CREATING A RADIAL EXPLODED VIEW IN SOLIDWORKS
SOLIDWORKS is a mechanical design automation software which is a feature based, parametric solid modeling design tool. You can create fully associate 3D solid models with or without constraints while utilizing automatic or user-defined relation to capture design intent. An exploded view shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. It shows the […]Categories: SOLIDWORKS
Non-uniform distribution loads
An aluminum storage tank is like partially filled with a fuel of density g = 0.029 lb/in3. The fuel exerts a hydrostatic pressure that varies linearly with depth. A linearly varying pressure (p(y) =gy) is applied to all inner faces of the tank below the fuel surface, where y refers to the vertical and distance […]Categories: SOLIDWORKS
SOLIDWORKS COSTING
Cost of products is an important factor for a company’s competitiveness and profitability. Both manufacturers and designers could affect product costs, either by deciding the manufacturing methods or the design of products. Right decisions will win orders or sell products, but for right decisions to be taken, quick and accurate cost estimations are needed. To […]Categories: SOLIDWORKS

Solidworks Simulation- Static analysis with No Penetration Contact
If you’re going to perform a stress analysis on a SOLIDWORKS assembly, you must be very careful to ensure that you accurately represent that how the parts interact with each other. In this video, you learn how to analyze an assembly with no penetration contact between the parts. In this lesson, you learn the following: […]Categories: SOLIDWORKS, SOLIDWORKS Simulation
