SOLIDWORKS PCB – Board Layout
SOLIDWORKS PCB —powered by Altium— is a new software solution focused on integrating electrical and mechanical design. SOLIDWORKS PCB enables the productivity you need to design Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) quickly along with unique collaboration between electrical and 3D mechanical design teams. To efficiently manage your PCB design workflow, it is important to be thorough and detailed […]
Revision Management in SOLIDWORKS Electrical
A lot of people want to know-how SOLIDWORKS Electrical revisioning works with PDM. However, SOLIDWORKS Electrical has a revision control built-in. You’re going to want the revision notes to be a part of the title block on the cover page and individual drawings, so it has the capability to annotate who drew, approved, and validated […]
Solving Bucket challenge with SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation
For all the SOLIDWORKS designers and engineering enthusiasts out there, We’re sure you have seen something like this come across your social feeds at one time or another because we know we have. The question is which bucket will fill up first if the water is poured continuously into the first bucket. We have spent […]
Importing Components from BOM in SOLIDWORKS Electrical
The import wizard in SOLIDWORKS Electrical allows for bulk loading components with ease. Under Manufacturer parts manager select Import Then select the data source from either an Excel file or a text file. Since excel is a common format for most of the Bill of Material, an excel file is selected in this case. Once […]
Import Study features in SOLIDWORKS Simulation
Hello everyone! In this article, We want to show off another great new feature in SOLIDWORKS Simulation i.e; The ability to import study aspects from part or sub-assembly studies into the parent assembly study, saving you time by not having to define things twice. Before we get started, We want to note that this is for […]

With SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional, one of the many study types available is Topology Optimization. The Topology study is a nonparametric optimization of parts utilizing specific goals, manufacturing constraints, and all applied loads and fixtures. These studies provide amazing insight into how forces and other loading conditions are most efficiently supported by their fixtures. They can show […]
Adding your Design Library to SOLIDWORKS PDM Vault
Using Off the Shelf (OTS) components in our designs is common. Whether they are bearings, gears, motors, sensors, or fasteners we gather this stuff up use it and then stash it in various places on our local hard drives. The problem with this is we are not sharing those OTS components with the rest of […]
Nonlinear hyper-elastic Contact analysis
we have a holder assembly that is fixed at the back. The pipe is pushed into the opening of the holder such that it rests on the holder inner face. The holder part is made of a plastic material (Acrylic) and the pipe is made of a rubber-like-material that obeys the Mooney-Rivlin material model. Surface […]
Shell Mesh in SOLIDWORKS Simulation
General solid bodies are automatically meshed using solid tetrahedral elements, which are a great fit in a variety of cases. For geometries that happen to be constant wall thickness, there is another option that can be beneficial: shell mesh. Shell Mesh Uses Shell mesh can and should typically be used for a variety of geometries […]
