SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2024 has some new capabilities that really boost productivity. This article offers a sneak peek at some of our favorite new features. Flow Simulation users can now import and export component lists from Excel.

SOLIDWORKS CAD Oct 26, 2023

SOLIDWORKS 2024 introduces some new updates to Structure Systems. After creating all primary and secondary members, the Corner Management dialog offers some technical and UI enhancements. Users can now automatically apply corner grouping at the start of the Corner Management dialog and select a base plane for reference. 

When working with SOLIDWORKS drawing views, it is possible to customize them in various ways. Sometimes, it is necessary to label each view to indicate the customizations made. For instance, when a custom scale is used, it is important to indicate this for each view to avoid confusion during manufacturing. Individual view labels can be inserted into each view to automatically pull relevant information such as scale, name, label, delimiter, and angle. Manual view labels can be created as well.

SOLIDWORKS 2024 offers productivity enhancements to STEP file import. When importing an assembly, users are given the opportunity to Enable Filter. Using this option will provide the user with a complete assembly component tree prior to importing all STEP geometry. Users can then choose desired components from the list. 

SOLIDWORKS CAD Oct 18, 2023

Productivity enhancements improve assembly tools in SOLIDWORKS 2024. Insert Component now includes the configuration name and description. Configuration names are often part numbers, which may not be descriptive enough when choosing configurations during component insert. Now, with the use of descriptions, users can ensure they are selecting the correct configuration from the start.
