This tutorial demonstrates how to create a product-specific admin image in SOLIDWORKS that needs to be added to a SOLIDWORKS installation. This can also be used to install a product for a user that only needs the specific product, and not the entire installation.

SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation can adapt the computational mesh to the solution during the calculation. The software splits the mesh cells into the high-gradient flow regions and merges the cells in the low-gradient flow regions. This ensures better accuracy during the calculation. The mesh starts from an initial state and is modified during the calculation based on user-defined settings.

This tutorial explains how to edit flattened harness routes in SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D. Flattened representations of a SOLIDWORKS harness can be difficult to read in its default state. With the 'Edit Flattened Route' command, a high-quality representation of the flattened route can be created with ease.

This article describes one method to insert a multi-pin connector in SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematics. The first step is to create the connector in either the component tree or by placing a connector pin symbol on a scheme page in your project. This set of images shows how to insert a component through the Component tree.
