Are you headed to Dallas for 3DEXPERIENCE World 2024? We hope we’ll see you there! Here’s everything GoEngineer will be up to all week: our Customer Party, more than a dozen technical presentations, and more!
In this SOLIDWORKS tutorial, we demonstrate how to create indents at the assembly level. In this example, we have an assembly of a plate and three pieces that intersect with the plate. The goal is to change the geometry of the plate to encompass the three pieces on the bottom. To do this, we'll use the Indent feature.
Reverse engineering is a useful approach for creating customized sports equipment and tailoring products to athletes' specific needs and preferences. For example, customized weight distribution and curvature of a golf club could be the competitive edge an athlete needs. In this article, we discuss a few engineering tools and the reverse engineering workflow to quickly create customized sporting equipment.
Every file saved to the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform has a file history that can be accessed and saved to PDF. This history includes the user who made the change, the action taken, the maturity state of the file, and a description of the action. In this tutorial, we go over the steps for obtaining file history.
SOLIDWORKS recently changed how often you must reactivate the software. Previously, you would activate a license, and depending on the license type, it wouldn’t require reactivation and wouldn't expire. So, why are you receiving this message and how do you fix it?
If you start to encounter DraftSight performance-related issues like crashing, hanging, graphics issues, etc., here are some key questions to ask and address. This article includes troubleshooting suggestions for Windows 7 compatibility Mode, Default Settings, Display Adapter tests, and more.
The GoEngineer blog shared hundreds of tutorials, tips, tricks, product guides, and industry news articles developed by our team of technical experts this year. In case you missed any, here are the top 10 SOLIDWORKS tutorials from 2023.
When working with multibody parts in SOLIDWORKS, there are times when the models will have unwanted overlaps. In this example, we have a part inserted into another part where there is some overlap between the bodies. The goal is to remove the overlap section from the main body while keeping the second body. A couple of features we can use to accomplish this are Combine/Subract and Indent Cut.
Since I started beekeeping, I've always wondered what happens during the winter. How do the bees stay warm? In this article, we use SOLIDWORKS to perform a thermal and flow simulation to analyze how much energy bees use to maintain the temperature they need to survive.
