Bringing the Future of Design & Engineering to Chennai and Coimbatore
In an era where engineering innovation is redefining how industries design, simulate, and manufacture products, SIM Technologies once again demonstrated its leadership by hosting Innovation Day 2025 – the SOLIDWORKS 2026 Grand Launch.
With two successful and high-impact events held in Coimbatore on 08 October 2025 at O by Radha and Chennai on 16 October 2025 at Feathers Hotel, Innovation Day brought together engineering professionals, academic leaders, students, and industry experts for a full day of technology, learning, and inspiration.
This year’s Innovation Day was more than a product launch—it was a celebration of how SOLIDWORKS 2026 and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform are shaping the future of digital engineering.
A Platform for Industry, Academia, and Innovation
Innovation Day 2025 was designed to serve as a common platform where industry and academia met technology. Engineers, manufacturing professionals, design consultants, faculty members, and students came together with a shared objective—to explore how the latest advancements in SOLIDWORKS 2026 can accelerate innovation, productivity, and business growth.
With India emerging as a global hub for product design, manufacturing, and R&D, SIM Technologies ensured that users in Tamil Nadu’s two major engineering hubs—Coimbatore and Chennai—received first-hand access to the latest SOLIDWORKS roadmap and future-ready technologies.
The presence of experts from Dassault Systèmes, leading industry professionals, and academic leadership from VIT Chennai elevated the event into a truly world-class engineering forum.
Coimbatore Chief Guest – Industry Perspective on Innovation
The Coimbatore edition of Innovation Day 2025 was further elevated by the presence of Ms. Sripriya Gowrisankar from BESTEN Group of Companies, who graced the event as the Chief Guest.
In her address, Ms. Sripriya shared valuable insights on how digital engineering, smart manufacturing, and data-driven design are transforming modern enterprises. Drawing from BESTEN Group’s real-world industrial experience, she emphasized that platforms like SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE are no longer optional tools but essential engines of growth for organizations that aim to remain competitive, efficient, and globally relevant.
Her inspiring message strongly resonated with industry professionals and students alike, reinforcing how SOLIDWORKS 2026 enables companies to design faster, innovate smarter, and deliver better products to market.
Powerful Keynotes That Set the Vision
A major highlight of Innovation Day 2025 was the leadership keynote sessions delivered by Dassault Systèmes experts, industry leaders, and the Dean from VIT Chennai. These sessions focused on:
- The evolving role of AI in engineering design
- The shift towards cloud-based collaboration
- How simulation is becoming the foundation of innovation
- Preparing the next generation of engineers for Industry 4.0 and beyond
Speakers emphasized that modern engineering is no longer limited to CAD modeling alone. It now involves intelligent design, integrated simulation, data-driven decisions, and cloud collaboration—all of which are built into SOLIDWORKS 2026 and the 3DEXPERIENCE ecosystem.
SOLIDWORKS 2026 – Redefining What Engineers Can Do
At the heart of Innovation Day was the much-anticipated SOLIDWORKS 2026 Grand Launch. Attendees got a detailed look at how the newest version pushes the boundaries of what engineers can achieve.
Key Highlights of SOLIDWORKS 2026
1. AI-Driven Design Intelligence
SOLIDWORKS 2026 introduces smarter, AI-powered tools that assist engineers in:
- Predicting design errors
- Suggesting optimal geometries
- Reducing repetitive tasks
- Improving model quality automatically
This allows designers to focus more on innovation and creativity rather than manual rework.
2. Advanced Simulation Upgrades
With stronger integration of simulation tools, engineers can now:
- Test designs earlier
- Run faster FEA and CFD analyses
- Validate real-world performance in real time
This ensures better product quality, fewer failures, and faster time to market.
3. Seamless Cloud Collaboration
SOLIDWORKS 2026 is deeply integrated with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, enabling:
- Cloud-based file management
- Team collaboration across locations
- Real-time design sharing
- Secure data control
Whether teams are working from Chennai, Coimbatore, or globally, collaboration is now frictionless.
4. Faster, More Powerful Modeling
Performance enhancements allow engineers to:
- Handle larger assemblies
- Work with complex surfaces
- Experience smoother rendering and drafting
This translates into higher productivity and fewer slowdowns, even for complex industrial projects.
Live Demos, Hands-On Labs, and Real-World Use Cases
Innovation Day was designed to be highly interactive. Instead of just listening to presentations, attendees participated in:
- Live SOLIDWORKS 2026 demonstrations
- Hands-on labs
- Real customer success stories
- Technology roadmap walkthroughs
Engineers saw exactly how:
- AI simplifies modeling
- Simulation improves design decisions
