SOLIDWORKS PDM Nov 01, 2024

Whether setting up a server for the first time or moving to new hardware, setting up your SOLIDWORKS PDM Server correctly is crucial. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process with step-by-step instructions. Please review all of the documentation prior to installation to ensure a smooth installation. The steps are simple, but it’s very important to not miss any pieces of the puzzle.

SIMULATION Nov 01, 2024

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools like Abaqus/Explicit or the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform provide a fantastic solution if you’re looking to investigate your product’s performance in simulation before spending the resources to develop a physical prototype. But for those that adopt these tools, there can sometimes be the hurdle of material modeling and its influence on your simulation’s ability to predict reality. Using improper material properties can lead to drastically different conclusions in your FEA simulations if you’re not careful. Throughout this blog, we’ll demonstrate what might happen to you and your product should you skip over the time and effort required to develop a proper material model for your scenario.

SOLIDWORKS CAD Oct 30, 2024

The SOLIDWORKS serial number is a crucial piece for licensing certain add-ins or controlling how the license behaves. At some point or another they may need to be switched around. This process explains how this is to be done to prevent trapping standalone licenses with machines no longer using those licenses.
