... ContinuedIntroduction to Composites
A composite material is a mixture of two or more materials. This is usually a stiff unidirectional fiber combined with a softer matrix element. The goal of such a mixture gets more desirable overall properties that each individual material could

... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation: Flow Freezing
Reaching a Steady-State SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation allows for the simulation of steady-state and transient heat transfer problems. A steady-state analysis is run to determine how the heat transfer of a system stabilizes (i.e. becomes unchanging). A steady-state solution does not
... ContinuedDart Heads Improved Using SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation
I doubt there is anyone on this planet that would dare say they do not like toy Dart Guns. It’s hard to explain why it’s so much fun to successfully hit another object with a projectile. It’s too bad that

Who, What, When, Where, Why…and How Much? You’re scraping the internet to learn what the Admin Portal is, right? New in SOLIDWORKS 2018, you now have access to a new utility called Admin Portal. This is not to be confused
... ContinuedAutomatically Update Beam Joints
Prior to SOLIDWORKS 2017 In previous versions of SOLIDWORKS, changes to models involving beam elements would result in an error when SOLIDWORKS Simulation was re-activated. It would notify the user to edit the beam joints – as seen in the
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Simulation: An Explanation of the Global Contact Option
What is the Global Contact Condition and how does it work? Often times, users call-in to ask for SOLIDWORKS Simulation advice on why their model is not stable. In many cases, I see right away that they have deleted their
