Yachts racing in the 2007 America's Cup include features designed with SolidWorks Corp. software, the Concord company noted today.

One focus of SolidWorks is 3D computer-aided design software, and the company's CAD tools were used in designing hulls, winch mounts, and other deck hardware on boats used by the Emirates Team New Zealand and by Switzerland-based Alinghi, SolidWorks said.

SolidWorks is part of Dassault Systemes S.A., a French company that develops and markets software for design, analysis, and product data management.
