New to SOLIDWORKS 2024 is the ability to make multibody parts from assemblies. While saving an assembly as a part has always existed, a new tool provides additional options. In this guide, we’ll compare the differences between these two methods.
Simulation becomes more important by the day for competitive product innovation, but it comes at a cost. Can you do a more sophisticated simulation while keeping the budget under control? The answer is “yes” thanks to a new type of universal licensing and cloud compute for Abaqus, CST Studio Suite, and the other SIMULIA and 3DEXPERIENCE SIMULATION tools.
McMaster-Carr is one of the most popular hardware suppliers known for its extensive catalog and readily available CAD models, which have made both sourcing and design very convenient for engineers. This convenience is further enhanced by the McMaster-Carr add-in for SOLIDWORKS, a free tool that helps users seamlessly add components to their designs. In this blog, we will cover how to use this add-in to save time in design and data management.
In a previous blog, we discussed how to access the history of a file in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform using the Collaboration & Approvals app. Until the April 2024 FD2.0 update, this was the only way to see this information on a file. It's now even easier to view these details (and with a lot more information) with the new History tab in the information window.
Implementing an engineering change process in SOLIDWORKS PDM only takes a few steps. In this article, we'll walk you through the typical changes we would make to a design workflow. Then, we'll talk about the ECO process we've crafted in our workflows. Finally, we'll dive into how we're using templates and references to tie everything together.
In SOLIDWORKS, a Sheet Metal Sketched Bend is a method of adding a bend to a sheet metal part relative to a line in a special sketch. This special sketch is created within the Sketched Bend command.
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation features several easy-to-use results analysis tools that make understanding and analyzing results more convenient. You can find these tools in a few different locations. The two options below are the most common, other than finding them in the Flow Simulation tab in the CommandManager.
