FEA Tutorial: NAFEMS Benchmark Hemisphere Under External Pressure
NAFEMS Benchmarks, Hemisphere Under External Pressure in SolidWorks, allows you to explore creating a hemisphere in SolidWorks and analyzing the model using SolidWorks Simulation – all in the same interface. NAFEMS Benchmarks in SolidWorks contain a variety of exercises in Linear Static,
... ContinuedPipe Valve with SolidWorks Flow Xpress
For this post I decided to make a pipe valve. One of the reasons for doing this was because I wanted to use FloExpress through the pipe. You can see the results in the video above or
... ContinuedSolidWorks Drawings Keep on Truckin’
Using SolidWorks Drawings can save you time when design changes enevitably occur. The drawings I saw from the SAE team at Concordia Univerisity were amazing because they were placed on their Ford F150 truck! I asked Concordia's vice president Jimmy Stabio to
... ContinuedCollapsible Music Stand in SolidWorks
This assembly was a lot of fun to create. I used design tables to vary parameters on the struts and the rivets. This saves time and file size, as the same parts can be used several times in different configurations.
... ContinuedCan Opener
For this post I decided to make something that we all have used at least once; a can opener. There is a gear mate on the gears but if you want to have the handle move you will need
... ContinuedDetergent Bottle in SolidWorks
In learning more about SolidWorks surfacing, I decided to complete a fun, but fairly common project. The bottle is not based on any known design in particular, and I was careful to draw the profile myself, and to use a
... ContinuedFEA Tutorial: NAFEMS Steady State Temperature Distribution of a Plate in SolidWorks
SolidWorks contains tutorials based on the NAFEMS benchmarks. These benchmarks demonstrate the accuracy of SolidWorks Simulation software for the analysis modules of linear statics, thermal, geometric and material, non linearity and linear dynamics. NAFEMS benchmarks are used throughout many FEA examples
... ContinuedFEA Tutorial: Bending of A Cantilever Beam in SolidWorks
?SolidWorks Education Edition contains hundreds of FEA Tutorials right inside the software. I decided to talk about classic examples I did for my students in Engineering Mechanics – Statics and Engineering Physics. SolidWorks has Verification examples.and NA FEMs examples. These

It's Robocon 2011 and this year the international event takes place at MIT. If you are a fan of the MIT hack history, you will love this event. Years ago, I remember watching the 11pm local Boston news report on
... ContinuedSpiral Staircase
For this post I decided to design a spiral staircase. At first it seemed like an easy concept, but there were difficulties. Trying to make the treads was a lot harder than I thought. The problem was getting the treads
... ContinuedSolidWorks Student has a Dream
My colleague, Larry Moore introduced me to the wonderful final senior projects Industrial Design students create at the University of Cincinnati. One student, JudahSher, happened to take his final project to the next level and created his own company. The
... ContinuedSolidWorks for the ID – Industrial Design Student
Industrial Design Students create beautiful products in SolidWorks. They use Features such as Sweep, Loft, Freeform, Flex combined to design beautiful shapes. For former posts, I have placed tutorials and models under the Art category. Today, students told me that
