Introduction Design teams have different needs. Many want to communicate more efficiently with their partners. With the 3DEXPERIENCE PLATFORM, there are convenient tools like “Share a File” that allow users to remove the friction associated with sharing their designs, both internally and externally. Prerequisites roles for using this feature 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS (Standard, Professional, Premium) OR Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS Let’s consider two different user scenarios for using this feature, check the story as follows: ➢ User 1 – Designer ➢ User 2 – External Step 1: Login to the 3DEXPERIENCE PLATFORM as User 1- Designer. Step 2: Launch the SOLIDWORKS application using the Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS role or using the 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS role. Open up your design in SOLIDWORKS and share a file from the Lifecycle and Collaboration tab. This command opens up the dialog box, which has the facility to share your design data more securely, like enabling gu...

Environment Archive: The Environment Archive can contain all the Library items and all of the Active Projects. Depending on the size of your Environment in SolidWorks Electrical and whether you are using SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D will greatly affect the size of your Environment. To Archive the Environment, the Command is run from a Client Computer. Here are the steps to archiving the Environment in SolidWorks Electrical. Launch SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic on a client computer. From the File tab of the Command Ribbon (Command Manager), Select Archive Environment. 4. The Archive Environment Wizard will Launch 5. Click the Next Button to Proceed to the Selection Tab of the Archive Environment Wizard. 6. If you are archiving the Environment for a Server Move I would select all objects. Otherwise, you can select an appropriate option. 7. After making your Selection Click on the Next Button. You will see a Summary of all the items to be archived. 8. Click Finish to begin the archive ...

Material Calibration – A Deep Dive Knowing how to represent the materials in the structure is one of the hurdles of using Abaqus for sophisticated modeling. It’s really easy to define a basic linear elastic material model. It’s a little trickier to define a nonlinear elastic material, like rubber or elastomer, but you may learn more about that topic by attending some of our excellent courses. Rubber and elastomeric materials can get even more complicated than just their nonlinear elastic behavior, exhibiting significant viscous behavior and something called Mullin’s damage. The image above shows test data exhibiting all of these behaviors. It is very common that one needs to decide which behavior is important for your particular application. Trying to develop an “all-encompassing” material model that captures things such as rate dependence, temperature dependence, etc., is often not required to get some good design guidance from simulation. We plan to write a number of articles that...
