Cooling Systems
Since SolidWorks can push hardware components to their limits, particularly when rendering large models or running simulations, efficient cooling is essential. Overheating can cause hardware to throttle performance or even damage components over time. High-performance workstations often include advanced cooling systems such as liquid cooling or custom air cooling solutions to ensure optimal temperatures, especially during long rendering sessions or heavy computational tasks.
Display and Monitors
For professionals using SolidWorks, the quality of the display is just as important as the internal components of the workstation. A high-resolution, color-accurate monitor is essential for creating detailed models and ensuring precision. Many SolidWorks users opt for ultra-wide or multi-monitor setups, which allow them to view more of the model and work more efficiently. Monitors with a high refresh rate and low response time are also beneficial for smooth navigation and interactions.
