TECH TIPS & RESOURCES

View Assemblies Easier with Tree Filter:
If you have ever worked with a large assembly, it becomes difficult to work with if you need to make changes to the mates per component. As you may know there is a folder in each component which groups the associated mates. So instead of viewing the features of each part, put those in a folder and show the mates and dependencies instead. There are a couple of ways to show this functionality. The first is to turn it on through the View pull down menu ---> FeatureManager Tree --->By Dependencies. The second would be to Right Mouse Button (RMB) on the name of the assembly at the top of the FeatureManager design tree ---> Tree Display ---> View Mates and Dependencies Extra Credit: Make a hotkey so you can toggle the tree between the two ways.
 
Go Directly to Document Properties, Don't Pass Go:
If you ever want to change the document properties you may get tired of going to Tools ---> Options ---> Document Properties. A quicker way get there is to RMB on the name of the file (at the top of the tree) and there is a selection for "Document Properties."

FDM Prototyping & Production Eliminates Tire Blowouts in Time for Next Race

Joe Gibbs Racing Logo

Joe Gibbs Racing Engineers determined a tire blowout was caused by an air-duct outlet not adequately cooling the tire. JGR used its Fortus 3D Production System for concept modeling, functional prototyping, and building manufacturing tools. In under 3 days, it had a new duct outlet installed on the car in time for the next race.
