material database, enabling more "what if" scenarios.
