Great video about using environment assesment in design tools like solidworks.

A good understanding of where their tool fits into the global picture. The two phases of assesment and redesign are well put, yet intergration between both is a little weak. The software doesn’t really give that bird’s eye view of the big picture, because that’s not its focus. It’s focus is much more on the shape of the object and not its function and purpose. So in the end, is this add-on good? Yes. It will help create awareness. But there are other tools much better placed to help really change the design. Not just the materials.
