Chances are at some point during the year we all get busier than usual, this may be due to cyclical projects, new customer requirements, or just the usual deadlines. In this blog, we are going to lay out some ways that TriMech can help your team make sure you never miss a deadline or lose business, due to your simulation capabilities.

The Buckle Group Assembly is a project that our team is working on, and we are collaborating on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to get the job done. The team has gone through an internal discussion on the platform that turned into a poll to see whether there's a need to go ahead and run a few simulations on the buckle and clip. By accessing the 3DEXPERIENCE through a web browser, I can constantly communicate and collaborate with the team using Communities. Check out this blog on how to improve project communication in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The poll is complete and the ‘ayes’ have it. I'm going to go ahead and upload my design data to the platform and run my simulations. I will be able to look at the results and communicate with my team all within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

This February, 3DEXPERIENCE World brings a vibrant community of designers, engineers, entrepreneurs and business leaders together to learn, engage, share knowledge and drive innovation. This is all centered around our 3DEXPERIENCE WORKS portfolio for our SOLIDWORKS customers.

By quickly getting up to speed, as well as learning and utilizing best practices, SOLIDWORKS Essentials training ultimately ensures maximum efficiency and productivity for SOLIDWORKS users. Seasoned users of other CAD systems, veteran SOLIDWORKS users, as well as new CAD users, can all benefit from Essentials training.

One of the easiest ways to stand out from other SOLIDWORKS users around the globe, or even at the desk next to you is to become certified in SOLIDWORKS. Becoming SOLIDWORKS Certified not only lets you stand out at your current job for potential advancements but might also help future job applications. With so many certifications to achieve and no downside, it’s a great idea to become SOLIDWORKS Certified!

SOLIDWORKS Simulation is an incredibly capable tool to help you and your company validate your designs. This can be anything from being able to do basic checks of a metal bracket's thickness to doing nonlinear analysis of a rubber o-ring being pressed into a channel. Having the capability to run a simulation test is certainly beneficial, but depending on your computer’s hardware specifications, your simulations may tie up your computer for a good portion of the day.

SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium provides the capability to do Offloaded Simulations, which allows users to push the actual solving of a simulation over to another computer and view results on their own computer. Let's see how this works. 

In electrical design, how we choose to represent connections between electrical devices in our schematics is often open to interpretation. If we’re not careful, our design intent can be easily miscommunicated to the reader, leading to potentially disastrous results. “The danger is in the details,” as they say. SOLIDWORKS Electrical provides some powerful methods of ensuring that nothing is lost in translation, but many designers frequently overlook them. Today’s blog will focus on how you can avoid costly and time-consuming errors in testing and assembly, by spending just a bit more time clarifying your schematic connections. Let’s begin.

And with the push of a button, you’ve just ordered a car. In today’s fast-paced industry 4.0 world, we expect to quickly find a product that fits our exact needs. Nearly gone are the days we find ourselves saying “I guess I could make that work.” Our need for a customized product has become the global standard. CPQ and Design Automation tools are being adopted and used by nearly every industry to provide anyone with flexible product options, allow visualization of custom options, quickly send quotes, and ultimately send a truly custom design into production faster than ever before.
