Latest Trends In CAD Industries

3D PRINTING
Since the evolution of 3d printing technology, creation of complex models have become an easy task for many industries. It is now possible to print and create various sizes from an eagle's beak to a dream car. Solidworks offers 3D Printing solutions , so that we can bring our ideas to life as 3D printed prototypes , just like the way we print documents in our office printer.

Solidworks can also output .STL and AMF Formats that provide more information about the model being printed. No post-processing is required to define data such as the position of your model relative to the selected 3D printer, orientation, color, materials, etc.

MOBILE ACCESS - CAD

Mobile access - CAD is a new emerging trend that reflects the mobile application technology and impact of seamless communication to handle 2D & 3D design data across your mobile devices anytime, anywhere.

Design on the go just got better with eDrawings mobile app. Solidworks eDrawings enables you, to take your designs to the next level of 2D and 3D collaboration with increased interactivity, including dynamic cross section views, measurements, markups and annotations, and the ability to share your design files via email.






WEB BASED DATA MANAGEMENT

Accessing the CAD / Non-CAD data over Web for various needs like Approval , state change within a department , Quick search and Model Preview has been a new trend of relief for suppliers/users staying outside the organisation or on a business trip.

Chaos Faced by Design Firms:

• Design data security
• Projects File organization and File Search
• Handling outdated versions of design

Solidworks Enterprise PDM eradicates the above chaos and protects your valuable design assets through centralized file storage and electronic workflow. Enterprise PDM Web2 is a Web portal that lets users connect to an Enterprise PDM vault from most devices for data handling , viewing, searching and approval. Mobile version of Web2 comes handy for Smartphone users .

SOLIDWORKS Simulation - “Durability Analysis for Random Vibration”

What is Random Vibration Fatigue?

• Structures or Mechanical components are subjected to random form of loading.
• Wind Loads, Wave Loads, Car engine operating on different moving roads are such examples.
• Random loading changes over time.
• Random vibration involves dynamic loading conditions.

Random Vibration Fatigue

• Three methods to compute the expected damage ratio due to random loading Fatigue.

•   Narrow Band Method
•   Steinberg Method
•   Wirsching Method
• Loading and response are random processes
• Frequency based fatigue is required for such loading conditions.
• They use statistical measures for solutions.
• Requires a Dynamic random vibration study run for Fatigue calculation.
• New Fatigue study involves stress PSD(Power Spectral Density)

What are Dynamic Loads ?

• Dynamic loads are classified to deterministic or non deterministic.
• Deterministic loads defined are functions of time and predicted precisely.
• They are harmonic, periodic or non periodic.
• Non deterministic loads cannot be defined as functions of time.

X Axis -  Frequency(Hertz)

Y Axis -  PSD (Amplitude²/ Frequency)

Benefits for Fatigue Analysis

• Calculates the Fatigue Strength Reduction Factor(Kf).
• The calculation takes place when the corrected alternating stress is less than the endurance limit.

Advantages

• Life will provide the Time for Fatigue Failure
• Damage will provide the percentage of Life during the Random Vibration Loading conditions.

SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION - SUBMODELLING

Overview

St. Venant’s Principle

• The stresses reasonably distant from an applied load on a boundary are not significantly altered if this load is changed to a Statically Equivalent Load. The distribution of stress and strain is altered only near the regions of load application

• FEA Which Includes with a large number of parts, the new Submodeling feature allows you to improve the results at critical areas without having to rerun the analysis for the whole model. Refining the mesh for a selected portion of the model and rerunning the analysis only for the submodel saves computation time.

Key Benefits of Submodeling

• Transfer of Complex Global Loads from the entire structure to Local Regions  to obtain Accurate Stress in a Local Region.

• Enables to experiment with Different Designs for the Region of Interest by refining mesh on the particular part

• Rerunning the analysis only for the submodel saves computation time

Improve your product performance, quality and reduce your prototyping costs

What is SolidWorks  Simulation?

SolidWorks Simulation virtually tests the product designs in real time conditions before manufacturing. With Simulation, designers and engineers can develop new concepts and innovate with design insights

Why SolidWorks Simulation?

SolidWorks Simulation helps the design engineers to validate for extreme loading conditions and various classes of materials in the real time conditions . It performs complex part and assembly problems within integrated SolidWorks environment.

The tool helps the designers to make the decision for their exact product requirement. Designers can concentrate on various factors like Stress, Strain, Displacement, Factor of Safety and Temperature Distribution to obtain the optimised product design. This tool will also validate for non linear and dynamic problems and vibration effects on the designs.

Benefits of SolidWorks Simulation

• Reduce prototyping costs
  
• Easily tackle the design changes
  
• Can tackle warranty issues
  
• Can effectively give the optimised design.
  
• Improve their product quality and performance.
  

Reverse your Engineering to Success

There can be no better tool than SOLIDWORKS to market your product efficiently.

HVAC using SolidWorks Flow Simulation

What is HVAC?
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. The purpose of HVAC system is to control the Temperature and Moisture of air. Air Handling Units (AHUs) used to cool, heat, humidify, dehumidify, filters and ventilate the air before it distributes to different areas of a building.

Why SolidWorks Flow Simulation HVAC?
HVAC System designer can efficiently and easily evaluate and optimize HVAC Systems with CAD embedded CFD, augmented with the HVAC application module. Designer can ensure Thermal Performance and design Quality at the start and avoid costly rework later on.

How SolidWorks Flow Simulation HVAC helps designer?

• Human Comfort Factors - calculate eight comfort parameters (including 'Predicted Mean Vote' [PMV] and 'Predicted Percent Dissatisfied' [PPD]) to measure thermal comfort and identify potential problem areas
  
• Advanced Radiation - model absorption of radiation in solid bodies and definition of the radiation spectrum for a more accurate radiation simulation
  
• Tracer Study - analyze the flow of a certain admixture (Tracer) in the existing carrier fluid
  
• Enriched Engineering Database - Wide range of building materials and fans to run thermal analysis quickly and efficiently

Applications

Benefits of SolidWorks HVAC Simulation

• Improve HVAC System Performance
  
• Maintain Thermal Comfort conditions
  
• Maintain optimum Air Quality
