The Dawn of the Mechatronics Product Designs
Product performance and capabilities are evolving exponentially, design and technologies are becoming more challenging, and market/business pressure are constantly mounting. These factors are driving the need for cohesive, adaptive design capabilities for today’s products that can only be produced effectively
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS PCB Powered By Altium: Innovative PCB Technology Unleashed
Collaboration is essential to today’s innovative and successful products. At the heart of SOLIDWORKS PCB is a set of tools designed to enable powerful and seamless collaboration with SOLIDWORKS. We’ve combined the best technology in PCB design with an easy-to-use
... ContinuedWhat is Real ECAD/MCAD Collaboration? Hint: It’s Not Exchanging Files
The traditionally siloed design experience between mechanical and electrical designers is now struggling to maintain its separation. The introduction of intelligently connected products and the seamless product experience is driving design processes to become more intertwined, connected, and collaborative than
... ContinuedIntegrating Your MCAD-ECAD Design Workflow
Every engineer knows the pitfalls that await when the electrical and mechanical sides of your design fail to integrate their workflows and data. A breakdown in communication leads to rising costs when it comes time for fabrication, with costly prototypes
... ContinuedThe SOLIDWORKS Ecosystem: Designing Connected Products
The highlight of the Consumer Electronic Show this year was a seemingly endless number of innovative connected products on display. While exploring the halls, I was able to try everything from appliances and wearables to drones of all shapes and
... ContinuedTake Electrical Design to the Next Dimension with SOLIDWORKS Electrical
One of the main complaints that I hear from electrical engineers is that the software they use to design schematics does not have the user (or electrical users) in mind. They have too many icons and were not truly developed
... ContinuedBreakthrough Cancer Treatment Through Innovative Design
As the portfolio manager for SOLIDWORKS Electrical, I have the opportunity to visit many companies and see many remarkable designs and products that our customers create. Recently, I visited ProNova and from the minute I walked in the building, I
... ContinuedNext Era of Electrical Innovation in SOLIDWORKS
As we innovate, what makes an idea or solution an evolutionary or revolutionary concept? In a recent article, I reviewed several historically significant milestones of electrical innovation and the way these inventions have transformed electrical design. From simple experiments performed
... ContinuedHow Electrical Engineers Moved from Paper Sketches to 3D
While researching for my article “Evolution or Revolution: The New Dimension in Electrical Design”, I came to the realization quickly that we take for granted the endless volumes of development that has taken place in a relatively short span of
