Learn something new in our 22-minute webinars
Have you ever wanted to learn about new features in SolidWorks, but just didn't have the time? We're all busy these days, and devoting an hour ot more to a screencast or webinar isn't always possible. So the brain trust
... ContinuedThe Importance of Material Properties in Analysis with SolidWorks Simulation
Have you ever considered the importance of Material Properties to your Finite Element solution? What about the accuracy of the data provided by material vendors? As Designers and Engineers, we are used to dealing with tolerances….What will happen to the Finite Element solution if one material property varies?
... ContinuedAn engineer—and SOLIDWORKS Plastics—on the beach
A couple of weeks ago I spent a very pleasant week down in Fort Lauderdale, and while enjoying a drink with far too many bits of fruit and umbrellas for me to be completely comfortable, I found myself looking over
... ContinuedStudents get a career advantage with the new SolidWorks Education Edition for 2012-2013
It's that time of year. The weather is getting warmer, the trees are green again, and we're announcing the newest version of our SolidWorks Education Edition for the 2012-2013 calendar year. The new Education Edition is based on SolidWorks Premium
... ContinuedSimulating The Repair Of Sports Injuries with SolidWorks Simulation
We're all used to hearing about footballers and other professional athletes damaging their cruciate ligament or suffering some other tendon injury. I remember being told once that they can repair this by cutting away more of the damaged tendon, and
... ContinuedAmtrak keeps the trains running on time–with help from SolidWorks
I occasionally take the Acela Express when I need to visit New York City. From where I live outside of Boston, the trip is just as quick as driving to Logan, flying into LaGuardia, and taking a cab into Manhattan.
... ContinuedPlaying The Hunger Games with SolidWorks Simulation
If you have children of a certain age, then right now your life is all about Katniss Everdeen and The Hunger Games. If you don’t know the story, essentially it’s about a sixteen year old girl trying to survive a
... ContinuedSee how nonlinear analysis helps represent part behavior under different conditions
One of the powerful tools of SolidWorks Simulation Premium is the ability to test designs that undergo large deformations or have varying material properties with loads. Until recently, most finite element analysis (FEA) applications undertaken by design engineers were limited to linear
... ContinuedIntroducing SolidWorks Plastics
Take a minute and look inside your refrigerator. Have you ever wondered how the crisper bins were created? Let’s try another appliance. Have you ever thought about how the knobs on your washer or dryer were created? These items make
... ContinuedValidate your designs without making physical prototypes–see how in our Video Vault
SolidWorks offers a full suite of simulation and validation packages that let you set up virtual real-world environments so you can test your product designs before manufacture. You can test against a broad range of parameters throughout the design process—like
... ContinuedSolidWorks Education hosts Regional NASCAR STEM Student Racing Challenge
STEM – Science Technology Engineering and Math. If you combine these subjects with RC Racing, Tony Schumacher – U.S. Army Top Fuel Dragster and seven-time champion and SolidWorks customer, 25 engineers from the US army and community, along with a great
... ContinuedMotorcycle buliders are getting into gear with SolidWorks
Happy spring from the team at SolidWorks! For many of our customers, spring heralds the beginning of motorcycle season, so we hope you’re out there soaking up the sunshine on the open road. Following up on the fun at last
... ContinuedSupersonic Sky Diving with SolidWorks Simulation
I have been reading about Felix Baumgartner’s attempt on the world skydiving altitude record, held for the last 50 years by Joseph Kittinger. Felix plans to jump from a gondola attached to a helium balloon at 120,000ft (or 36,500 meters),
... ContinuedWhen “Form Follows Simulation”
We all know that the function of a product should be the primary emphasis for design, however I believe a new design paradigm is emerging – I call it, “form follows simulation.”
... ContinuedLearn something new about SolidWorks in our Demo LIbrary
I know that there are lots of SolidWorks experts out there, but how many of you really know everything there is to know about the applications? Have you ever really dug into Flow Simulation? Or really mastered SolidWorks Sustainability? If
