SOLIDWORKS in the Alternative energy industry.
The challenge:
Today’s alternative energy providers face special challenges. As regulations continue to evolve, the need to reduce manufacturing costs and speed design cycle-time increases. New technologies need to push the envelope while staying safe and reliable.
The solution:
SOLIDWORKS 3D development solutions enable designers in emerging energy fields to quickly experiment with new and different ideas, speed up prototyping, and simulate varying environmental conditions to verify new approaches.

Work faster
Industry leading ease-of-use helps you complete bespoke designs quicker than ever before.
Re-use designs
Produce variations of previous design work from existing 2D drawings and 3D models.
Component library
The SOLIDWORKS Design library provides commonly used parts like nuts, bolts and fasteners.
Validation tools
Now you can identify and fix problems while you design and before your machine is even built.
Flexible solution
Easily link to Computer-Aided Manufacture (CAM) and create a bill of materials for assembly and testing.
Communication
SOLIDWORKS can utilise your 3D assembly models to quickly create professional project documentation.
Simulate
With SOLIDWORKS Simulation, you can determine how components behave under operation, thereby avoiding field failures.
Motion
SOLIDWORKS Motion allows you to fully understand the kinematics and dynamics of the design.
Sheet metal
Designing sheet metal components is simple – design your part in 3D and with one click, create a flat pattern.
Customer success story: Sustainable OneWorld Technologies C.I.C.
Dr. John Mullett has spent his working life in the organic waste industry, having achieved his PhD investigating the effects of oil pollution on algae, he continued in the algae field investigating the commercial uses for seaweed. John has extensive experience in organic waste treatment industry within the UK and Internationally.
Commenting on the benefits of SOLIDWORKS, John said “The software is fantastic, but useless without support. Without a shadow of doubt, I would not have been able to create the Flexigester without the Innova Systems Technical Support Team.”
SOLIDWORKS success story: BigBelly
It’s an unsightly spectacle that’s all-too familiar, bins overflowing with rubbish, littering the landscape from city streets to local beaches with mountains of plastic bottles, newspapers, take-away meal containers and everything in between.
Innovative company, BigBelly, used SOLIDWORKS to develop an innovative, smart, connected solution to this problem – The BigBelly Solar Trash Compactor.
