In the realm of engineering simulations, the ability to accurately predict the behavior of materials under various conditions is paramount. This is where the Cohesive Section Property option in Abaqus and the structural simulation roles on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform offer a robust solution for engineers trying to realistically simulate models with components or surfaces that are connected via adhesives. […]

Whether you place a View Port to Model space where your work and title block is or you are placing the desired title block on a Layout Tab, you may notice that the white paper space of the layout is not the same size as your title block. This can affect the output of printing. […]

Eco Design Engineer is a role in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform that allows users to iterate and optimize their product’s environmental footprint. It allows for comparison of design alternatives to ensure minimal impact on the planet. Much of a product’s environmental impact is determined during the design phase. As below, with the power of the virtual […]

One of the biggest benefits that using SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic and SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D brings us is the ability to get a single cohesive view of my electro-mechanical assembly. As a design team, we can showcase our designs from a 2D schematic perspective as well as a fully modeled and routed 3D assembly. Without SOLIDWORKS […]

Using SOLIDWORKS PDM for you data management carries a lot of major benefits including seamless collaboration, data security, and revision tracking. When working with team members and revising designs you might find yourself asking, “When was this file last edited and who did the editing?” or “Why were those changes made?” Fortunately, SOLIDWORKS PDM has […]

On the surface, when comparing AutoCAD Electrical vs SOLIDWORKS Electrical the seemingly offer the exact same electrical schematic design capabilities, but if you dig a little deeper and ask around, you’ll quickly learn there’s a deeper story to uncover. While AutoCAD Electrical has served many industries since its release in 2004, many of the early […]

Simulation and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) are the cornerstones of modern product design. These tools allow engineers to virtually test and optimize designs before physical prototypes are built. For years, SOLIDWORKS Simulation has been a trusted companion and continues to be one, offering a robust set of capabilities. SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium can solve a wide […]

As we enjoy the 2024 Olympic Games, I wanted to challenge my SOLIDWORKS modeling skills with a special project. A designer friend suggested modeling an Olympic torch, and I was excited to discover a wide variety of Olympic torch designs dating back to Berlin 1936. Olympic Torch Design The torch that really caught my eye […]
