Having trouble getting your high-pressure die casting simulation to mesh in Altair Inspire Cast? The problem may be in long, thin geometric features.

In this blog, we’re discussing how to choose the right size element for your simulation. This is a common question that comes up when running simulations in Altair Inspire Cast, and there is one rule that applies when trying to size your elements.

Having porosity issues with your casting? The answer to that question is “yes” 99% of the time it’s asked – so you’re not alone! Altair Inspire Cast has some excellent tools to help you diagnose and correct these defects.

With the release of SOLIDWORKS 2019, a new option called ‘Include specified components’ has been added for saving an assembly as a part. Formerly, when saving an assembly as a part, the only options available were to Include all components, Exterior components, or Exterior faces. This new option now allows the user to specify which components are included in, or excluded from, the SLDPRT.

In this SOLIDWORKS Electrical tutorial, I’ll share a few items to keep in mind when routing wires that will make the task easier. Let’s look into SOLIDWORKS Schematic and SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D for these key tips!

Conditional notifications allow PDM admins to set up notifications that only send when they meet a specified criteria. Explore use cases in this guide. There are several scenarios to consider.

A successful fatigue analysis can be performed in seven steps. In this blog, we’re going to break down each of those steps. Fatigue is a phenomenon that is observed when repeated loading and unloading weakens an object over time, even when the induced stresses are considerably less than the allowable stress limits. Setting up a fatigue analysis in SOLIDWORKS Simulation will allow us to determine whether a product will be able to withstand usage requirements over a period of time and not just if the product will hold up a single specified load environment.

Hyper Threading is a technology developed by Intel® that enables a computer’s CPU to execute multiple streams of instructions at the same time. Hyper threading can significantly improve performance for some tasks, but it can also be detrimental to others.

Thank you for returning to my Kinetic art project series. Today’s blog article is focused on creating a worm gear. If you missed Part 1 and 2, you will find the links at the bottom of this post.
