There is no direct way to disable this feature through the SNL Manager; however it can be controlled by use of an Options file. The option BORROW_LOWWATER can be used to prevent all users from being able to borrowing a license of a specified product from the SolidWorks network license. Example: If the SNL is having 4 Professional License. Then the option file should consist of the following syntax. (Based upon your requirement enter the number of licenses) Step 1 : Create a Notepad file with the above mentioned Syntax and save it with extension *.opt. Step 2 : Place this file in the same directory as sw_d.lic (the license file) on the server. The license file should be located in C:\Program Files\SolidWorks Corp\SolidNetWork License Manager\licenses. Step 3 : Go to SolidNetWork License Manager Server and Select Server Administration Tab. Step 4 : Click Modify button and Choose Activate/Reactivate a software license, Click Next Step 5 : Check the Option File Check Box and B...

Ramping up productivity and avoiding waste with SolidWorks Reman Engineering began operations in 1989 in Namakkal, India, the “Poultry City” of Tamilnadu, India’s second-largest egg-producing region. The company makes mash plants, pellet plants, batching machines, batching scales, feed silos, and transport silos for the poultry industry. They also manufacture sheet metal and structural works to customer specifications. Reman Engineering manufactures and markets poultry feed mills and raw material batch machines according to rigorous quality control guidelines and in compliance with globally recognized quality standards for the industry. Their practices have made a strong impact on India’s pet food industry. Challenge: Standardize the design of feed mills of various sizes and reduce raw material waste and rework Solution: Adopt SolidWorks software for fully associated parts, assemblies, and drawings to incorporate new ideas into configurations and avoid rework and wa...

SolidWorks toolbox consist of numerous standard part models which helps us to reduce the most valuable design time in only creating custom parts.in the competitive world its necessary for us to shorten the process time between the drawing board room to the tool room. Even though having handful of standard parts.there is a need to add custom components to the toolbox. SolidWorks provides us a opportunity to add custom made components to the toolbox. 1. Create the part models along with its required configurations and save the models in the desired location. 2. Go to Start > All programs > Toolbox Settings 20nn and click customize your hardware. 3. Right click on the standard folder and select ”New folder”.Sub folders can also be created.Add a name to the folder. 4. Select the newly created folder and select “Add File”. 5. Custom Properties and standard colour can be defined. 6.As the Standard parts are created,This can be drag and dropped from the Design Library...

SolidWorks gives the user with good functionality on knurling operation for their specific applications. When applying these kind of features, we need not specify it really on the model but apply it for virtual purposes. For the CAD representation, this appearance can be applied on a part & assembly. Applying Knurling to the model: 1. Download High Quality Images Like .jpeg, .png, .bmp, .tiff 2. Adding file location to the design library appearances tabs 3. Drag & Drop in the virtual graphics area by selecting the reference face 4. By pressing the Alt key, auto enabling of scale ratio is done Benefits: 1. Decreasing the no. of features involved in doing the knurling operation 2. Better visualization with 3D graphics area on the components 3. Cutting down the rebuild time for realistic views

The methods of joining components together is becoming quite simple among the designers during the design process . The component joining methods can either be a welding, bolting or adhesives etc. This job becomes more easy on the assembled components prioritizing the material specifications with its respective thickness & sizes. In a cost effective way SolidWorks offers the designers to understand all these problems relating to weld sizing or the right choice of Bolts. The Users can make use of the default options for Pins, Bolts, Springs, Welds & other connectors for assemblies. In Simulation , working with connectors is much easy to understand its behavior in our designs. The SolidWorks users can directly convert the smart components like Bolts & Nuts to Bolt connectors for analysis on assemblies. During the conversion process, the Head diameter, shank diameter & the pre-load conditions will automatically be taken into consideration. For the manual select...
