He talked about starting out as a tool-and-die guy when he was in college, and how he and his team are constantly pushing the limits of design technology to build everything from cutting-edge stereoscopic cameras to a submersible vehicle that he will personally pilot to the bottom of the Marianas Trench, the lowest known point on Earth. He also discussed how he&#8217;s working with NASA to design a camera system that will be used on a future nuclear-powered Mars lander. It was interesting to hear the person responsible for the two highest-grossing movies of all time discuss how FEA is to him, especially on his deep-sea projects.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, the SolidWorks certification team rolled out a new advanced level of certification. The Certified SolidWorks Expert certification goes above and beyond the CSWP to cover many of the advanced features in SolidWorks. You can learn more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solidworks.com\/cswe\">on the SolidWorks website<\/a>, and I also had a chance to sit down with certification specialist Mike Puckett to talk about the test.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"475\" height=\"288\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/8oPbCXbEdUU&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\"\/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"\/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"\/><embed src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/8oPbCXbEdUU&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"475\" height=\"288\"\/><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The big news out of general session today was (obviously) James Cameron talking to the 5000 attendees.
