SPECapc™ for SOLIDWORKS™ 2021 benchmark
The SPECapc™ for SOLIDWORKS™ 2021 benchmark, released on March 9, 2021, is performance evaluation software for vendors and users of computing systems running SOLIDWORKS 2021 CAD/CAM software on Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit platforms.
Major new features in the new SPECapc for SOLIDWORKS 2021 benchmark include:
- Testing under the SOLIDWORKS 2021 enhanced graphics interface.
- Two CPU tests for file conversion and simulation.
- Tests that exercise the 2D drafting mode within SOLIDWORKS.
The SPECapc for Solidworks 2021 benchmark is free for everyone but sellers of computers and related products that are not SPEC/GWPG members; these sellers are required to purchase a $2,500 vendor license.
The SPECapc for SOLIDWORKS 2021 benchmark includes 10 models and 50 tests exercising a full range of graphics and CPU functionality. Model sizes range from 392 MB to 2.3 GB in memory. The following models are included in the benchmark:
- Audi R8 (car) — 715 MB in memory, exercising graphics and Visualize CPU ray tracing
- Black owl (desktop computer) — 1.15 GB in memory, exercising graphics and Visualize CPU ray tracing
- Digger (backhoe) — 464 MB in memory, exercising graphics and Visualize CPU ray tracing
- Ferrari (car) — 533 MB in memory, exercising graphics and Visualize CPU ray tracing
- Jet engine — 665 MB in memory, exercising graphics and Visualize CPU ray tracing
- Menjac (motor assembly) — 514 MB in memory, exercising graphics
- Motor — 392 MB in memory, exercising graphics
- SpaceShipCrawler (NASA Crawler Transporter Model*) — 2.3 GB in memory, exercising graphics
- Super car (gullwing door) — 822 MB in memory, exercising graphics
- Tesla tower — 495 MB in memory, exercising graphics

Benchmark system requirements
- Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS 2021 Service Pack 1 or greater, fully licensed
- SOLIDWORKS 2021 Visualize must be installed for CPU tests
- A license capable of running simulation is required for CPU tests
- Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit
- Windows Display scaling set to 100%
- Minimum 1920 x 1080 display resolution
- Minimum 16GB of system memory
- Graphics hardware that fully supports SOLIDWORKS RealView, ambient occlusion and OIT transparency. Note: SOLIDWORKS 2021 does not support OIT transparency for all graphics hardware, and will instead use an older style transparency. Non-compliant results cannot be compared to compliant results using OIT.
