Model Based Definition (MBD) is an add-in tool that helps us to create 3D drafting with all PMI, this tool produces the output in eDrawings®, 3D-PDF & STEP 242 for clear 3D communication which bypasses time-consuming 2D processes and eliminates potential problems.   MBD tool supports the establishment of document digitalization and control hardcopy utilization. Creating MBD document for an assembly: For creating the MBD with the necessary Product Manufacturing Information for the assembly mentioned in the image MBD tool must be activated. Where to find, Now the tool is available with plenty of options to work with the assembly. Activating MBD also adds a  3D Views  tab at the bottom with the  Capture 3D view option. The capture 3D view option helps to capture the views of the assembly similar to the performance of sheets in the 2D drawing. Creating Annotation view: An Annotation view must be inserted with necessary view orientation for capturing each 3D view...

Sheet Metal features in SOLIDWORKS have always been user-friendly. They’ve always been consistent. Also, whenever there is an enhancement to the core Sheet Metal Features, it’s always something useful. Materials in Sheet Metal are extremely important. If you are choosing between building a part out of Aluminum or Stainless Steel – you aren’t just choosing a material. You’re choosing tooling, bend radius values, and a plethora of other design requirements that are unique to your company. SOLIDWORKS  now allows you to link typical Sheet Metal Parameters to any custom material, so you can use those parameters again and again. To link a parameter to a Custom Material to a Sheet Metal part, all you have to do is edit that Material – and expand to the Sheet Metal tab. When you assign a custom material to a sheet metal part, you can link the sheet metal   parameters to the material. If you change the material, the sheet metal parameters also   update. To link materials and sheet...

1. Creating custom properties in the part file.            Open a new part document Click  New  (Standard toolbar) or  File > New . In the dialog box, select “Part ” or your standard custom part document. Then open the “File Properties”  using the icon as shown in the below image.            The properties dialog box is opened, and under the “custom”  tab we add the SOLIDWORKS part template file properties. The first row is provided but it is empty so let us start adding the properties Start with “Property Name”  by drop down it shows a pre-made set of items displayed in the list. I select “Drawn By”. The second column is the “Type”  we need to choose how to display the property I select the “Text”  type. Then move to “Value / Text Expression”  Here is where we need to enter who drew the model.              The Last is the “Evaluated Va...

Effective benefits of Cloud Collaboration -  THE 3DEXPERIENCE PLATFORM 3DEXPERIENCE is a cloud-based platform, easily accessed with a browser which has curated solutions  for persons from each department in an organization ranging from design, simulation, and manufacturing to governance/Management. Before knowing what’s new in recent 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS , let’s quickly run through a few capabilities in this powerful cloud collaboration environment - 3DEXPERIENCE. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform has cloud design and collaboration capabilities in close integration with SOLIDWORKS to carry out Product Data Management (PDM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) activities. Connect your SOLIDWORKS or any CAD data with the 3DEXPERIENCE cloud platform to securely save and manage them from anywhere, anytime with any device. Below listed are a few of the general benefits of cloud-based collaboration for SOLIDWORKS. ·  Create several tailored dashboards to serve your needs in ...

LOGOPRESS LOGOPRESS is a die design software, which automates a variety of processes, including Blanking, Strip layout, Nesting, Tool design, and drawings in addition to unbending and flattening even "Complex" parts. This included LOGOPRESS die simulation even allowing the die to simulate the tool positioning and interference checked during the operation in the press. With a Gold-certified SOLIDWORKS Partner Product, LOGOPRESS work as an Add-in inside SOLIDWORKS so you can use the power of 3D modeling capabilities to speed up the design process. BLANK FLATTEN LOGOPRESS BLANK Flatten option allows us to quickly and easily predict the theoretical blank of 3D-formed parts. The Finite Element Analysis includes minimizes the development time in the press. Therefore, we can Flatten our models in the following FEA conditions including Blank Prediction, Meshing, Thickness Variation, Stress & Strain Results, Bounding Box Info and Contour points mapping. This mesh is fully automati...
