SOLIDWORKS Solutions Help Medical Research Center Speed Development, Improve Quality of New Fertility Diagnostic Tool
Getting new medical devices designed, tested, manufactured and ultimately approved by government regulatory agencies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is a grueling and very time-consuming process fraught with many challenges. Any tools that can help medical
... ContinuedElectric Vehicle Manufacturer Races to Market with SOLIDWORKS
While the media buzz proclaiming the imminent death of the internal combustion engine might be premature at this point, there is an end in sight. While the end of gas-powered cars won’t happen in the near term, many studies indicate that
... Continued2000 Feet Under: How Center Rock used SOLIDWORKS to Rescue a Group of 33 Chilean Miners
On August 2010, the Chilean mining accident shook the local and global community as 33 Chilean miners were trapped 2,300 feet underground. For 69 days, grief-stricken families worked to convince the Chilean government to continue drilling the ground until the
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS 2014 vs. SOLIDWORKS 2016
Though Back to the Future predicted the existence of drones, mobile devices, digital payment, hands-free game consoles, Nike self-lacing sneakers, video communication technology, hoverboards, and video glasses, even Doc and Marty McFly couldn’t anticipate the future of CAD. You can
... ContinuedSimulation Training videos now available at MySolidWorks

... ContinuedUn-boxing SOLIDWORKS Simulation
Many products come with a great un-boxing experience. Over the years I have realized that, today, companies are designing their packaging and content of the package with a very high level of detail. So do we, at Dassault Systemes SOLIDWORKS.
... ContinuedIntroducing the New SOLIDWORKS 2016 Ecosystem
As we launch SOLIDWORKS 2016, not only are we launching best-in-class CAD (SOLIDWORKS Standard, Professional and Premium), but also improved functionality for Electrical (2D Schematic and 3D), Simulation (Structural, Flow and Plastics), SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard and Professional (formerly EPDM), SOLIDWORKS
... ContinuedTesting an Anti-Shark Cage in SOLIDWORKS Simulation
As a child I was fascinated with sharks: whale sharks, hammerheads, makos, nurse sharks, whitetips, basking sharks and, of course, the mighty white great. I was basically a shark for shark information. I was a remorseless machine that would stop
... ContinuedWill Drafting Help a Road Cyclist? A Flow Simulation Study
I am an amateur road cyclist working on improving my speed. This involves not only raw muscle power but many smart tactics as well. Over a period of time, and as a part of my discovery-based learning, I was told
... ContinuedOxyArm: Engineering a Medical First with Durability Testing
This is part three of a multi-part series covering how medical device firm Southmedic used virtual simulation technology to bring OxyArm, the first open oxygen delivery system, to market. In part one, we covered how flow simulation was used to
... ContinuedStructural and Fluid Simulation for Oil & Gas Products
The design of oil and gas products presents many unique challenges. The first step for designers and engineers is to understand how an oil well works and how it is composed. In the figure below is a regular oil well.
... ContinuedThe Art of ‘Virtual’ Stone Skipping
After a seemingly never ending Winter, Spring has finally come to New England which means my dog walks can roam along the beautiful seacoast without the danger of being blown out to sea. One of my favorite beaches has an
... ContinuedMaterial analysis: your product depends on it!
This is part two of a multi-part series covering how medical device firm Southmedic used virtual simulation technology to bring OxyArm, the first open oxygen delivery system, to market. Part one, discussing how flow simulation determined optimal airflow and predicted
... ContinuedDesign Assemblies with Moving Parts Easily with SOLIDWORKS Motion
We all know that design changes are much easier and cheaper to make when we are in the early stages of the design process. The conventional design process approach generally identifies design-related problems and addresses them late in the design
