The latest version of RuleStream supports SolidWorks 2005 3D mechanical design software.

Engineers and designers use RuleStream and SolidWorks to automate complex decisions about their products so they can design better products faster and more accurately, thus lowering delivery times and speeding the quote-to-order and order-to-cash cycles.

RuleStream v5.6 is available today for purchase.

A SolidWorks Solution Partner Product, RuleStream v5.6 allows users to generate complete quotations, engineering, and manufacturing drawings and reports, all at the time of quotation.

This is possible through the product's rules-driven manufacturing and design automation capabilities.

SolidWorks 2005 expands on the software's legacy of ease of use, design power, and affordability by also providing users with comprehensive drawing tools and new productivity features that will speed the adoption of 3D design around the world.

RuleStream employs patent-pending software technology that automates complex decisions for design, quotation, and manufacturing processes.

By integrating with SolidWorks 2005, RuleStream v5.6 ensures that automated product decisions reflect a manufacturer's most up-to-date product-based intellectual property.

It also allows design and manufacturing engineers to see the impact of configuration changes on the product design in real-time.

RuleStream features a breakthrough user environment that allows subject matter experts to easily capture rules about requirements, best practices, and capabilities for engineering, manufacturing, and sales.

All the power of SolidWorks is available to the end-user through this environment.

"SolidWorks is the standard for 3D mechanical design software", said Brian Houle, Partner Programme manager for SolidWorks.

"Combining it with RuleStream gives engineers the tools they need to do their jobs faster and better by offering a unified environment for implementing design, quotation, and manufacturing automation initiatives across a product's lifecycle".
