September’s Top 5 SOLIDWORKS Blog Posts
From 15 deep dives into SOLIDWORKS 2015 enhancements and posts covering our product managers’ favorite new features to a SOLIDWORKS 2015 introduction from CEO Bertrand Sicot, September blog content was heavy on SOLIDWORKS 2015. If you haven’t been able to
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Simulation: Mechanism Design
Designing mechanisms is a comparatively challenging task and needs fair amount of expertise. Normally designers use past experience, existing designs or manual sketches to conclude on a working mechanism. And ultimately they need to create multiple prototypes to ensure their
... ContinuedSimulating Fatigue Failure: It’s Like 1,000 Punches from My Grandmother!
When creating a product, every designer has a handful of questions in mind: Will my design withstand the warranty period for which it has been designed? Can I ensure that there are no warranty costs to the company? On the
... ContinuedTrend Tracker in SOLIDWORKS Simulation Standard
Great Engineering Design is about finding a solution that is not only functional but also close to optimal. For an engineer to improve a design, it is important to have easy-to-use simulation tools available that enable one to look at
... ContinuedAugust’s Top 5 SOLIDWORKS Blog Posts
It seems that much of the world is on holiday in August, so it’s understandable if you decided to tear yourself away from the SOLIDWORKS blogs for a few weeks. Certainly it was a difficult decision to make, but the
... ContinuedAll Together Now with Lukas Jönsson Engineering: A Manufacturer’s One-Stop Shop
The world seems to be getting smaller and smaller these days. Tech giants like Google and Apple are constantly cranking out tools we need to access any information we could desire. Over the past decade we have experienced innovation and ingenuity
... ContinuedHow to Easily Democratize Simulation Results
Last year, I attended a conference about Simulation & Analysis during which a senior engineer mentioned in his presentation that he has a hard time sharing Simulation results to colleagues and non-simulation users. He explained that too often Simulation results
... ContinuedRecently in…Summer Tech
Summer is in full swing. For many, July and August are full of holidays, staycations, sports, and watching big-budget movie blockbusters. Whether your activity of choice is as simple as running through a lawn sprinkler or experiencing a film in
... ContinuedThe Art of Simulation Data Management
Manufacturing industries are increasing the use of simulation tools to better understand and validate product behavior. Fortunately this shift toward analysis has led to more informed design decisions. However, I have always wondered how companies that adopt aggressive design simulation
... ContinuedWorld Cup: Simulating Stadium Foot Traffic in SOLIDWORKS
Have you ever watched a large group of people on the move? From on high you can see the people moving around obstacles, creating pools of stationary traffic and choke points where the traffic slows to a crawl before accelerating
... ContinuedFootball Opener: Simulating a Free Kick in SOLIDWORKS
After several years of preparation, the world’s most prestigious international football competition is on and footballers are ready to tackle the largest and most important tournament of their lives. The entire planet will focus on Brazil for the next month,
... ContinuedGetting Fruit to Market with SOLIDWORKS
‘Tis the season to load up on fresh fruits here in the Northeast. My diet improves each spring/summer when it’s cheaper and easier to find fresh fruit in the supermarket. So, it got me wondering… how does all that produce
... ContinuedHow can I be more efficient with my Structure Design & Validation Process?
Last Saturday I attended a workshop on a well-known software specialized for steel & reinforced concrete structure design and analysis. After attending this session, I had a clear understanding that the SOLIDWORKS workflow can improve structure design and validation processes
... ContinuedFor Star Trek Fans It’s the Dawn of a New Era thanks to Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
In many ways, living in Boston is just like living in Silicon Valley. The city is teeming with technological innovation and cutting-edge research coming from the communities surrounding top universities such as MIT and Harvard University. Everywhere you go, whether
... ContinuedHow accurate is FEA and CFD simulation?
A question I have been asked throughout the years when presenting Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to many companies is: How accurate is FEA and CFD simulation? While the question seems simple, the answer is not.
