Knurling is a manufacturing process of cutting or rolling lines into a material to allow for better gripping. This texture can be modeled in SOLIDWORKS by using cuts and patterns. Adding this detail to your model will make your part more accurate and may be necessary if you are using Model Based Definition. However, it

Have you opened up a component/assembly and could not figure out how to change the colors of certain faces, parts or bodies? Well, the reason for this is because SOLIDWORKS has a set hierarchy when it comes to appearances. When you drag and drop an appearance on a component, the appearance target will appear. The

Everyone loves looking at pretty simulation plots. Your models light up with blues and reds, and contort into funny shapes (hopefully not too much red or too much contortion). But sometimes you want to make a cool-looking rendered image with an embedded simulation plot. I was discussing this with a customer the other day, and
