SOLIDWORKS Design Tables allow you to quickly build and manipulate Part and Assembly Feature parameters in different configurations using an embedded Microsoft Excel worksheet. Note: To use Design Tables, you must have Microsoft Excel installed on your computer.
In SOLIDWORKS PDM, folders are used to group files in a meaningful way. For example, files unique to a project might be saved in a folder for that project. It might be useful to have the project the file belongs to as one of its properties. On a drawing, this property can be displayed on the face of the drawing.
In this guide, we explain how to repair broken references in SOLIDWORKS drawings and assemblies. Many of us have had a SOLIDWORKS drawing open where the part file is not shown in the drawing views. This happens when the part file cannot be found.
The release of SOLIDWORKS 2018 added a great sheet metal feature called Tab and Slot. Tabs and slots can be added to adjoining components to create an interlock between them. The feature can be added to a multibody part or an assembly. Using SOLIDWORKS Tab and Slot for sheet metal assemblies is a great way to avoid making fixtures that hold the parts together during fabrication.
In this guide, we review how SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation can simulate the transient pressure pulse on a design where a fluid is allowed to enter and exit at different intervals. By setting up this study, we’ll review the time-dependent functionality where we can control the different areas of the fluid travel through a system caused by a pressure drop.
SOLIDWORKS just announced updates to licensing costs that will go into effect April 1st, 2022. Learn what they are and get answers to your questions here.
Routing is an application included in SOLIDWORKS Premium that helps automate different types of routes, including electrical. Included in SOLIDWORKS is an extensive library of intelligent components you can drag and drop into your route. This default library is called the Design Library.
SOLIDWORKS Electrical includes a wide variety of symbols predefined in the Symbol Library. However, there are times when you need something just a bit different. The easiest way to create a new symbol in SOLIDWORKS Electrical is to start with an existing symbol, make a copy, then edit the new symbol to match your needs.
SOLIDWORKS Mirror Entities and Dynamic Mirror Entities are two excellent tools for mirroring 2D sketches. Mirror Entities allows a user to mirror their sketches about a common centerline after the sketch has been created. With Dynamic Mirror Entities, geometry can be sketched and mirrored simultaneously.
