SOLIDWORKS Plastics comes pre-loaded with a wide variety of materials used for injection molding. The built-in database includes common polymers, metals, and coolants derived from data provided by different manufacturers. But what if a project in development uses a material that isn’t found in this list?
This tutorial explains how to activate or deactivate a SOLIDWORKS license from a computer not connected to the internet. A manual activation/deactivation option allows us to do this.
In SOLIDWORKS Electrical, it is important to identify components with component marks. This mark is used to create relations to other representations of the device. When a symbol is added to a Schematic or Line Diagram, we can either define it as a component already defined in the project or create a new component with a new mark (identifier). In this article, we discuss the four ways a new symbol can get its mark.
Design Studies are a tool in SOLIDWORKS Simulation that allows us to evaluate or optimize designs by seeing how they perform when selected parameters are changed. These parameters can be model dimensions, global variables, Simulation or Motion study properties, or materials applied to bodies.
In SOLIDWORKS, tables are used to annotate drawings and assemblies. Their appearance can be driven by a company standard, personal preference, or for clarifying information. A table template helps maintain consistency and avoid customizing tables for each use. Here, we will take a look at the tools available and how to use a customized table template in SOLIDWORKS.
Dassault Systémes' robust cloud compute environment can solve Abaqus simulation jobs on up to 192 cores. This cloud solver, housed on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, is fully elastic, enabling unlimited computational resources to simulation analysts. Additionally, this cloud environment offers substantial advantages to simulation users regarding cost-effectiveness and productivity. In this article, we discuss how users can run simulation jobs on the cloud with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.
As a SOLIDWORKS PDM Application Engineer, I often work with customers directly and scope their PDM upgrade efforts. During these sessions, I often hear from non-IT-focused team members, and a question that often comes up is, “How do I check the version of Microsoft SQL SOLIDWORKS PDM is using?”
There are various techniques in CATIA V5 for modeling. While there are multiple ways to achieve most model features, some methods are more efficient and stable than others. Here are my top 5 favorite tips I have picked up in my 30 years of experience using CATIA.
Personalized medicine is an emerging approach to healthcare that uses an individual's unique physical body and genetic profile to guide decisions made regarding the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. This approach is based on the understanding that each person's genes, environment, and lifestyle can influence their risk of developing a disease and their response to treatment.
