IUPUI Honors Educator Doug Acheson for His Dedication to Student Success
This month, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) honors Doug Acheson, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Technology, Purdue School of Engineering and Technology, for exemplary dedication to student development and awarding over 1000 accredited SOLIDWORKS certifications. During a surprise visit,
... ContinuedLesson 1: SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE CST Studio Suite
From SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD, save your model to the 3DEXPERIENCE cloud platform through the SOLIDWORKS Task Pane. Review a fraction of the CST Studio Suite. CST stands for Computer Simulation Technology. The CST Studio Suite software is a 3D Electromagnetic (EM) analysis package. The Suite (For Education) consists of a collection of modules and solvers.

Innovation in education resonates with educators at Hokkaido Hakodate Technical High School in Hokkaido, Japan. The school moto is “independent creation.” We got to visit with Principal Daizon Fujikawa and his students on this independent, innovative approach in education. Note:
... ContinuedPlastics Lesson 2: SOLIDWORKS Brush Handle and 3DEXPERIENCE Plastic Injection App
From SOLIDWORKS, save the Brush Handle part to the platform for cloud storage and PLM security. Investigate the Plastic Injection App to simulate Fill, Pack, Warp in a two-shot molding process. Refine the mesh. Use the Physics Results Explorer app to review the total displacement contour plot.
... ContinuedPlastics Lesson 1: SOLIDWORKS and the 3DEXPERIENCE Plastic Injection App
In this lesson, simulate the injection molding of the SOLIDWORKS part, Switch Plate made from a single material using the Plastic Injection App on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. From SOLIDWORKS, save the part to the platform, introduce PLM concepts of Lock and Revision. From the SOLIDWORKS Task Pane, us the Plastics Injection App to define the Finite Element Model, material, domain and fill rate. Review the simulations, Fill, Pack + Cool, and Warp. Use animation of the Warp simulation to show the displacement contour plot.
... ContinuedCFD Lesson 7: SOLIDWORKS Enclosure and 3DEXPERIENCE Fluid Scenario Creation
In this SOLIDWORKS assembly save your model to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and manage your data with PLM attributes. Define two physics conditions to investigate internal turbulent air flow from a fan and thermal effects from a Heat sink and a chip. Use different mesh types and materials to explore capacity, simulation run time, and accuracy. Display and review the Gauge Pressure, Velocity and Temperature contour plot. Examine the temperature at different points throughout the chip, Heat sink and enclosure using a XY Plot from Path.

Today’s story in technical education is given to us by our SOLIDWORKS reseller partner, PLM Group, Gerli Parve, Marketing Specialist and Martin Johansson, Early Engagement Team Leader. The small Estonian town of Kadrina recently hosted the 14th iteration of CADrina,
... ContinuedCFD Lesson 6: SOLIDWORKS Race Car and 3DEXPERIENCE Fluid Scenario Creation
How do you inspire students with fluid dynamics and the physics and math behind Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) ? The SOLIDWORKS Race Car external turbulent flow example can be done in a lab period. By simplifying the mesh, understanding model size in a boundary box, and tradeoffs between capability, time, and accuracy, you can make a virtual twin of a wind tunnel test. David starts with SOLIDWORKS and introduces PLM through the 3DEXPERIENCE Add-In. From the SOLIDWORKS Task Pane, use the Fluid Scenario Creation App to define the model, scenario and get results.
... ContinuedCFD Lesson 5: SOLIDWORKS Duct and 3DEXPERIENCE Fluid Scenario Creation (Part 2)
From the SOLIDWORKS Task pane, launch the Fluid Scenario Creation App to open the Duct created in the previous lesson . Display a cross-section of the mesh and explore the Mesh Visualization options. Create two mass flow sensors to prove a successful converged study. Add streamlines with a new material, Nitrogen and plot Gauge Pressure and Velocity. After a successful simulation, return to SOLIDWORKS.
