SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium has the ability to perform a composite analysis. Users can perform a Linear Static, Buckling or Frequency analysis with composite materials.

Many companies that use SOLIDWORKS Sheet Metal also do Progressive Bend Operations. Documenting those operations has been an issue over the years, as most folks don’t know where to go to make it work. This is addressed to some degree in our SOLIDWORKS Sheet Metal Training course. 

A breakdown of eight 3-Axis operations possible with SOLIDWORKS CAM and CAMWorks. By understanding the full range of options you can select the best operation for your project.

GoEngineer customer, Plastic Sample Kits, used SOLIDWORKS Plastics Simulation software to create an aid for choosing the best plastic for your part design.

This guide applies to anyone using a SOLIDWORKS SolidNetWork License (SNL) server to manage SOLIDWORKS licenses, and it outlines the processes returning a network license that is in a hung state and hence it cannot be returned to the server using the regular process.

DraftSight has delivered powerful 2D CAD drafting and 3D design solutions for nearly a decade. In this blog, you’ll learn the difference between DraftSight packages and we answer the burning question, “is DraftSight still free?”

A good way to simplify a large SOLIDWORKS assembly is to save it as a part. Doing so will convert the file references into multiple solid (or surface) bodies in the resulting part file’s feature tree.

This tutorial explains how to install and add new materials to the CAMWorks Material Library for feeds and speeds within CAMWorks. Gaining access to more materials than the systems default materials within CAMWorks is simple. The Tech Database makes it possible to access the Material Library and import new materials as needed. 

 

SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation Flux Plot is a result type new in the 2019 version release. It allows for the display of heat flux results between model components and project features as a network chart. The heat flux output will display the amount of heat transfer from one component to another through conduction. It will also output the thermal energy released into the fluid domain via convection and radiation.
