This is yet another trick to find the volume of a fluid, air, etc in SolidWorks; I seem to get asked this often, so I’d like to share all the different tips and tricks you can use to make your design experience faster and simpler.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the new Intersect<\/strong> command in SolidWorks 2013<\/a>, you can extract volumes in a snap. \u00a0And with a little help from the Join<\/strong> command, we can extend these command capabilities into your assemblies as well.<\/p>\n

As soon as I saw this command in SolidWorks 2013, I knew it could have helped with an old post I ran at the beginning of the year, titled “Design Studies in a Bottle.<\/a>” In it, I showed how to extract the volume of a bottle and then use Design Studies<\/strong> to monitor the fluid volume. Feel free to review that post here<\/a> if you’d like, and\/or watch the video walkthrough from it below.<\/p>\n
