The new eAssistant CAD plugin for SolidWorks 2009 allows a bidirectional connection between the calculation software for machine elements and the 3D CAD system. In addition to the basic features (e.g., start of the calculation from SolidWorks, creation of 3D models based on the calculation and opening the calculation information from the 3D model), the new plugin is now bidirectional which means that 3D models, calculated with the eAssistant and generated with the plugin, can be updated after changing the calculation.
