 How to Create an Exploded View in SolidWorks: A Stepby-Step Guide Exploded views are an essential feature in SolidWorks that allow you to visually separate the components of an assembly, making it easier to understand how parts fit together.  This blog gives you a simple overview of what exploded views are in SOLIDWORKS, how to create them step-by-step, and how to animate them effectively.  What is an Exploded View in SolidWorks?  An exploded view in SolidWorks is a configuration of an assembly where parts are spaced apart to show how they fit together without disassembling the model.  Typical Use Cases:  ➢ Assembly instructions or manuals  ➢ Presentations and design reviews  ➢ Technical drawings with BOM  ➢ Marketing visuals  Step-by-Step: Creating an Exploded View  Step 1: Open Your Assembly File  ➢ Launch SolidWorks and open your assembly. Make sure all components are properly mated and positioned. Figure 1 Step 2: Go to th...

  Speed up the SheetMetal Fabrication & Assembly using SOLIDWORKS Tab and Slot   While designing a SheetMetal parts, theinterlocking of SheetMetal components is more important to improve the assembly accuracy, structural strength, and manufacturing efficiency. In that, SOLIDWORKS helps you to achieve this with the tool "Tab and Slot". The following content explains how to use the Tab and Slot feature in Sheetmetal design. In this example, we will use a multibody sheet metal part however, Tab and Slot can be added to any part, not just sheet metal.   Click Tab and Slot on Sheet Metal Toolbar . We will first fill in the parameters for the size of the tabs. Tab and Slot Property Manager ü Listed under the Tabs section are Length , Thickness , and Height which are set to 10mm, 5mm, and Blind Height to 5mm respectively. ü For Edge Type, we will keep this at Sharp Corner, although there are also selections for Fillet and Chamfer edges.  Those fillet an...

 SOLIDWORKS CAM STANDARD CAM  Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) is the use of software and computercontrolled machinery to automate a manufacturing process.  Based on that definition, you need three components for a CAM system to function:  Software that tells a machine how to make a product by generating tool paths. Machinery that can turn raw material into a finished product.  Post Processing that converts tool paths into a language machines can understand.  SOLIDWORKS CAM  SOLIDWORKS CAM is an add-on to all versions of SOLIDWORKS CAD that lets you prepare your designs for manufacturability earlier in the development cycle. Manufacturing tasks that had to wait until a design was complete can now be performed concurrently with the design process. CAM Standard  2.5 axis milling on parts only  One body in Muti-bodied part CAM Professional  2.5 axis turning  Assembly machining  3+2 milling  High Speed Machining  Suppor...

Enabling Xpress Product: 1)     Go to TOOLS à Xpress Products à Floxpress.     2) While opening first time the software activates a windows ask to enter the Xpress product code. 3)     Code can be generated by Selecting the My.solidworks.com/xpress .  4)     It asks for the Serial Key and the version for generating the code. Once the code has been entered the add-in would be opened in the  taskpane. Example: Using centrifugal pump The Two opening of the inlet and outlet has been closed with the lid.   On clicking the fluid volume, the volume of the fluid in the pump has been displayed. The fluid type has been selected, water or air. For inlet the pressure / volume flow rate/ mass flow rate can be assigned    Similarly for outlet the face and the values has been given. Once the inlet & outlet value has been given the flow has been calculated by selecting the solve option. Also, can generate th...
