Demo
SOLIDWORKS design automation demo: flat bed trailer
A gooseneck flat bed trailer configured directly inside SOLIDWORKS. The configurator panel in the SOLIDWORKS task pane is Tacton Design Automation, and the configuration model behind it is built in Tacton Design Studio, where all the constraints are defined. Every change to the input regenerates the trailer without anyone redrawing it.
What the demo shows
- A configurator panel inside SOLIDWORKS with the trailer’s main parameters
- The trailer regenerating as the inputs change, including the number of axles and the overall length
- The deck being added to the finished frame
- The assembly tree updating with the parts that belong to the chosen variant
A new trailer variant becomes a matter of answering the configurator rather than a new design job. The rules the engineers would otherwise apply by hand sit in the configuration model and are applied the same way every time.

We can set up a demo like this on one of your own products, so you can see how your rules and variants would work in a configurator. Book a meeting and tell us about the product.
