Relax and reduce hair loss–we have the solution for your top 7 fluid flow challenges
Do you want to tear your hair out because you a) have to scrap entire elements of your product design, b) spend days on rework, c) spend wads of money on prototypes or d) have to recall your products because
... ContinuedNectar Product Development Combines Elegance And Technology with SolidWorks
With the world’s fossil fuel supply decreasing, solar power is becoming a more popular and cost-effective options for American homebuyers, according to an article in the Huffington Post in August. Nectar Product Development is paving the way to the solar energy
... ContinuedNew in SolidWorks 2014: Residual Stress Analysis with SolidWorks Simulation and SolidWorks Plastics
In SolidWorks 2014, you can accurately analyze stress in injection-molded plastic parts under other structural loads, accounting for in-mold stresses and temperature changes. You can also account for the residual stress from injection molding, show part deformation from cooling to
... ContinuedDesign scenarios for fluid flow in SolidWorks Flow Simulation
A known value of CAD integrated simulation is to run “what if” scenarios as early as possible to find the best design and/or the design which fits your criteria. In SolidWorks Simulation, our users know well the tool called “Design
... ContinuedNew in SolidWorks 2014: Contact Pair Visualization in SolidWorks Simulation
SolidWorks 2014 includes the ability to naturally visualize all contacts and connections defined in a SolidWorks Simulation analysis to clearly understand contact relations between the different components of an assembly. This helps give you a clear understanding of what contacts
... ContinuedThe Unknown “Golden Tools” in SolidWorks Simulation
I visited a SolidWorks Simulation customer few weeks ago to get his feedback on using SolidWorks Simulation solutions. After a brief introduction of what they are designing and who is using which engineering tools, they showed me a pretty long
... ContinuedIncrease efficiency and eliminate rework by testing with SolidWorks Simulation
Sometimes you need to see something drawn out before you visualize it. Here are some issues you may have encountered in your production process: Have you ever designed a product, sent it over for production to test it out and
... ContinuedSolidWorks Simulation: How to Get the Angle of Displacement
A common question we often get regarding post processing of a SolidWorks Simulation study is: Does SolidWorks Simulation have a way of displaying displacement plots as angles of displacement in the case of a torsional load? SolidWorks currently does not
... ContinuedTractor Trailer Aerodynamics in SolidWorks Flow Simulation
As time progresses and fuel prices increase, you might have noticed some changes to the tractor trailers you see on the highway. Fairings on tractors have been common for quite a while; however, side skirts and extended “tails” on the
... ContinuedDesigning machines? Does Event Based Motion ring a bell?
One of the big challenges for machine designers is to understand and test how a design will interact in real life before it goes into production. There is no prototype in machine design. It’s a one-off– large and expensive, and
... ContinuedSolidWorks Simulation: Transient Sensors
In SolidWorks 2013, now you can define sensors which can store transient data from thermal simulations, drop tests, non-linear simulations and dynamics simulation. Due to nature of simulations which support transient data, this new sensor is supported in SolidWorks Simulation
... ContinuedJL Marine Drops Anchor With Help From SolidWorks
Summer is back at the office in Waltham, MA – we can finally enjoy the warm, sunny outdoors. Some of you may be busy firing up the grill or planning your next fishing adventure on the lake. Even though my fishing
... ContinuedSimulation Tip: Verify Your SolidWorks Simulation Results Quickly & Easily
Have you ever wondered, after running a SolidWorks Simulation study, whether or not your results are correct?
... ContinuedSolidWorks Simulation Tips: Parameters and Design Studies
In my opinion, one of the most underutilized tools in SolidWorks Simulation is the Design Study. Design studies allow you to easily set up a number of ‘what if’ scenarios and run them all with the click of a button.
