SOLIDWORKS VISUALIZE ADD-IN TO EXPORT MODELS FROM SOLIDWORKS

SOLIDWORKS Visualize is a standalone software package designed to take 3D CAD data and transform it into photo-realistic images and animations that are ready for print and web in minutes.

The intuitive interface allows even non-technical users to develop rich, life like visual content with ease. With more robust images, internal team members and external stakeholders can quickly select, validate, improve and market their best and most robust design concepts before committing precious time and resources to a product. 

The SOLIDWORKS Visualize Add-in offers four options for exporting your active model from SOLIDWORKS to SOLIDWORKS Visualize. 

To use the add-in, in SOLIDWORKS, click Tools > Add-in and select SOLIDWORKS Visualize.

Export Simple

This option provides you with fastest way to paint and take photos of a model you created in SOLIDWORKS. To achieve faster rendering, it minimizes the number of parts in the Visualize Scene Tree.

Click Export Simple to save a copy of the active model and load it into SOLIDWORKS Visualize using Appearance mode part grouping.

Export Advanced 

This option gives you more flexibility if you update your model often. 

Click Export Advanced to save a copy of your active model with Automatic mode part grouping and Monitor File enabled.

If you have Visualize Professional and the model includes a motion study, the Select Motion Study dialog box lets you save or not save the motion study, or save only the camera motion.

Update 

This option exports the latest version of your active model and triggers an update in Visualize. 

Click Update and confirm that you want to re-import the model into SOLIDWORKS Visualize and update it. 

Save Advanced 

This option saves a copy of your active model and motion studies to a specific location, so you can import the model into SOLIDWORKS Visualize. You can use this option to export the model to other users who do not have SOLIDWORKS installed on their computer. 

Click Save Advanced and specify a directory in which to save the model. If you have Visualize Professional and the model includes a motion study, the Select Motion Study dialog box lets you save or not save the motion study, or save only the camera motion.

WHAT WE NEED MORE THAN THIS? - SOLIDWORKS VISUALIZE

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 place where you require.

Then, General Tab-> Click the drop down in Type-> Choose IES Profiles.

It asks for browse location. Click and choose the profiles.

Note: If, in default there is no IES Light Profiles. Please click the following link and free download it. Link: https://leomoon.com/store/shaders/ies-lights-pack/

Once the Profile is browsed, simply choose the Transformation tools and adjust the Light to the position suits to your creativity.

Here are the few samples that IES Profiles achieve in SolidWorks Visualize.

Hope everyone enjoyed. Thank you for your valuable time. Have a try on the tool and get a great exposure and become a light technician/ designer with the help of SolidWorks Visualize. Thank you.

 

Design to Manufacturing Solutions for Brick Making Machine Industry

Integrated SOLIDWORKS platform helps you to deliver Brick Making Machine on time by reduce manufacturing and operating costs.

Modelling Benefits

• SOLIDWORKS is easy to use in a single platform – you can quickly go from an idea to a functioning product.
• Transition between 2D to 3D is easy without the need to convert legacy Data
• Rule Based Design Automation using DriveWorks Xpress
• Creation of 2D drawings from models, so the process is efficient.
• Visually review models in 3D and check for interference and clearance to ensure design fit, form functionality.
• Models changes in drawings are reflected in their related documents, so making design changes is easier and drawings are more accurate.

Simulate for Success

• Linear Static analysis for Structural can be very costly and time consuming depending on the route you’re taking, especially if tests are being carried out on physical models
• Identify Slender structures under compressive loads
• SOLIDWORKS Simulation reduce time to market by saving effort and time in searching for the optimum design.

Real Time Rendering for Marketing

• Create real time renderings with the ease of use visualize tools
• Instantly create multiple design directions, to make better business decisions and get your products to market faster while capturing maximum market share.

Product Data Management Helps to Protect Intellectual Property

• SOLIDWORKS PDM allows to dramatically reduce the time we spend searching for parts, assemblies, and drawings. Part of the SOLIDWORKS product development solution covering design, simulation, technical communication, and data management, SOLIDWORKS PDM will help you drive design reuse and manage your overall product development process.

Solutions for Technical Communication

• Make assembly instructions, service manuals from existing 3D models to rapidly create and update high-quality graphical assets that are fully associated with your 3D design.
• Minimize the time required to create inspection documentation, helping to eliminate input errors, improve quality, and reduce time to market.
• Create organize, and publish 3D annotations, including 3D model data in industry-standard file formats.
