Which AI features are in SOLIDWORKS and CATIA in 2026? The short answer<\/h2>\n

In 2026, SOLIDWORKS and CATIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform will integrate AI assistants directly into the interface: AURA, which anticipates the next command and automates repetitive tasks, and LEO, the platform\u2019s assistant; MARIE is introduced with SOLIDWORKS 2026 SP1. In practice, the AI generates drawings from the 3D model, reduces the need to manually apply constraints in assemblies, and, in CATIA, explores shapes using generative design. Ohmycad, an official Dassault Syst\u00e8mes reseller, installs these versions and trains teams on how to use them.<\/p>\n

The prices for plans that include these assistants are listed on the SOLIDWORKS Official Price List<\/a> ; to choose between the two programs, see Our CATIA vs. SOLIDWORKS Comparison<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

AI & CAD: What SOLIDWORKS and CATIA Are Changing for Designers.<\/h2>\n

Artificial intelligence is no longer a \u201cplus\u201d in CAD: it's a new standard for productivity and quality. On the Dassault Syst\u00e8mes side, SOLIDWORKS<\/a><\/strong> and CATIA<\/strong> are being enhanced with generative assistants and features that are revolutionizing design, drafting, assembly, and collaboration. Here\u2019s a practical overview, guided by our core belief: for small and medium-sized businesses, mid-sized companies, and startups, SOLIDWORKS + 3DEXPERIENCE<\/strong> and CATIA<\/strong> currently offer the best balance of speed, accuracy, and product governance.<\/p>\n

SOLIDWORKS Aura: The AI assistant that predicts your intentions.<\/h2>\n

At the workstation level, AI reduces friction: timely command suggestions, automatic generation of 2D sketches and drawings from 3D, and assembly assistance that limits constraint and orientation errors. These are not gimmicks: they are minutes saved with every action, which become hours on a project, then weeks on a product portfolio. At the last 3DEXPERIENCE World, SOLIDWORKS presented AI capabilities<\/strong> of this type, and an assistant named SOLIDWORKS AURA<\/strong><\/a>(in beta) aimed at predicting user intent and automating repetitive tasks.<\/p>\n

Why industrial startups need to adopt AI-assisted CAD.<\/h2>\n
