To ensure greater accuracy for digital simulation or to produce a 3D printed prototype, it’s often necessary to model the physical threads on shafts and holes, among many other features. To create a thread in previous versions of SOLIDWORKS, we had to manually create a profile and a helix for creating a swept cut. This process has now been automated with a new Thread tool in SOLIDWORKS 2016 . The new Thread tool allow us to create helical threads on cylindrical faces using profile sketches. Now, this feature is very flexible, allowing us to specify the start thread location, an offset, end conditions, the type, size, diameter, pitch and rotation angle, and even choose options like right-hand or left-hand thread. We can also create our own custom thread profiles like weldment profile. SOLIDWORKS allow us to store our custom thread profile as a library feature. The default location where these are saved can be modified at Tools > Options > System Options > File Locations . ...

Living Environment System A living system should maintain and balance the optimum room temperature. Heat balance in a living room is very important from the energy consumption perspective to influence the essential temperature parameters. The purpose of an air conditioner is to maintain a comfortable indoor environment. The comfort system is usually determined by a combination of three factors: Temperature Humidity Air distribution Air Conditioning Purpose: For this reason the main purpose of air conditioners are to: Control room temperatures (cooling/heating) Control room humidity levels (drying, humidifying) Optimise air flow (circulation, distribution) Clean Air (filtration) Introducing HVAC Flow Simulation: HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) is an integrated module...

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...

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 o...

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
