The Complete Search is the comprehensive search form that ships with the EPDM software. This form could best be described as the “everything AND the kitchen sink” search in that it is a multi-tab form chock-full with every EPDM search method available. The problem with this search is that, for many users, it can be daunting and non-intuitive to use in practice. A few quick changes using default values can enhance its ease of use and reduce the setup time prior to each use. 

There are a couple of reasons why you may get the low resources warning in SOLIDWORKS that reads, "SOLIDWORKS has detected that your system resources are running low. It is recommended that you close some applications to free additional resources. Those reasons are low RAM and GDI objects limit. We'll dive deeper into what causes this warning here.

SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional enables us to replicate the infamous lab drop test. The idea is simple. Will your product survive if dropped on the ground? We can define the orientation that the device strikes the ground as well as the impact velocity, or initial height. Below are the steps to complete a successful drop test analysis in SOLIDWORKS Simulation.

The license scheme was changed starting with version 2010 so that, moving forward, the license software itself syncs with the SolidWorks Activation Server to directly check out the license pool for the floating network license. With this in mind, all that is needed is an installation disc (or downloaded data set) and the SolidWorks floating network serial number.

SOLIDWORKS Drawing templates contain all the document specific information that is found in the Tools > Options > Document Properties dialog (i.e. units, standard, fonts, arrow sizes, etc.). SOLIDWORKS Sheet formats contain the Title block information as well as the information from the Sheet Properties dialog.

CAMWorks uses either a hardware (USB) dongle or a Flex LM license file for licensing. This article lays out the steps to take to request and setting up a CAMWorks license file. The license request applies to both standalone and network CAMWorks licenses. The setup of the two types once the license file is received are separate processes. As a best practice, you should run the CAMWorks License Manager as administrator.
