TECH TIPS AND RESOURCES
|
Robust Virtual Components:
Virtual components have been around for a few releases and they get even better
in SolidWorks 2010. Virtual components are parts and assemblies that have been
created in the context of an assembly, and are saved entirely inside the
defining assembly. This makes it extremely easy to rename components directly in
the Assembly tree avoiding the need to open, save as copy, and then use Replace
Components. Making one instance of a virtual component independent of other
instances is a simple Rt.-click menu selection. Also, the folder where you store
your assembly doesn’t become cluttered with unused part and assembly files
resulting from design iterations. At any time you can save the virtual component
to an external file with a Rt.-click. SolidWorks 2010 has all of this and more:
External components can now be made virtual while inserting them or with a
Rt.-click in the Assembly tree; Virtual component names now always include its
parent assembly’s name (which updates automatically when moving or copying to
another assembly); External references in moved or copied virtual components are
ignored; A new system option allows you to automatically override the creation
of virtual components and save new components to external files.

Sketch Pattern & Sketch Fillet Enhancements:
SolidWorks 2010 welcomes new functionality in a number of sketching tools. Now, sketch entities created through Linear or Circular Sketch Patterns are fully parametric as they include the Number of Instances as a displayable, changeable, and configurable parameter. This works great for creating configurations, design tables, and equations where you need to control the quantity of sketch entity copies.
Also, the Sketch Fillet tool now has a preview (with virtual intersections) that you can drag to adjust the radius. Or, you can set the radius in the PropertyManager before or after selecting entities. Also new are an entity selection list and the option to apply a dimension to each created fillet. Workflow is better as the fillets are not created until you click OK in the Property Manager.

PRODUCT OFFERINGS

TriMech can
assist in turning your old CAD drawings into SolidWorks Models:
Wouldn’t it be nice to have your company’s product line converted to 3D so you can reuse or bring older parts into your PDM system. Many of our clients focus on new product design in 3D after the purchase of SolidWorks, but what about the designs and file libraries prior to implementing SolidWorks?
Now you can have that done for you -
contact your account manager to learn
