SOLIDWORKS 2017 introduces some great new capabilities that make the design process even more productive. Even the simplest looking design can be visually complex and hard to interpret, due to high amounts of internal detail. SOLIDWORKS 2017 delivers a great new capability for increasing visual clarity, when working in a section view. Now the sectioned geometry of any component or body can be displayed transparent, enabling you to maintain complete visualisation of geometry hidden by the section plane. Using the new property manager option, simply select the components, and set the level of transparency, now it’s even easier to interpret complex designs. It’s often necessary to have to model the physical Threads on holes and shafts, for applications such as digital simulation and 3D Printing . SOLIDWORKS Thread feature is a great time saver for modelling Threads in one quick and easy to use command. New for SOLIDWORKS 2017, the Thread Feature now provides the option...

SOLIDWORKS  will help Engineers to Design and Validate your product as per the industrial standards and applications. There are some considerations to be done for conducting the best design approach, as follows: Purpose of Design Material of Products Less Weight Should not fail Should not be too costly Following some standards Market survey Properties to be incorporated for Design Challenges: Material Library – Applying the mechanical properties for your Design by using a single click Material Library Tab. Evaluate – Measuring the exact product weight before the manufacturing process for VAVE Optimization. Material Library Mass Properties Static & Nonlinear Analysis – Finding the visual product validation for better performance & quality. Perform a spell check on your designs to ensure the product meets the requirements. Fatigue Analysis – Predicting the exact design life estimation before the production. Stress...

The What's New 2017 proved with a good set of enhancements for User post processing. One such enhancement is the Off-loaded Simulation in solving the analysis studies. User faces problems related to time consuming process when a large problem is setup for study. This off-loaded simulation enhancement allows the analyst to solve the setup studies on another computer. The introduced enhancement for 2017 is available for SolidWorks Simulation Premium licences, which can be used for Static & Non Linear setup studies. Steps involved: Identifying another computer to free up resources for parallel tasks from the user involved system Solution is run on another computer connected on the same network domain Coordinator system requires SolidWorks & Simulation Premium license . SolidWorks Simulation Worker Agent to be installed & activated on the network connceted system Create Static or Non Linear studies on the coordinator machine Temporary results saved on the ot...

We all know that note are an important part of any engineering drawing and help to transfer vital information. One of the problems when dealing with drawings is to keep these note up to date. The best solution for that problem is to automate the process and ask the software to take care of maintaining them. That is what SOLIDWORKS keeps doing every year. For example: 1. In 2016 what’s new SolidWorks added a facility of linking a note to balloons using a flag note. 2. In 2017 what’s new SolidWorks added enhancement in note, now we can directly link a note to the content of an table cells. How to link a note to table cells: The following steps will explain how to link note to table cells. 1. Click note, from Annotation tab. 2. Place the text in graphical area of sheet. 3. Click “Link Table Cell” from Note property dialog > Text Format. 4. Now select the cells from table which we want to link with the note. The below images will explain the method L...

Working with large assemblies can often be challenging due to the sheer number of models that get loaded and the interactions that need to be solved between these components. This can particularly difficult when working with layouts to optimize space and organize equipment. SOLIDWORKS 2017 introduces new tools and enhanced workflows that directly address many of these challenges. Parts and assemblies can be published as assets with appropriate connection points that allow easy drag and drop mating. Upon insertion, components are immediately snapped onto a ground plane, and with a simple tab key, the part can be rotated for approximate positioning. As an asset approaches another, snap lines appear indicating that a Magnetic Mate can applied between the connection points of the 2 models, and when the component is dropped the magnetic mate is applied. Magnetic Mates can easily be broken, by dragging to unsnap, and then re-snapping the model to a new location. Assets, can easily ...
