SOLIDWORKS has some awesome part modeling tools and in this blog, I’m going to share some of my favorite life pro tips which are little features that have saved me a significant amount of time. These features include tolerances for hole wizard holes, interference detection for multi-body parts, options for offset on surface and inside of trim entities

Many of us have been faced with the need to work from home and we have no choice but to find solutions to the challenges we face. If you have found yourself suddenly working remotely, we can help you access your SOLIDWORKS license regardless if it's a standalone or network license type.

In hospitals, negative pressure rooms are used to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. To illustrate the concept and effectiveness of these rooms, we’ve run some fluid and particle studies using SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation.

Have you ever attempted to perform an offset surface in SOLIDWORKS only to receive a Rebuild Errors dialog box? This error occurs because the Offset Surface tool fails when it cannot offset all the faces of a surface. Unfortunately, SOLIDWORKS 2019 and older versions can’t identify which faces are failing.

Creating a custom weldment cut list template in SOLIDWORKS is an easy process. This article will outline the necessary steps for modifying a cut list table and saving it as a template for use on drawings. 

 

This article outlines the steps required to define custom columns in a revision table that is populated by inputs from a PDM data card and actions in the PDM Workflow. To complete all these steps listed below, you will need SOLIDWORKS to create revision table templates and administrative permissions in the vault to create variables and update data cards. 

The Dynamic Design Analysis Method (DDAM) is a methodology developed by the U.S. Navy for testing shock loading from underwater explosions. Both Altair HyperWorks and SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium can test your designs using this method.

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. 

Get a glimpse of new products and functionality that are currently being developed for the SOLIDWORKS 2021 release. The following features are what’s to come.
