On December 13, 2021, GoEngineer announced the acquisition of the Stratasys 3D Printing Sales and Support business of Proto3000 as of October 15, 2021. In addition to supporting the sales and service needs for Proto3000 Stratasys customers, GoEngineer now provides industry-leading additive manufacturing solutions throughout Canada.
In this guide, we explain how to use layers in SOLIDWORKS drawings. In general, layers are used to control visibility, line color, thickness, and type for any of your annotations. Layers can also be used when importing or exporting .dwgs/.dxfs. When importing a .dwg, you can see all of the custom layers used in SOLIDWORKS or another 2D application.
Antenna design covers a wide range of industries. Public broadcasting (TV/Radio), military, aerospace, and nautical industries have been using antennas for decades. More recently, we have seen the emergence of antennas in devices in our homes and handheld, smart devices. Oftentimes these devices contain several different antennas for communications at different frequencies. The most obvious example is a smartphone.
One important consideration when studying a design is how natural frequencies can cause structures to undergo resonance. This effect became famous back in 1940 when the cause of the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse is still studied by many engineering schools today. Fast forward to the present, SOLIDWORKS Simulation Natural Frequency Analysis is now included as part of the Simulation Professional package. Not only will this allow designers to analyze this behavior, but the results are relatively easy to obtain.
SOLIDWORKS Routing helps automate four different types of routes, including piping, electrical, Tubing, and HVAC. Routing is included in SOLIDWORKS Premium and can be purchased as a separate add-in for Professional or Standard licenses. Piping helps create the pipes between components without having to manually create sweeps or extrudes.
Welcome to another SOLIDWORKS Mold Tools tutorial. In the previous article, we discussed Draft Analysis and Scale. In this article, we'll take a look at shut off surfaces, parting surfaces, and tooling split mold tools.
This guide will go over how to set up a Thermal Study in SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional. This tutorial will demonstrate two different examples: a steady-state thermal analysis a time-dependent study.
Is your SOLIDWORKS session cascading in upon itself and leaving you dizzy, no longer sure which way is positive Z? Or, maybe the text in your feature tree has shrunk down to the point of being illegible. Most likely, you are suffering from mishandled DPI Scaling settings.
When designing parts in SOLIDWORKS and documenting them in drawings, it is often necessary to display a company logo. Perhaps you need to put together some product reviews for marketing, maybe your drawing will be used to determine the position of screen printing on a part, or, maybe, you're just looking to spruce up your drawings with your company logo. In this article, learn three different methods for adding images and inserting logos into SOLIDWORKS parts and drawings.
