SOLIDWORKS Tech Tip
SOLIDWORKS Tech tip created by the team of Certified Experts at Javelin
It is a story we hear time and again from customers: They take the time and effort to download the correct certified driver for SOLIDWORKS from the SOLIDWORKS certified list, only to have a Windows update come along and displace that driver with the “Latest & Greatest”, which in many cases, turns out to be…
In my last post I discussed all of the unnecessary, auxiliary processes that may be running on your system. Items such as update utilities, that generally present themselves as Icons within your System Tray or Notification Area (near your clock in the Windows Taskbar). In an effort to stop the bleeding of system resources I…
Library Feature Parts (.sldlfp) are pre-defined SOLIDWORKS features that can be reused in other parts and assemblies. Saving a file as a Library Feature Part can save you time and effort in creating complex features, such as holes or cuts, that are frequently used in your designs. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to…
Welcome back to “Physics Fun with Jamie”. A static study in SOLIDWORKS FEA is used to analyze the behavior of a structure under a static load. It can help engineers determine if a design is capable of withstanding the loads it will experience in its operating environment. Here are some steps to follow when setting…
SOLIDWORKS zebra stripes are a powerful tool that allow you to visualize and analyze the curvature of your models. They are especially useful for identifying areas of your model that may have uneven surfaces or irregularities that could impact the performance of your design. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to use zebra stripes…
The fit spline tool in SOLIDWORKS is a powerful feature that allows users to create smooth and precise curves that accurately represent a desired shape. The fit spline tool is particularly useful for creating organic and complex shapes, such as those found in product design or industrial design. Step 1: Activate Fit Spline To use…
Welcome back to “Physics Fun with Jamie” series. SOLIDWORKS FEA (Finite Element Analysis) is a powerful tool for simulating and analyzing the behavior of structures and mechanical components. However, obtaining accurate results in SOLIDWORKS FEA can be challenging, and there are several best practices that you should follow to ensure that your simulations are as…
Methods for Opening and Inserting Models in SOLIDWORKS from the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides significant flexibility when working with data. The powerful search functionality with filters and tags makes it quick to find the model. Bookmark Editor helps organize projects making it easy to browse for components. More information can be found in our Managing CAD Data on 3DEXPERIENCE series. There are many options on…
ENHANCEMENT REQUEST! Tell SOLIDWORKS What You Want in their Software
Every SOLIDWORKS user at one time or another has likely found themselves working with the software and caught themselves thinking, “it would be great if it could do this”, or, “it would be awesome if it had this feature!” Well, I have good news! You can directly tell SOLIDWORKS your idea. It’s called an Enhancement Request…
