Across the nation, GoEngineer customers utilize government grants, funds, and similar programs to offset the cost of purchasing GoEngineer’s SOLIDWORKS training courses. To make SOLIDWORKS training more accessible for businesses who otherwise can’t afford the costs, we’ve put together a shortlist of state-wide training grants that your company can tap into today.

CAMWorks Network licenses will sometimes forget what licenses to check out when you start the software. It knows it has a valid CAMWorks license, but the modules for the licenses don’t get pulled with the license. This can lead to greyed-out toolpaths or odd error prompts when clicking through the tabs. This can be easily fixed by reassigning the modules back to the software.

Tool Palettes is a new feature in the Palettes section of the DraftSight 2024 user interface, providing quick access to various tools, commands, properties, and resources. This tutorial offers instructions for creating and modifying Tool Palettes.

In its infancy, 3D printing was primarily used for prototypes and passion projects. If the end result looked good and held together for a few hours, it passed the test. But times have changed. Engineers now expect printed parts to survive stress, heat, and real-world use. That shift, from hobby to heavy duty, hinges on one factor: better materials.

3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS (SOLIDWORKS Connected) and the Design with SOLIDWORKS add-in can be uninstalled directly from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This guide outlines the process.

In SOLIDWORKS, materials in multibody parts work similarly to materials in single body parts, except you can assign materials to individual bodies to override the main part material. When you apply a material to the whole part (at the top of the FeatureManager Design Tree, as you would with a single body part), each body automatically inherits the material. This is exactly how single body parts work. You can then specify different materials for specific bodies if desired. This allows you to create your model as simple or as detailed as you want.

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools for collaborative product development. Among these tools, 3DDrive and 3DSpace stand out as essential applications for file storage and management. While they may seem similar at first glance, each serves a distinct purpose and caters to different user needs within the platform.

In SOLIDWORKS, the default bend order follows the order in which bend features were created. This article explains what the default order is, how to display it in drawings, and how to change it. Let's start with a simple sheet metal part as an example.

When troubleshooting SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE, it's important to acquire as much information, both from the user and from inner components within the software, as possible. For SOLIDWORKS, a problem capture provides information deep within the program, which is needed for both GoEngineer and SOLIDWORKS techs to investigate. In 3DEXPERIENCE, with multiple applications located on a browser, it can be difficult to locate where an issue hides. Fortunately, there is a program designed to capture all internal information from a browser (similar to the SOLIDWORKS Rx problem capture), called the TroubleShooting Machine, or TSM for short.
