Rapid Weight Loss with SolidWorks Optimization

In today’s competitive landscape, keeping costs down without sacrificing quality is paramount. But how can we minimize costly materials used in a design and still ensure it functions correctly? In this transfer mechanism seen below, we need to remove material from the bracket castings and torsion tube. But how do we find [...]

I’ve got the power!

In my webcast today on Event-Based Simulation I showed how SolidWorks revolutionizes the way controls and CAD modeling work together. This approach allows you to directly integrate your models with the behaviors you desire, bringing mechanical and electrical design to the forefront while maintaining machine controls flexibility. EBS accomplishes this in a novel [...]

SustainabilityXpress

SustainabilityXpress is part of SolidWorks 2010 and available for SolidWorks 2009 on SolidWorks Labs. It is a compelling illustration of SolidWorks Corporation’s revolutionary effort to promote eco-friendly design. If you’re a skeptic of the green design movement, you might still find the software useful for its ability to suggest similar materials.
I have just uploaded my [...]
