Like the other browser-based modeling tools available through the SOLIDWORKS xDesign bundle, the xDesign app enables users to design and collaborate with their team anywhere and anytime. Whether you have been modeling for years or are new to 3D CAD environments, xDesign provides intuitive tools to help your designs come to life. This is part […]

One of the biggest benefits of taking certified, instructor-led SOLIDWORKS training is the knowledge shared by our team to help avoid common pitfalls or committing a SOLIDWORKS rookie mistake. Leveraging the SOLIDWORKS Calculator is one of those time-saving tools often forgotten about by SOLIDWORKS users. While trying to learn on your own has the potential to […]

Proprietary information and data is the most critical aspect of any organization. Having centrally located data is mission-critical to ensure correct parts are ordered and files are not duplicated. Understanding history, who made changes, and why changes were executed is the essence of design, engineering, and ever-evolving products. Dassault Systèmes offers two data management packages […]

In this TriMech TechTalk interview, Sam Goetz, a TriMech Solutions Consultant and CAM Expert, talked to us about what makes SolidCAM unique and why it’s the best choice for CAM users who need a streamlined process from initial design through CNC programming and manufacturing. Sam Goetz What is SolidCAM? SolidCAM is the premier CAM solution […]

While we’d all prefer to be running the most up-to-date SOLIDWORKS release and never run into problems with other users running an older SOLIDWORKS release, it’s just a fact of life that our collaborators will use older versions. While SOLIDWORKS Service Pack 5 of a release can open files from the next year’s version, they […]

Relative humidity is a necessary parameter in many engineering applications and accurately simulating its effects can influence HVAC system and building designs, environmental control systems, thermal management, and electronics cooling. SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation provides options to account for relative humidity in computational fluid dynamics simulations thus enabling more accurate and realistic modeling of thermal and fluid […]

In SOLIDWORKS Electrical, generating an accurate bill of materials (BOM) is crucial for ensuring precise material estimates and minimizing waste. However, raw length values often include decimal points, which may not be ideal for manufacturing and purchasing. To standardize lengths, configuring the bill of material to round up length can be a practical approach. This […]

The SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager is a lightweight application used to download and install all of the SOLIDWORKS products. This can be downloaded by logging into the SOLIDWORKS Downloads website with a 3DEXPERIENCE ID. The 3DEXPERIENCE ID used must be associated with an account with an active subscription. Based on the license information entered and selected […]
