In today's world with cloud file storage options galore, it can be difficult to find the right tool for the job. The good news is that starting on July 1st, all new SOLIDWORKS CAD users have access to some free tools right inside of SOLIDWORKS to make file sharing and...
In the realm of product development, the 'what if' scenarios are endless. What if we alter this dimension? What if we switch the material? What if the product is dropped? Traditional physical testing can answer these questions, but it's often a lengthy, expensive...
In today's world of tight deadlines and even tighter budgets, it might be hard to validate all of your different design ideas before you settle on a final iteration. Physical testing is expensive and time-consuming; not to mention tedious! Plus, oftentimes we need to...
As consumer products get smaller and more complex, the product design requirements get tighter and tighter to ensure all of the performance requirements are met. I've talked in the past about how some of the solutions available to our customers can help solve thermal...

Today, we're going to take a look at an often underutilized aspect of SOLIDWORKS Premium, SOLIDWORKS Motion. SOLIDWORKS Motion is a powerful kinematic simulation tool that allows engineers to preview assembly motion and verify power requirements for their products....
It seems like almost every software on the market has a cloud-enabled option these days, and SOLIDWORKS is no exception. You've heard from us how easy it is to connect your SOLIDWORKS install to the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, or how Lean Team Player can help facilitate...
Let's take a deep dive into the injection molding process and some of the common mistakes or pitfalls that we've seen customers encounter as they're designing new mold tooling. Let's start by breaking down some of the typical costs associated with the injection...
Lighter, Stronger, and More Reliable. These are the biggest design challenges in Simulation. Here's why: Product designers from all industries are constantly juggling many different design considerations when designing the latest iteration of their new product....
The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one medium to another. In simple terms, that means that if we're designing a product that's going to get hot, that heat has to go somewhere! Thermal management can...
