Introduction SOLIDWORKS Plastics is used for both part designers and mold designers. In this blog, you can get information on how this technology can help in creating and optimizing parts, single and multi cavity and family mold layouts. SOLIDWORKS Plastics SOLIDWORKS Plastics most useful for Injection Molding setup organization. Validate and visualize the melted Plastic Flow on the parts and molds. Improvise the part quality by predicting manufacturing defects in the initial stages of the design. Have alternate polymer material selection during the design phase using plastic simulation Create variations among your plastic designs and test virtually before the manufacturing stage. Steps involved in testing your Plastic Parts: Draft Analysis Meshing Applying Polymer (Material) Gate Location Run the Analysis Results Report Generation SOLIDWORKS Plastics contains vast material a...

One of the best sheet metal enhancements in SOLIDWORKS 2016 is the ability to add Cut Features to a Swept Flange and have those features map correctly to the Flat Pattern. Although the Swept Flange tool is a wonderful part of the Sheet Metal toolset, I have had many users comment about how frustrated they were that they could add Cut and Hole Features to their Swept Flanges and see them in their formed views but the hole features were missing in their Flat Pattern when it was time to send the part out to the Punch Press or Laser Cutter! SOLIDWORKS 2015 Sheet Metal Swept Flange Flat Pattern Above is a Sheet Metal part created in SOLIDWORKS 2015, the part is made using a Swept Flange and two Cut features. You can see when the part is flattened the two Cut Features do not propagate to the Flat Pattern and disappear from the view, this would usually result in having to add the Cut Features to the Flat Pattern separately which results in a potential loss in accuracy and adding valu...

To ensure greater accuracy for digital simulation or to produce a 3D printed prototype, it’s often necessary to model the physical threads on shafts and holes, among many other features. To create a thread in previous versions of SOLIDWORKS, we had to manually create a profile and a helix for creating a swept cut. This process has now been automated with a new Thread tool in SOLIDWORKS 2016 . The new Thread tool allow us to create helical threads on cylindrical faces using profile sketches. Now, this feature is very flexible, allowing us to specify the start thread location, an offset, end conditions, the type, size, diameter, pitch and rotation angle, and even choose options like right-hand or left-hand thread. We can also create our own custom thread profiles like weldment profile. SOLIDWORKS allow us to store our custom thread profile as a library feature. The default location where these are saved can be modified at Tools > Options > System Options > File Locations . ...

Living Environment System A living system should maintain and balance the optimum room temperature. Heat balance in a living room is very important from the energy consumption perspective to influence the essential temperature parameters. The purpose of an air conditioner is to maintain a comfortable indoor environment. The comfort system is usually determined by a combination of three factors: Temperature Humidity Air distribution Air Conditioning Purpose: For this reason the main purpose of air conditioners are to: Control room temperatures (cooling/heating) Control room humidity levels (drying, humidifying) Optimise air flow (circulation, distribution) Clean Air (filtration) Introducing HVAC Flow Simulation: HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) is an integrated module...
