DraftSight 2020 Automatic Add & Arrange Dimensions

Image
For the past few years DraftSight has introduced a lot of productivity enhancement tools, likewise in 2020 also they introduce automatically add & arrange dimensions. Dimension drawings automatically to save hours of time per drawing, improve consistency and reduce manual tedious tasks. Steps: 1.  Select All Entities > Right-Click > Dimension Bounding Box >   Create 2.  Type AUTODIMENSION > In the Properties Pane, select the entities for Horizontal Dimension scheme, Vertical Dimension scheme, Dimension Placements and   Origin 3.  At the bottom of the property pane > Preview and   Apply. 4.  For Auto-Arrange Dimensions, Goto Annotate Tab > Select Auto Arrange, Alias –ARRANGEDIMESIONS > Specify the spacing value in the Dimension Palette and use the Thumbwheel to adjust the spacing of the   dimensions. I   believe   that   the   above   mentioned ...

Design for Manufacturability using SolidWorks Tools

Image
Design & Manufacturing Process Overview The design stage is considered the most crucial component in the product lifecycle process - the platform for the conception and development of new products. Approximately 80 percent or more of the lifecycle costs of a product are determined during the design stage. Companies are constantly fight the battle and pay the price of miscommunication between design and manufacturing departments. Finding errors and fixing defects during the design stage is the optimal way to achieve high quality and cost-effective products. Iterative Design Process In the iterative approach to the design process, the designer needs to receive early feedback from the manufacturing department to address any manufacturability concerns before the design is frozen. This methodology is ideal however it is generally only feasible in an environment where the manufacturing & design departments are co-located. With the “Design anywhere - Make anywhere” pr...

What is Pores Medium & How to Simulate it in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation?

Image
Material which contain Pores are called Porous material, the weight of the porous material is less when compared to the solid material. The porosity of the material is defined by the Porous size the is formed in the material, there are different techniques for manufacturing these type of material depending on the size of the porous void that to be formed. There are wide range of applications like  catalysis, chemical separations, tissue engineering  and exhaust manifold. In the exhaust manifold the harm full chemicals are removed by using porous material. There are different types of Porous material according to direction of flow 1.  Isotropic 2.  Non Isotropic( Unidirectional, Axisymmetric, Orthotropic ) There will be change in the pressure, velocity and direction of flow changes according to the porous medium, by using Solidworks flow simulation can simulate the flow. Steps for creating the Porous medium in Flow study: 1. Create the wizard b...

How to Work from home on your Design using SolidWorks?

Image
          There are many situations and probabilities where we are finding it necessary to work from Home on our design to complete our task, which distinct Possibility becomes for most of us each day.             Since many countries are in lockdown in an effort to control the spread of pandemic Corona Virus COVID-19, many people all around the world are supposed to work from home to undergo their Design and Development. We as EGS and SolidWorks community, ensure our customers wanted to continue their work productively and efficiently using SolidWorks irrespective of the workplace.             There are a variety of toolsets in SolidWorks which help us to work, though we are out of Office. Let's begin, SolidWorks Licensing: Solidworks License plays an important role in work on software. Solidworks has 2 types of licensing, SolidWorks Standalone license SolidWorks Network License ...

          Using Paperless automation easy access to documents from anywhere in the world which will keep you to track on with proper business operations. seamless communication between employees is always in the updated data. Impacts : Workflow automation not only streamlines your business processes but also helps you to cutoff costs. Manual documentation will be a time-consuming process. Time is money! Just imagine how much time you could save and use it elsewhere in productively- if documents were located quickly. Manual data entry is usually plagued with human errors that cost time and money. Workflow automation solutions help you to eliminate human errors, thus boosting your business process. With automated technical data management is in use, you can track what tasks have been completed, by who and when. Records are kept throughout the process. Legacy data plays a huge role in your business. Documents can easily be shared among colleagues and a...

How to Get Realistic Output in Less Time - SOLIDWORKS Visualize

Image
The fastest and easiest way to create Realistic Photo Content with time-saving features.           To improve concepts that are viewed throughout the design, development and marketing phases. SOLIDWORKS visualize helps the user to select, validate, improve and sell the best and most robust design concept before committing expensive engineering, prototyping, and marketing re-source to the projects. It helps to reduce errors and ensures product get to the market faster, improving engineering design and sales review, helps to make more educated final decision which in turns drastically reduce cost and reduce the number of physical prototype that helps to achieve much more efficiently delivering the rendered content to marketing to promote new products via online or as a presentation content which allows added time saving for more design results in overall better final product. Without SOLIDWORKS Visualize the resultant will be like manufacturing the user end ...

Replace Wires With Equipotential In SOLIDWORKS Electrical

Image
Replacing Wires with Equipotential Existing wires can be replaced with wires of a different style selected from the Wire Style Selector Propagation to Equipotential All wires connected directly to the selected wire or wires will be replaced with Proper Equipotential properties. The Wire Style manger (Figure 1) shows the wires with different style. (Figure1. Wire style manager) In the below Power circuit, the default Power wires (N L1 L2 L3) are replaced with the custom power wire (Power_Phase 1) created in the Wire style manager. (Figure2. Wires with Default Wire style manager) Select the wires to be replaced and click “Propagation to Equipotential” under Replacement range in Replace wire Style shown below (Figure 3) (Figure3. Replacement range with Propagation to Equipotential) The above-selected default Power wires (N L1 L2 L3) are replaced with new Power wire (Power_Phase 1) with proper propagation to Equipotential (Figure 4) This type of wire repl...
