Antero 840CN03 is an engineered thermoplastic specifically designed for Stratasys F900 and Fortus 450mc FDM 3D printers. Antero 800NA is Stratasys' trade name for PEKK (of the same chemical family as PEEK), a robust thermoplastic known for its exceptional heat resistance, chemical resistance, and strength properties.
Let’s look at a major time-saver - using the Engineering Release app in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to change/add properties (metadata) to parts and assemblies that have already been saved to the platform. The Engineering Release app is included with the Product Release Engineer role. This is a role that can be added to your platform for certain users who need it. This role is considered the “BOM Release/Management” role, and its main purpose is to manage product definition from the early stages all the way to final validation.
In SOLIDWORKS, using a multibody part instead of an assembly can be beneficial in specific circumstances, such as increased performance over assemblies, bulk configuration creation, and sheet metal/weldment work. Multibody parts are especially useful when you have a bill of materials but no moving parts. If there are no kinematics to evaluate, the “assembly” can remain a multibody part.
Notifications in the vault alert users to different conditions in SOLIDWORKS PDM. This article explains the different types of notifications and how to set them up. It will also discuss how notifications are delivered to the user (whether in PDM or via email). When testing Notifications, PDM will not send a notification to the person who initiated an action. If you are sending a notification to the PDM admin, then log in as a different user to test sending the notification. Then, log back into the vault view as the PDM admin to see if they received it.
If you're looking to go beyond the standard attribute options available in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, you're in the right place. In this post, we'll walk through the proper steps to create a custom attribute within the Physical Products tab, the most commonly used area for attribute creation.
Struggling to find the right file is never just a one-time inconvenience. If you dig through disorganized files once, you’ll do it again. A McKinsey study confirms this: employees spend an average of 23.2% of their week simply searching for the data they need. That's nearly a full day every week spent just trying to find a file, instead of designing.
In this article, you will learn how to display Alpha Numeric Rows and Columns for the borders of a schematic in SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic. First, let’s go over how title blocks are assigned. Go to the Library tab and then click on Title Block Management. Title blocks are grouped by classifications. You can choose a title block and edit it, or create a new one.
It is often asked how to convert 2D files to 3D SOLIDWORKS models. Whether legacy data from a previous CAD package or new customer data delivered in an inconvenient format, the need to convert it is the same. There are several ways to accomplish this conversion, but the 2D to 3D toolbar is purpose-built for the task. This article walks through how to use this often overlooked set of tools to import the model, transition and align the views, and then use that information to build a 3D model.
Your SOLIDWORKS installation comes with several pre-configured weldment profiles that adhere to the following standards: ANSI, ANSI Inch, AS, BSI, CISC, DIN, GB, iso, and JIS. But what if you wanted a custom weldment profile for your designs? You're in the right place! The world is your oyster, as far as possibilities are concerned.
