| Upgrading to SolidWorks 2012
Are you ready to upgrade to SolidWorks 2012? If you have a network license, please upgrade your SolidNetWork License Manager first! After the upgrade, launch the SNL Manager on your license server and choose to activate. This step is critical, as it registers the 2012 product so that 2012 licenses can be distributed to your clients. This will not be a problem for clients still running older versions of the software as the 2012 SolidNetWork License Manager will continue to support them.
Preparing for a Future Upgrade
If you are simply planning to upgrade in the future, please consider the following if they apply...
- Backup the Toolbox directory (default path C:\SolidWorks Data)
- Backup the PDMWorks Workgroup vault folder (default path C:\VaultData on PDMWorks Workgroup server)
- Graphics card driver certification for SolidWorks 2012 http://www.solidworks.com/sw/support/videocardtesting.html
- Copy of SolidWorks settings (via CopySettingsWizard, available from Start menu > Programs > SolidWorks 20** > SolidWorks Tools)

| SoidWorks in the News |
| SolidWorks: Read about how the University of Maryland uses SolidWorks to create a human powered helicopter. |
With software from Dassault Systemes SolidWorks Corp., the Aerospace Engineering department at the University of Maryland's (UMD) A James Clark School of Engineering is taking flight one step further. The UMD design team is pursuing a different type of flight: a human-powered helicopter, which runs on energy generated by pedals. While human-powered airplanes have been around for at least a quarter of a century, human-powered helicopters pose a much bigger challenge, as they need more power for flight height and duration. For example, a 60-second flight pushes the limits of human endurance.

| "SolidWorks has been critical to designing the complex parts this helicopter requires. Between the simulation capabilities, which allow us to perform stress analysis on individual components, and the ability to rapidly prototype complex parts, SolidWorks has helped us to ensure we create effective, safe, lightweight pieces for the larger design." - Joseph Schmaus, UMD graduate student |
