It’s November and the school year is flying by! Now is the time to be thinking about the last quiz or exam you will give your students for your engineering design, simulation, or manufacturing course before year’s end. That is
... 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.
... 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.
