Cornell Hyperloop is an engineering student project team that designs and builds a hyperloop pod, a novel form of transportation in which pods are sent through vacuum-sealed tubes at hundreds of miles per hour. This year, the Cornell Hyperloop team will return for a second time to the Hyperloop Global international competition in Canada. First envisioned by Elon Musk in 2013 to create an efficient alternative to current methods of transportation, Hyperloop is a high-speed transportation system
The future of innovation begins with nurturing young minds, and we are thrilled to share some exciting news from Ahmed Abdelnaser, SOLIDWORKS User Group (SWUG) Committee Leader for Africa, the Middle East and North Africa. SOLIDWORKS is embarking on a transformative journey in Egypt, in partnership with Mansoura Motorsport and Mansoura SWUG (SolidWorks User Group), to introduce SOLIDWORKS to primary school students across the country. Here is the story of a remarkable collaboration with Mansoura
For over 20 years, SOLIDWORKS has sponsored student teams that partipate in regional, national and international competitions. We have walked the fields, paddocks and pits, in all kinds of weather, to talk to students. The SOLIDWORKS Edu team and our Value added partners cheer on student engineering teams that use our design, simulation and documentation software as they prepare for the job skills needed and the best careers. Team Zenith Baja – India This year we support over 250 organizations
Team Bumblebee from the National University of Singapore (NUS), continues to succeed in international competitions and autonomous systems development. Mechanical design team member, Quek Wei, shared with the SOLIDWORKS EDU team their latest accomplishments. Team Bumblebee recently participated in the Maritime Robosub Challenge 2023 held at the US Naval Transdec facility in San Diego, California with a total of 35 teams from 5 countries. They have emerged as Champions, along with the other listed
Jeremy Fielding is an invertor, teacher and influencer with a simple goal, “Draw people to mechanical engineering with amazing projects, inspire them with ideas, then teach them how to do it.” We are fortunate to work with Jeremy on projects such as Magic Wheelchair and his latest inspirational visit to National Institution for Aviation Research (NIAR), Wichita State University. Jeremy created a fantastic video on NIAR robotics. Dassault Systemes, in partnership with Wichita State University has
In this lesson, learn the proper workflow to upload a SOLIDWORKS assembly to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and perform a Mechanical Scenario Creation study using the Abaqus solver. Open a SOLIDWORKS assembly that has not been saved to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Upload the SOLIDWORKS assembly to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Save the assembly in your Collaborative space.
Rich Wells, Harding University, Searcy, Arkansas, USA is teaching design, engineering and analysis courses to his students. His students are using SOLIDWORKS. But early this summer, Rich and three of his colleagues put together the “Robots and Rockets” Summer Camp for kids in grades 4-8 to have fun learning about with Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) projects. Campers got to work on: 1.
After teaching 1000’s of students and writing about SOLIDWORKS for over 25 years, David Planchard, emeritus WPI, is exploring the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
