SOLIDWORKS Conceptual Designer Tutorial: Direct Edit for Filling Cavities [VIDEO]
The Direct Edit functionality of SOLIDWORKS Mechanical Conceptual is outstanding. It can be used even for tooling creation or reverse engineering! In this video you will see how easy it is to create a solid body to fit in an existing cavity. … and… how…
Last week I showed you how easy it is to fill a cavity at the assembly level using the new tools in SolidWorks. That demonstration generated two questions: What do you do if you have multiple cavities in the assembly, but need the volume of only…
In the past articles, we demonstrated the use of the new Intersect Tool for quickly filling an existing cavity with a solid body in order to calculate its volume. That works fine at the part level, but how can you achieve the same thing in an assembly? How can you “fill” the cavity or cavities created between all components of the assembly with material in order to calculate the volume of the “void”? Watch this video and learn how to combine Boolean operations at the assembly level with multibody workflows at the part level:
