Are you seeing double or triple within your SOLIDWORKS display? Or, is the feature tree too magnified or shrunken? If the images below look familiar, and you are seeing this on a regular basis with your graphics area, then you may be a victim of SOLIDWORKS DPI scaling issues! If Scooby-Doo and the gang suffered…
As a TriMech Solutions Consultant, I interact with SOLIDWORKS users almost daily. Every so often, I recommend the Free SOLIDWORKS Tutorials, and I am surprised to find that many SOLIDWORKS users do not know their installation comes with free, built-in tutorials. Whether you are a brand new SOLIDWORKS user just learning the basics, or a…

Drawings are crucial for communicating the precise dimensions of your part and/or assembly. Understanding and controlling precision is therefore critically important. Users can easily find it frustrating and confusing when trying to manipulate these values. In this blog, we will look at some dimension precision troubleshooting. Let’s first take a look at four places where…
When people are using smart mates in SOLIDWORKS for the first time, they often don’t see an immediate improvement in their mating speed and may revert back to their comfort zone. I wanted to touch on some considerations that will hopefully change your mind about smart mates. Smart mates weren’t designed to be your only…
In SOLIDWORKS 2022, a new feature was added to the General User Interface that allows users to use colors in SOLIDWORKS exported sketches. This feature is particularly useful when creating presentation materials or when collaborating with others who may not have SOLIDWORKS installed on their machines. To use colors in exported sketches in SOLIDWORKS 2022,…
SOLIDWORKS assembly opening is comprised of different stages and performance checks. If foundational mating best practices aren’t applied when creating assemblies, they will build up over time and there will be noticeable slowdowns when working with them. If your assemblies are slow to work with, it’s likely suffering from symptoms of poor practices when they were…
Welcome back to “Physics Fun with Jamie”. SOLIDWORKS Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a powerful tool for simulating the effects of a drop on a product. The software can be used to perform a drop test study, which predicts the response of a product when dropped from a specified height. Here are some steps to…
After running a transient Flow Simulation study, frequency content or spectral information may be of interest. In SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, the fast Fourier transform (FFT) is used to convert the time signal to the frequency domain and the resulting FFT plot can be used to evaluate parameters such as time-dependent pressure data. Other resulting quantities that…
