BRING PARTS TO LIFE - FLEXIBLE COMPONENTS

Image
  Have you ever wanted to check the real time dynamic movement of a part in your 3D assembly? Look no further, SOLIDWORKS 2020 introduces a new capability which brings your part to LIFE. SOLIDWORKS prior to 2020 had the capability to show the working of a subassembly in the main assembly. Now with the new enhancement we can now also show the working a part in an assembly. Some of the practical examples include ·  Springs ·  Bellows ·  Hinges etc. SPRING BELLOW HINGE SPRING BELLOW HINGE With the new enhancement you can massively increase efficiency in visualizing and validating assemblies with motion. THANK YOU FOR READING!

Have the Things in your Hands!

Just imagine! What if you become the President of The United States of America? What if you could have a control on stopping the bullet train with 320kph within a second in some chances of critical situation? What if the UNO announces you to monitor the whole nations in the world? Very curious. Let we break it out. In 2013, SolidWorks has introduced one of the biggest assets to the management who handle large Designs.  We can also say it is one of the most welcome tool that meets our users and management’s expectation. The tool none other than is CAD ADMIN DASHBOARD. CAD Admin Dashboard would have a collection of details about the process and operations that are carried out in the Design area with respect to the graphical data representations. Let we have just three simple steps to attain the core capabilities of CAD Admin Dashboard and feel why the users sense this tool as an asset. STEP 1 CAD Admin Dashboard shall be seen in Customer Portal which is inside SolidWorks webs...

Methods to Effectively Reuse the Design Data

Image
Have we ever imagined how many workman hours we lose in trying to Reuse the Data which is supposed to be saving the time and money instead of losing them? It includes time spent on,  Searching right version of the data among many file versions created by our team members.  Finding missing references of data.  Recreating the File/Folder structure.  Maintaining Filenames/Folder names. The losses may sum up nearly the savings we make from data reuse. Hence it needs a system that is as much effective as possible to ease the pain and improve the Return of Investment spent on maintaining and reusing the older project files. The system we are proposing for this data reuse is SOLIDWORKS Product Data Management. Being a proven data management solution, SOLIDWORKS PDM provides excellent data management and reuse tools like Search tools, copy tree, Branching and Merging. SOLIDWORKS PDM Search Tools: The initial time-consuming process in data reuse is r...

SOLIDWOKRS TECH TIP - SOLIDWORKS PROPERTY TAB BUILDER

Image
The Property Tab Builder is a stand-alone utility that you use to create a customized interface for entering properties into SOLIDWORKS files. Traditionally, designer's use to modify the drawing template to insert custom property such as Description, Part No, Material, it’s a manual method. so, designers have to modify the custom property or metadata on each time, simultaneously BOM creation is also manual which increases a run time and errors in BOM table. It's also delayed the release of entire project. Three ways to create a customized interface for property template. In the SOLIDWORKS software, on the Custom Properties tab in the Task Pane, click Create now. In the SOLIDWORKS software, on the SOLIDWORKS Resources tab of the Task Pane, click Property Tab Builder From the Windows Start menu, click All Programs > SOLIDWORKS version > SOLIDWORKS Tools > Property Tab Builder version. To create the property tab, you will need to first create a new fil...

SOLIDWORKS VISUALIZE ADD-IN TO EXPORT MODELS FROM SOLIDWORKS

Image
SOLIDWORKS Visualize is a standalone software package designed to take 3D CAD data and transform it into photo-realistic images and animations that are ready for print and web in minutes. The intuitive interface allows even non-technical users to develop rich, life like visual content with ease. With more robust images, internal team members and external stakeholders can quickly select, validate, improve and market their best and most robust design concepts before committing precious time and resources to a product.  The SOLIDWORKS Visualize Add-in offers four options for exporting your active model from SOLIDWORKS to SOLIDWORKS Visualize.  To use the add-in, in SOLIDWORKS, click Tools > Add-in and select SOLIDWORKS Visualize. Export Simple This option provides you with fastest way to paint and take photos of a model you created in SOLIDWORKS. To achieve faster rendering, it minimizes the number of parts in the Visualize Scene Tree. Click Export S...
