It can be extremely time-consuming (and sometimes frustrating) testing and retesting designs, whether your goal is mass reduction, flow maximization, temperature control, or other variables. The more design variations you create and test—intelligently— the greater your chances of finding the best design.

One of the most frequently asked questions from Flow Simulation users is, will my electronics product overheat under normal and everyday conditions? SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation software is specifically suited to answer this question. So if you currently own SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation software, or are considering purchasing a new license below are the differences between regular Flow Simulation and the Electronics Cooling Module add-in.

 

Welcome to another installment of our Ultimate Guide to SOLIDWORKS Training series. This time around, we are walking you through the entirety of the SOLIDWORKS Drawings course, answering any questions that may arise so you know exactly what to expect.

For anyone who may be unaware, the annual AMUG (Additive Manufacturing User Group) Conference is the premier gathering for additive manufacturing system users around the globe.This year Stratasys (who is a platinum sponsor for the event) used the opportunity to make all their H1 2019 new product announcements – which includes some bold new things you need to hear about.

This blog shares step-by-step instructions for how to create a Threadmill feature for straight and tapered threads in CAMWorks.

With all of the SOLIDWORK Training Classes available at GoEngineer, we instructors tend to accumulate many training manuals.The spiral-bound manuals in my library shelves stack fine, though I find myself pulling several manuals until I find the one I am looking for. I decided that I needed to come up with a way to label these manuals so they can be easily identified.

Many of my coworkers are into drones, and they talked me into buying one. Once I got my drone, I noticed that the propellers are not protected as you’ll see in the image below. I don’t trust myself to not bump into objects and tear or break the props, or both. So, I decided to 3D print a prop guard to give myself some peace of mind.

There's no single right way to do anything in SOLIDWORKS. For example, think about how to make a cube. You could use a center profile square and extrude it. You could also create a cube without using a sketch at all. Let's go through the different ways to make a cube, both hollow and solid, in SOLIDWORKS.

Sometimes you will find yourself in a situation where you need to create an extrude-cut on a curved surface. People new to SOLIDWORKS get freaked out just at the thought of tackling such a complex endeavor, but it's not as difficult as it seems. This tutorial will walk you through step-by-step the process of how to create an extrude-cut on a curved surface in SOLIDWORKS and offer a few quick tips along the way.
