DraftSight 2020 Automatic Add & Arrange Dimensions

Image
For the past few years DraftSight has introduced a lot of productivity enhancement tools, likewise in 2020 also they introduce automatically add & arrange dimensions. Dimension drawings automatically to save hours of time per drawing, improve consistency and reduce manual tedious tasks. Steps: 1.  Select All Entities > Right-Click > Dimension Bounding Box >   Create 2.  Type AUTODIMENSION > In the Properties Pane, select the entities for Horizontal Dimension scheme, Vertical Dimension scheme, Dimension Placements and   Origin 3.  At the bottom of the property pane > Preview and   Apply. 4.  For Auto-Arrange Dimensions, Goto Annotate Tab > Select Auto Arrange, Alias –ARRANGEDIMESIONS > Specify the spacing value in the Dimension Palette and use the Thumbwheel to adjust the spacing of the   dimensions. I   believe   that   the   above   mentioned ...

Design for Manufacturability using SolidWorks Tools

Image
Design & Manufacturing Process Overview The design stage is considered the most crucial component in the product lifecycle process - the platform for the conception and development of new products. Approximately 80 percent or more of the lifecycle costs of a product are determined during the design stage. Companies are constantly fight the battle and pay the price of miscommunication between design and manufacturing departments. Finding errors and fixing defects during the design stage is the optimal way to achieve high quality and cost-effective products. Iterative Design Process In the iterative approach to the design process, the designer needs to receive early feedback from the manufacturing department to address any manufacturability concerns before the design is frozen. This methodology is ideal however it is generally only feasible in an environment where the manufacturing & design departments are co-located. With the “Design anywhere - Make anywhere” pr...

What is Pores Medium & How to Simulate it in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation?

Image
Material which contain Pores are called Porous material, the weight of the porous material is less when compared to the solid material. The porosity of the material is defined by the Porous size the is formed in the material, there are different techniques for manufacturing these type of material depending on the size of the porous void that to be formed. There are wide range of applications like  catalysis, chemical separations, tissue engineering  and exhaust manifold. In the exhaust manifold the harm full chemicals are removed by using porous material. There are different types of Porous material according to direction of flow 1.  Isotropic 2.  Non Isotropic( Unidirectional, Axisymmetric, Orthotropic ) There will be change in the pressure, velocity and direction of flow changes according to the porous medium, by using Solidworks flow simulation can simulate the flow. Steps for creating the Porous medium in Flow study: 1. Create the wizard b...
