Sheet metal parts are common across a wide range of industries from special machines, housings, and other critical product components. It is a well-known fact that SOLIDWORKS allows you to quickly and cost-effectively create sheet metal part designs using a simple design process, saving you time and development costs. In order to make it more efficient few great enhancements have been made to the Sheet Metal design in SOLIDWORKS 2017 . Normal Cut Feature When a hole is punched on curved faces of a Sheetmetal part using normal cut feature, the flattened state of it will produce an odd geometry in SOLIDWORKS 2016. This has been enhanced in SOLIDWORKS 2017 . Now in SOLIDWORKS 2017 a new option is available to “Optimize the geometry” of the cut to remove any unwanted material. Upon further inspection, we can clearly see that after using this option we are able to achieve the right result. This new option will be turned on by default for all newly created Normal Cu...

You can create a mold using a sequence of integrated tools that control the mold creation process. You can use these mold tools to analyze and correct deficiencies with either SOLIDWORKS or imported models of parts to be molded. Any changes to the molded part are automatically reflected in the tooling bodies, this is common when your taken the SOLIDWORKS part file “.sldprt” as a mold part Let us assuming the user has created core and cavity using a imported part model Given in “step” format, if the model data has been changed but you want to use the new part data in the place of existing part data In this case SOLIDWORKS having a great capability of updating the core and cavity with respect to the imported data changes. Core and cavity created using “Translated_Dustpan.STEP” imported model Now the imported model has been modified and given to the user, so we have to replace the Translated Dustpan imported model with the new modified Translated Dustpan STEP mode...

SOLIDWORKS  Bearing Calculator helps us to calculate capacity and life of bearing, enabling the engineer in better selection of bearing based on its application and working condition. SOLIDWORKS Bearing Calculator SOLIDWORKS  Bearing Calculator helps us to calculate capacity and life of bearing, enabling the engineer in better selection of bearing based on its application and working condition. To calculate the capacity and life time of the bearing,Select the Standard(ANSI,ISO,DIN etc) followed by the type of bearing and the size of bearing.There is an option to set the measurement units to US(English) or SI(Metric). Select the desired non-failure rate(Reliability) for the selected bearing. There are two different ways to specify the capacity.If the calculated capacity is chosen then an option will be available to enter the number of balls used in the bearing and ball diameter of the bearing.After entering the values,click “Solve capacity” button to c...

With SOLIDWORKS Electrical , users can generate their Electrical Schematic diagram in an automated way through an Excel file. Users can have an advanced configuration of their projects defined in a spreadsheet, so they will be able to design any standard electrical project automatically, considering different types of configurations. The XLS spread sheet  below, which will have Codes to identify and keywords which are recognizable format to the SQL”. Once we add the required Codes in XLS sheet, then we need to add the MACROS to be inserted into schematic using MACRO MANAGER. Also create any symbols to be inserted for your specific MACRO.                                                     (Macro Symbol Inserted) Go to IMPORT/EXPORT>> EXCEL AUTOMATION  and select the CONFIGURED XLS file and then import it. This XLS ...

Spring being a Mechanical Elastic component, gives the engineers a relief when dealing with mechanism driven assemblies. The commonly used springs can be a compression, extension & torsion varieties. Spring Design: Modeling Springs within SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD environment has been a quite simple process for the Engineers. The usage of simple Circle, Helix/Spiral commands with produce a fully Swept Springs. Modifying the Dimensions, Pitch & Revolutions can produce the required variations among the Springs. The productive features available in SOLIDWORKS  allows to Automate the existing Spring design with varying input data's like Diameter, Coil Length & Pitch based on revolutions. Spring Animations: The 3D CAD models can virtually be animated with respect to time. The Time based motion provides the information related to extension & compression operation occuring in Springs. The Users should set the time limit for the operations & provide the valid For...
