SOLIDWORKS
Our Technical teams here at TriMech Solutions will often request the SOLIDWORKS installation log files from clients who are experiencing issues with their SOLIDWORKS Installation. These logs will assist us in determining the corrective actions required for an installation to proceed. Prior releases made it…
SOLIDWORKS’ Rib feature provides a powerful way to quickly create thin extruded features with a minimum of effort. Ribs are often overlooked when part modeling as most users use the traditional Extrude feature to create these types of structures. Let’s explore the utility and benefits…
What is FeatureWorks? It is a tool available in SOLIDWORKS that allows engineers to import 3D CAD models from other software applications and convert them into SOLIDWORKS features. This feature recognition technology identifies the individual features used to create a model and translates them into…
Adjusting Virtual Memory (Windows Pagefile) for increased SOLIDWORKS Performance
We use this procedure a great deal when attempting to enhance the performance of systems where SOLIDWORKS is having difficulty with importing or exporting geometry, or handling larger assemblies.
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…
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…
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…
I want to discuss some parameters you can take advantage of to stabilize sweep profiles when given uneven curvature fluctuations. When it comes to working with sweeps, we need our path and profile. SOLIDWORKS will sweep your profile along your path, however, with 3D sketches…
