Educators. It’s Your Time to Shine – Share Your SOLIDWORKS Expertise at 3DEXPERIENCE World 2024 We love to hear educators’ stories both in and out of the classroom. You and your students are what makes this event extraordinary! 3DEXPERIENCE WORLD
... Continued10 Tips for Teaching Engineering, Physics and Applied Math Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation Tutorials
Are you new to teaching or an experience educator? When I got hired at Mass Bay Community College, the engineering dean said, “You are assigned four courses. You can teach anything – right? Class starts in 1 week.” Of course
... ContinuedAnalysis Lesson 3: SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation Linear Structural Validation Part 2
In the previous lesson, we created a linear structural simulation study using SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation technology. Now modify the study and create new Simulation contour plots. Review the plots to interpret the results for Von Mises Stress, Factor of Safety, Reaction Force and Displacement.
... ContinuedI am Teaching a SOLIDWORKS Class – Top 10 SOLIDWORKS Resources for Educators
My friend Scott is teaching a new SOLIDWORKS-based course at a local university. I wanted to share my answers to his questions with you and add some valuable resources for the new instructor or a seasoned educator. What is SOLIDWORKS?
... ContinuedAnalysis Lesson 2: SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation Linear Structural Validation Part1
Why do I teach my first year engineering students about simple stress analysis using 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation? I want them to get excited about their more advanced classes over the next 4 years. Learning the theory to derive complex formulas to understand the variables is essential, but getting early exposure to simulation software, brings theory to reality with instant visualizations and what-ifs. This shows the students the potential of using simulation in the real world. In this lesson, learn the proper workflow to upload a SOLIDWORKS part to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and perform a Static Linear Simulation study using the Abaqus solver.
... ContinuedAnalysis Lesson 1: SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation for Diving Board
Why do I teach my freshmen about simple stress analysis using 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation? I want them to get excited about their advanced classes over the next 4 years.
Learning the theory to derive complex formulas to understand the variables is essential, but getting early exposure to simulation software, brings theory to reality with instant visualizations and what-ifs. This shows the students the potential of using simulation in the real world. Begin with a SOLIDWORKS model and explore 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation workflow for a structural domain.
3DEXPERIENCE Works Lesson 9: SOLIDWORKS and 3DSwym Communities
3DSwym is your communication center on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. It’s a communication tool built with design teams in mind. The 3DSwym App is the Social and Collaborative App for students, engineers, scientists and other professionals to view, participate, and create in Communities of common interests. Only a web-browser and a 3DEXPERIENCE ID is required.
... ContinuedFun with 3DEXPERIENCE Physics Simulation for Engineering Students
July is “learning month” for Dassault Systèmes’ employees. But I thought it would be nice to share with all engineering students our 3DEXPERIENCE Physics Simulation playlist on YouTube. It doesn’t matter if you are just about to start your engineering journey
... ContinuedDeep Local Technology Apprenticeships for Black Pittsburgh Develop Job Skills
Job Skills. Employment. Retraining. Words we hear over again. We need qualified designers and machinists. We need training for young adults that need skill sets for great jobs. The Deeplocal organization is a group of creative engineers who invent interactive
... ContinuedUC Louvain Belgium Students Build Mechatronics Skills in Eurobot Competition
Engineering students from Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium are ready for this year’s Eurobot Autonomous Robot Competition. To prepare for competition, UC Louvain’s project became an integral part of the students training as engineers in electromechanical – mechatronics. Five teams created
