SOLIDWORKS Design Checker verifies design elements such as dimensioning standards, fonts, materials, and sketches to ensure that SOLIDWORKS documents meet company standards. With SOLIDWORKS Design Checker you can:  Verify designs against company standards   Automatically correct nonconforming design and drafting issues Build Checks—Set up and save specific design and drafting checks Check specifically for fonts, dimensions, arrows, units, and other documentation details Compare your drawing to past results from reviews of other drawings Options available to check:  Check Active Document —Run the check to validate your document (drawing or model) against the requirement Check against Existing File —Validate the active document against design checks created from existing files Learn Checks Wizard —Retrieve design checks based on attributes from an existing SOLIDWORKS part, assembly, or drawing document To enable Design Checker in SOLIDWORKS  ...

SOLIDWORKS  Stack up Analysis is a mathematical calculation used to measure a gap and interference value between parts in an Assembly due to variation in its form, orientation and location. Stack up Analysis is an analytical reasoning tool used to decide the allowable value of interference or gap between parts from the key perspectives of its functional requirements in an assembly and its manufacturability. Why stack up is necessary To ensure all the part fits together in assembly To measure the Allowable value in form due to the variants in manufacturing To understand the worst case of the fit and form of all parts in an assembly For manufacturing the parts by assuring the allowable variation in size and location SOLIDWORKS  tolerance stack up analysis provides solution for finding the minimum and maximum deviation and root sum squared (RSS) tolerance analysis . Benefits: Well understanding of the functional requirement of the each part i...

Introduction Solidworks Multibody Sheet metal parts design allows to create multiple sheet metal bodies,of potentially different materials,within the same part file. Multibody sheet metal parts can consist of multiple sheet metal bodies or a combination of sheet metal and other bodies such as weldment bodies. Creating Flat pattern Drawing Views for Multiple Sheet Metal Bodies Drawing views can display entire  sheet metal or individual sheet metal multibody parts. In drawings Model view>Select bodies allows to create Flat pattern drawing view for individual Sheetmetal parts. 1.Click Model view , Browse the Sheet metal part file & Click Select Bodies 2.Select the individual Sheetmetal body graphically. 3.Click (A) Flat pattern ,Click to place on the drawing and Click OK.  

3D Interconnect in SOLIDWORKS 2017 delivers groundbreaking new capabilities for working with both neutral and native CAD data from various sources, unlocking powerful new work flows for us to collaborate with customers and vendors. By using SOLIDWORKS 3D Interconnect, we can now Maintain direct integration of native CAD files and we can Insert proprietary CAD data directly into a SOLIDWORKS assembly without converting it to a SOLIDWORKS file. Avoid fixing errors or problems due to SOLIDWORKS awareness of all components in the native CAD files, like face and edge Ids. Directly open imported files and treat them like Base Parts, so we can freely make design modifications without affecting the native file. Open the proprietary 3D CAD format in the SOLIDWORKS software with its associative link to the original part. Update changes in the SOLIDWORKS file if we update the proprietary CAD data in its authoring application by maintaining all downstream features created in SOLIDWOR...

You can use the Offset on Surface tool to offset 3D model edges as well as faces in a 3D sketch. Selecting a single edge will offset that edge. Multiple edge selections will offset the complete chain. You can adjust the offset using the dialogue box or just enter a value. At surface intersections, we can even flip the offset curve to the other side gives you a great flexibility in design.  We need to reduce some weight of this part and to simplify the complex surface, so let’s see how SOLIDWORKS 2017 can help us. It is now possible to offset curves on any surface. Previously, you had to create extra features for offsetting an edge.  To create sketch offsets on 3D geometry surfaces :  1. Open the part model.  2. Click Offset on Surface (Sketch toolbar) or Tools > Sketch Tools > Offset on Surface. 3. In the graphics area, select the edge as shown. 4. In the Property Manager:         a) Specify the value of Offset Di...
