A beam analysis represents structural members as 1D line elements, with a set of section properties applied to represent the beam’s stiffness. Users benefit from this analysis in a massive reduction in computation time, but downsides are larger assumptions (and thus less detailed results) and more manual setup time.
In this article, we cover what an assembly hole series is and how to create one. The SOLIDWORKS Assembly Hole Series is a Hole Wizard type feature that will intelligently create hole features through multiple components in an assembly. It gives you a large amount of flexibility for hole type and features within the hole to fasten your assembly components together.
In this article, we will show you the steps to convert a SOLIDWORKS Multibody Part file into a SOLIDWORKS Assembly File. The steps listed below can be useful when creating Molds as you can easily model everything at the Part level, and then move to the Assembly drawing to simply create your annotations.
How do I select the right workstation for my design and engineering application needs? Choosing the right platform isn’t too complicated—it mainly comes down to how you’ll be using it and what your budget looks like—but it sure can be confusing. After all, if we had unlimited funds, the answer would be easy! But being a bit more realistic, the goal is to optimize the match between the hardware, system software, applications, and workflows that are in use.
SOLIDWORKS Manage gives us greater flexibility than we’ve known with just PDM in terms of exporting data. One place where this is visible is in the ability of Manage to export record data to XML. In this article, we explore exporting data from a single record as XML from SOLIDWORKS Manage.
Linking values to external files in SOLIDWORKS allows users to change a common dimension value via one source. This can be useful when dealing with multiple designs that have to mate with the same interface.
Stratasys has invested heavily in developing dental technology, including 3D printers, materials & software. Now, they have a comprehensive lineup available to help your business succeed and GoEngineer is here to help you find the right solution. PolyJet and P3 dental printers from Stratasys offer unmatched capabilities such as multi-material printing, vivid color models, simple post-processing, and many more features that put them into a league of their own.
In this post, I highlight my favorite enhancements in the recent 2022X FD02 release of 3DEXPERIENCE. These are my personal favorites, but the complete list of 3DEXPERIENCE platform uodates can be found here. As a huge fan of customizing SOLIDWORKS to work for you, I am always on the lookout for ways to simplify my design process with quick UI changes. Most recently, there is a new Lifecycle and Collaboration category within the customization dialog.
The CST PCB Studio is an electromagnetic simulation tool specifically for the simulation of PCBs. It has the capability to import PCB designs from the most popular EDA layout tools (Figure 1) and incorporates several solver techniques to account for the most important analysis types.
