CONTROL THE ACTION OF YOUR ASSEMBLY

Image
Do you want to control the action of your assembly to show different position? Look no further. Mate Controller will help you manipulate specific mates that control degrees of freedom for a design . You can edit the positions, save and recall saved positions and mate values. You can also create animations based on the saved positions. The allowable movement between components should be defined by adding mates to your assembly. Supported mate types: o  Angle o  Distance o  LimitAngle o  LimitDistance o  PathMate (Distance Along Path, Percent Along Path) o  Slot (Distance Along Slot, Percent Along Slot) o  Width (Dimension, Percent) Your assembly should include at least one supported mate type. 1.  Begin by adding supported manually or use collect all supported mates automatically 2.  Define the position by entering the mate values or using the slider and lock the values and add the position using. ...

WHAT WE NEED MORE THAN THIS? - SOLIDWORKS VISUALIZE

Image
What’s the picture tells about? Any guess? Is that Magic Show? Dancing Program? Of course, yes. It is a singing performance. What’s the thing we shall focus here is “The Lightings”. In discipline, there are several different stage lightings are used. They have experienced light technicians as well as the designers to pull over the audience attention. Interesting chapter. Isn’t? We are in the connected part with this one to the SolidWorks Visualize . Yes. The Lightings. As we all know SolidWorks Visualize Professional has the core capability of Lighting Tools. The users now are more enjoyable to have a great tool which is introduced in 2020, “IMPORTING IES LIGHT PROFILES” into SolidWorks Visualize Professional. Keep improving one step ahead. Let see how the workflow is. Go to Windows-> SolidWorks Visualize-> Model-> Open. Go to Scenes-> Click + icon to add new Light or simply right click Scenes view port-> add new Light. Then Pick Target/ Pick Position to p...

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...

How to Collaboratively Design Electrical Overhead Traveling Crane through SOLIDWORKS

Image
          The overhead crane, commonly called bridge crane, is a type of equipment most commonly found in all industries used for handling heavy machinery and structures. Here we designed Electrical overhead traveling crane embedded with a lot of safety features and more ergonomic to ensure the worker's safety, as well as material they handle and this model, is designed by using solid Works collaborative environment which handles both mechanical and electrical design seamlessly without any repeated chores.           This EOT Crane is driven by 3 Electrical Synchronous Brake Motors and one specialized Electric Motor with advanced features. In addition to that, it is loaded with a lot of sensors for efficient working with real-time feedback which makes the machine more consistent & precise and capable of carrying heavy loads. For a like, limit switch used to interrupt motor power to prevent hook over travel and hazardous condit...
