Technical Support FAQ: Share a Sketch, Stored Files and Saving Native Files
Can SOLIDWORKS share sketches between different part and assembly files? The easiest way to share a sketch is to create a Sketch Block. A Sketch Block turns individual sketch entities into a group or block. Sketch Blocks can be saved
... ContinuedFlow Simulation – How to Handle a Vortex Across a Pressure Boundary
What is a “Vortex Across a Pressure Boundary?” In Flow Simulation, a vortex is a region in the fluid domain which causes a swirl in a region where there is asymmetric drag in the flow field. The vortex itself is

Your Summertime Grilling Needs a Dash of Reverse Engineering June 20 marks the first day of summer and for my father-in-law, Mark, it’s the first day of grilling season. Mark absolutely loves to grill. In fact, to prepare for the season,
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Simulation – Using Specific Displacement in Design
Designers are often given scenarios where there is a displacement limit in the design but they need to either find the amount of force that will be required to reach that displacement or the displacement limit and force is known
