An Overview of ScanTo3D in SOLIDWORKS
Starting in 2016 for SOLIDWORKS Professional (Premium for 2015 versions and older), there is a great add-in that works for those who need to transfer physical objects into a 3D model. The add-in is called ScanTo3D. For users who need
... ContinuedHow to use SOLIDWORKS FloXpress
Every SOLIDWORKS version provides the ability to run basic internal flow analyses of geometry using the FloXpress tool. As long as your model has one inlet, one outlet and one internal cavity this can be achieved. For more information on
... ContinuedIntroduction to Cabinetry in SOLIDWORKS: Multibody Parts
In this 3 part tutorial, Jamie, one of Cadtek’s application engineers, gives us an introduction to cabinetry in SOLIDWORKS. This first tutorial will look at using Multibody Parts. Create anything from kitchen cabinets to wardrobes with greater efficiency using Smart Parts. Using this
... ContinuedThe New Blended Curvature-Based Meshing Algorithm
We all know running a successful analysis using SOLIDWORKS Simulation requires a good mesh of our geometry. As far as generating a mesh is concerned, the SOLIDWORKS meshing command has traditionally offered us two options: the Standard mesh and the
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Visualize Auto Animation
There are a few different animating tools within Visualize Professional but in this blog we will use the watch to illustrate the power of the automatic rotation animations, a method of doing quick and easy rotation animations with little effort.
