When dealing in the world of auto numbering (and more specifically auto part numbering) we have to understand that there are three types of auto numbering we can use, intelligent numbering, semi-intelligent numbering, and dumb numbering (or random numbering). Just so that we are all on the same … [Read more...] about Auto numbering and SolidWorks Enterprise PDM
SolidWorks Simulation – Automatic Plot Digitizer
When running different types of analysis, I frequently find myself entering blocks of data to define curves of various types. Whether it be a fan curve or a pressure drop curve for a filter, in SolidWorks Flow Simulation, a stress-strain curve for SolidWorks Simulation, or a Power Spectrum Density … [Read more...] about SolidWorks Simulation – Automatic Plot Digitizer
SolidWorks Simulation – Unrestrained Models
If you’ve been using SolidWorks Simulation for a while, you’ve probably seen a message like this when running a static analysis. If you are seeing these “Singular Matrix” or “Model is unstable” messages it tells you that some portion of your model is unrestrained in one or more degrees of … [Read more...] about SolidWorks Simulation – Unrestrained Models
