SOLIDWORKS AI in FD03: Meet LEO, Your New Engineering Assistant<\/h2>\n

Artificial Intelligence in SOLIDWORKS continues to evolve at an impressive pace. While FD02<\/strong> introduced several AI-powered tools, FD03 changes the experience entirely by making AI conversational.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of opening separate commands or navigating multiple PropertyManagers, many of SOLIDWORKS’ newest AI capabilities are now accessed through LEO<\/strong>, the new SOLIDWORKS AI<\/a> Virtual Companion.<\/p>\n

\"Meet<\/a><\/p>\n

Think of LEO as an engineering assistant built directly into SOLIDWORKS. Rather than replacing engineers or making design decisions for you, it helps automate repetitive tasks, answer technical questions, and simplify complex workflows using natural language.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at everything that’s new in SOLIDWORKS FD03<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

LEO Is Becoming the New Way to Work in SOLIDWORKS<\/h2>\n

One trend immediately stands out in FD03.<\/p>\n

Rather than adding another collection of disconnected AI tools, Dassault Syst\u00e8mes is building a single conversational interface that ties everything together.<\/p>\n

Need to generate a macro?<\/p>\n

Ask LEO.<\/p>\n

Need to simplify an assembly?<\/p>\n

Ask LEO.<\/p>\n

Need to create a drawing?<\/p>\n

Ask LEO.<\/p>\n

\"Ask<\/a><\/p>\n

Instead of memorizing commands or digging through menus, you’re increasingly able to describe what you want using plain language.<\/p>\n

This isn’t about replacing engineering expertise. It’s about reducing the number of clicks between an idea and the result.<\/p>\n

Smarter CAD Editing with Intent to CAD<\/h2>\n

One of the biggest improvements in FD03 is the continued evolution of Intent to CAD<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The BREP to Parametric CAD<\/strong> capability introduced in FD02 is now integrated directly into LEO.<\/p>\n

Imported STEP and IGES files are often nothing more than non-parametric geometry, making them difficult to modify without manually rebuilding features.<\/p>\n

Now, simply ask LEO to convert imported geometry into an editable feature-based SOLIDWORKS model.<\/p>\n

This is particularly useful for:<\/p>\n
