Hello from the world of SolidWorks Simulation, my name is Tony Eckersley and yes I really do look like that picture in real life. Thanks Justin!! <\/span><\/p>\n

Let me introduce myself first, I live in the North West of England and whenever possible help our resellers provide the highest level of service to customers who want to branch out into simulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am actually new to SolidWorks and so in the past few weeks I have been out and about visiting a number of customers who are interested in starting down the simulation route \u2013 and a few who are already there. I thought I\u2019d start by sharing a little anecdote with you that will get us going. There is one common and fundamental question that keeps coming up when people think about using simulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/font>\u201cHow do I know my answers will be right?\u201d<\/span> <\/o:p><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Good question really isn\u2019t it, after all if you can\u2019t be sure of this, why bother at all? In reality though, there are two important things that are overlooked and usually make it alright on the night. <\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, the resellers work very hard to provide you with training to make sure you know how to use the tools properly and support you once you've begun. I know this because I\u2019ve seen the effort they put in! They will help you get started in the right direction \u2013 whatever that requires.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, whenever I show a customer a simulation that isn\u2019t doing what they expect, it doesn\u2019t take more than a few seconds before someone points it out. That tells me one thing. You<\/span> know your products better than anyone else (handy really) and this knowledge normally tells you if everything is running along pretty smoothly, or if you need to seek a bit of help. <\/span><\/p>\n

In reality, with all the help on hand, it\u2019s never usually that difficult to get into the swing of things and then you are ready to take on the world. Well, that\u2019s how I look at it anyway. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
