Innovation in design tools continues to drive efficiency and creativity, and the latest enhancement to SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE introduces the Command Predictor. This intelligent feature leverages advanced algorithms to anticipate user needs, streamline workflows, and provide a seamless design experience. Whether you’re a seasoned CAD professional or a newcomer to the software, the Command Predictor is here to redefine how you interact with your tools.

What is the Command Predictor?

The Command Predictor is an AI-driven feature designed to anticipate the next command or tool a user might need based on their current workflow. By analyzing the context of your actions and recognizing patterns in your design process, it suggests relevant commands, helping you save time and reduce repetitive clicks.

Available in both SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE’s 3D Creator app, this feature integrates seamlessly into your design environment, providing a smarter and more intuitive way to work.

Key Benefits

1. Enhanced Productivity

The Command Predictor minimizes the need to search through menus and toolbars, enabling you to focus more on your design. By presenting the most likely next steps, it reduces cognitive load and accelerates task completion.

2. Tailored to Your Workflow

The feature adapts to your unique style and usage patterns, offering personalized
suggestions that align with your design habits.

3. Error Reduction

By suggesting the most appropriate commands, the Command Predictor helps avoid common mistakes, ensuring smoother operations and higher-quality outputs.

4. Streamlined Learning Curve

For new users, the Command Predictor serves as a guide, helping them navigate
complex workflows and discover tools they might not have known existed.

How Does It Work?

The Command Predictor uses machine learning models trained on extensive data
sets and user interactions. Here’s how it functions in practice:

1. Context Awareness: The system evaluates the design context, such as the
   geometry being worked on, the current tool in use, and the sequence of
   previous actions.
2. Pattern Recognition: By identifying common workflows and frequently used
   command sequences, it predicts the most likely next steps.
3. Dynamic Suggestions: Recommendations are displayed contextually, often
   as a floating menu or within the command manager, allowing users to select
   suggestions with a single click.

Real-World Applications

In SOLIDWORKS:

• Automatically suggest fillets after creating sharp edges.
• Recommend pattern tools after defining initial features like holes or extrusions.
• Propose mate types during assembly creation based on component alignments.

In 3D Creator:

• Offer relevant sketch tools when creating complex 3D shapes.
• Suggest constraints and relationships for parametric designs.
• Streamline the design validation process by predicting simulation tools.

Getting Started

To enable and use the Command Predictor:

1. Update Your Software: Ensure you have the latest version of SOLIDWORKS
   or 3DEXPERIENCE.
2. Activate the Feature: Navigate to the settings menu and enable the
   Command Predictor.
3. Personalize Suggestions: Spend some time working on your designs to
   allow the tool to learn and tailor recommendations.
4. Provide Feedback: As you use the feature, your interactions refine its
   accuracy and effectiveness.

What’s Next?

The Command Predictor is just the beginning of AI-powered enhancements in CAD
software. Future updates aim to deepen the integration of predictive tools, bringing
even smarter and more adaptive functionalities to your design process.
