Over the last couple of years, do you ever feel like you have been put on, or stuck on mute? Do you feel that your questions, your concerns, are not being heard? With the SOLIDWORKS User Forum community on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, you have the ability to “come off mute” and ask your questions about the 3DSwym community experience to the SOLDIWORKS community manager, Matthew Hall. Back in February we here on the SOLIDWORKS User Advocacy team were feeling a bit of that and wondered if our

As many of you might be aware, there are some changes coming to the SOLIDWORKS User Forum. I wanted to take this opportunity to explain our plans for the future of the SOLIDWORKS Communities and the SOLIDWORKS Forums in particular. For us the SOLIDWORKS Community is the most valuable thing that we have. It is composed of strong, passionate, incredibly diverse, amazing people from all over the world.
As more and more software is deployed on the cloud, many might question how secure these cloud-based applications really are compared with traditional on-premise software. To some, “the cloud” sounds like data is magically jettisoned to some nebulous place in the atmosphere—and all that data is now floating out there (securely, somehow) in the sky. In actuality, the biggest difference in cloud computing is the physical location of servers. You still control access to all your data.
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced most organizations to relocate their workforce to their homes; causing challenges in getting their jobs done using the tools they need. Enabling users to collaborate with their engineering data and complete projects on time, without interruption, is very important. For our electrical engineers using SOLIDWORKS Electrical, it is no different.
The world is facing an unprecedented challenge that affects all aspects of life. Many SOLIDWORKS users are now working from home due to restricted access to office locations. You may be using a personal home computer or a borrowed company computer that is not as optimally configured as the professional-grade workstation you normally use. Additionally, the network connection from your home to your company’s data storage locations may be substantially different from the speed and stability to

When you are dealing with such a complex and function rich software like SOLIDWORKS, it’s easy for a few hidden features to slip through the cracks. Although some of these offer only minor help to your day-to-day design work, some of them can have a major impact both now and in the future. One of these hidden gems many overlook is called the Enhancement Request. Maybe you have created your own hotkey that takes a 10-step process down to one and you wanted to share it with the world?
I take notes and make myself reminders. It’s what I do. So after my day at the SOLIDWORKS User Group Network’s Technical Summit in Nashville, I’ve got a lot of notes and reminders to review. The SWUGN Technical Summits are one-day training and networking events in cities across the country.
Does an engineer share workloads or work concurrently in a team? My observation is that most engineers are PART of teams, but don’t necessarily WORK in teams. By nature, an engineer is trained to be a highly effective innovator who first works with tools on his own, challenging complex issues and then when done, gets feedback from team members which he/she then inserts into his/her concepts or designs. The process is still very sequential at many companies out there and most of the engineers I
Choosing the right digital tools is becoming a critical aspect of business strategy for today’s companies. When those tools are the ones you entrust with creating your company’s new products, the lifeblood of product development organizations, choosing the right ones becomes vitally important. There are so many factors to take into consideration when considering software vendors to partner with; an important one is the financial strength of that company.
