SOLIDWORKS Support Monthly News – October 2017
Hello to all, Welcome to this new edition of the SOLIDWORKS Support Monthly News, coauthored by members of the SOLIDWORKS Technical Support teams worldwide. SOLIDWORKS 2018 can tell you when an available hotfix or service pack solves a crash you
... ContinuedThe Longest Scoring Shot in the History of the NBA in SOLIDWORKS Motion
On February 17, 2001, a basketball game was played between the Hornets and the Bucks. It was in this game that a world record was set. As time expired in the third quarter, a teammate passed the ball to Baron
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Simulation Vs. SimulationXpress
Every version of SOLIDWORKS contains SimulationXpress capability to carry out first pass stress analysis on your parts. If you are lucky enough to have SOLIDWORKS Premium, then you also get the linear static analysis simulation add-in. In addition to this,
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Motion Study: Controlling the Roll
Introduction Have you ever rolled a dice and hoped for a specific number to show up? Because I know I have! With lots of roll playing games, using dice of various shapes and sizes I decided it would be fun
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Simulation Quick Tip: Prescribed Displacements
When setting up an analysis in SOLIDWORKS Simulation, we typically think of applying forces or other loads and calculating the resulting stresses and displacements as our outputs. However, in situations where the forces may not be known, an expected displacement
... ContinuedMultiple processor cores and FEA: Good or bad?
There’s a lot of information scattered around the net regarding the usefulness of multiple core processors for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in SOLIDWORKS Simulation. So what exactly is the optimum number of cores for FEA? Good question! There are some areas
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation – Ski Jumping
Let’s find out the optimal forward lean angle for a Ski jumper in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation to help him get the longest jump in his life! In this article we will try to determine the value of a lift force
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Simulation: Get connected with Contacts
One of the big advantages of the SOLIDWORKS Simulation products is the possibility to test assemblies. This gives you a better understanding of the behaviour of parts during different loading types in an assembly. An important part of the study
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Simulation: What is Stress and Strain?
Stress and Strain are the two building blocks of structural analysis. They are what we use to understand where a component is in relationship to material failure, sharing a close relationship. So close that sometimes their definitions both contain each
