In this month’s Tech Blog we are going to be kicking off a new series that tracks our journey to implementing Excel automation into our design workflow. I am sure at some point you have all seen previews or demos of the Excel Automation feature of SOLIDWORKS Electrical, however, these demos are usually represented within a very controlled data set that may or may not reflect your industry or design. Due to the fact that the demos are usually very generic, it may be hard to translate how this

Topology studies in SOLIDWORKS Simulation give you insight to help determine the best design for a set of constraints (included in SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional and Premium packages). SOLIDWORKS 2019 now adds SOLIDWORKS Simulation Topology Study Constraints to achieve the desired results. You can control the Frequencyand Stress/Factor of Safety. Frequency Constraint Frequency constraints can specify the lower/upper limits or range of permissible frequencies for mode shapes.

Markers and Milestones SOLIDWORKS Composer has some great tools to help create animations among which are Markers and Milestones. These two tools allow you to flag significant points on the timeline in your animations. Markers and/or milestones can be used to organize the timeline, help make interactive content and create image output. Let’s focus on using markers and milestones to produce images from key points on the animation timeline.

Vor kurzem habe ich etwas Einzigartiges erlebt. Es war der Launch eines Projektes, dessen Vorbereitung ich bereits seit einigen Jahren unterstütze und dessen Start im September dieses Jahres hoffentlich den Beginn der größten Meeressäuberungsaktion der Geschichte bedeuten wird. Es handelt sich um das Projekt #theoceancleanup.

To do them right requires the proper tool–that’s SOLIDWORKS Composer. It’s easy to use and produces spectacular content that you really can’t–and shouldn’t try to do in CAD. For all the technical documentation you need to create, such as illustrations, work instructions, product manuals, or even interactive online content, Composer 2019 has many exciting enhancements to help you delight your customers. Key dimensions and manufacturing information often need to be displayed even in technical

At SolidSolutions we run training courses for a large variety of manufacturing solutions such as SolidCAM, SWOOD and SigmaNEST alongside the newly introduced SOLIDWORKS CAM. To help make our training courses easier to understand and more relatable to real life working situations we have purchased a 5 axis milling machine to demonstrate the outputs from these programs in action. Not only is this machine versatile in its output, it is also quiet and portable, making it suitable for demonstrations.

Ergonomic products are often designed for adults and while that is already tough enough to perfect, baby products are an even more elusive challenge for many product designers. How would one design products for those who are still learning and refining their motor skills? Monique Filer and Danielle Michaels reimagined every baby product they could think of with SOLIDWORKS On a flight to New Zealand, Dannielle Michaels found changing her newborn’s diaper to be what she describes as “mission

1) Use the Large Assembly and Lightweight Modes for Assemblies/DrawingsLarge assembly mode will automatically triggersome set of performance improving options based on a user defined component threshold. Lightweight components have improved opening, rebuild, and closing times. Primarily the graphical information and reference geometry are loaded into memory, but the features that define the part are not loaded into memory. These cannot be edited or shown in the feature manager design tree.

Die Technik entwickelt sich ständig weiter. Beispielsweise wurden Computer im Laufe der Jahrzehnte immer schneller und kleiner, sodass wir nun einen Punkt erreicht haben, an dem es der Aufbau nicht mehr zulässt, sie noch schneller oder noch kleiner zu machen. Prinzipiell existiert zwar das Wissen für die Umsetzung, jedoch schränkt uns die Größe eines Elektrons darin ein, kleinere oder schnellere CPUs zu bauen. Um Abläufe also weiter zu verbessern, müssen wir die Technologie in eine andere

I am using Solidworks 2018 with EPDM. When I file save as in an assembly, it then proceeds to give me a save as dialog prompt to save all the parts and assemblies in my original assembly one by one. I had this problem in 2015 and solved it by checking the box "Don't prompt to save read-only referenced documents (discard changes)" This check box is still checked. I also tried to change my registry to put a "1" in the "Abort read-only Top Docks" value.

It looks like you have something trying to drive the value ofMinor_dia@BodySketo 0.000mm. As you can see in the images below, the value is shown as 6.6190mm in the graphics area but when you double-click the dimension to edit it, the value shown is actually 0.0000mm. A line can't have zero length so the system is throwing an error. In the third image below, I've added a new dimension controlling the line length defined byMinor_dia@BodySkedimension and then deleted theMinor_dia@BodySkedimension

So I'm Trying to design an air inlet. I created tapered extrusions to link the inner surface (a revolution) and the outer surface (a loft). What I'm trying to do it do a cut loft that will remove the excess material from the outer part of my piece. I'm trying to remove the triangles outside of the outer piece.
