Techniques for Opening Corrupt Assemblies

Written by: Dave Murray

Published in: SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD

Tags: Solidworks, 3D CAD, Corrupt, Assemblies, Error Message

Stop me if you’ve heard this one: “SolidWorks has encountered an error and needs to close”. Have you ever tried to open an assembly and encountered this error? Fortunately, it happens rarely, and many SOLIDWORKS users have never experienced this error. For those who have, it can be very frustrating.

Assembly Motion tools you never knew about

Written by: Franco Rotoli

Published in: SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD

Tags: Simulation, Assemblies, Move component, physical dynamics, motion

One of my favorite parts of teaching SOLIDWORKS Essentials is the Assemblies lessons. From the first time I picked up SOLIDWORKS, assembly motion has always impressed me. The ease of use and intuitiveness of manipulating components and assemblies has always been a strong point for SOLIDWORKS. Just grab a component and move it. Lost in

Animating Flexible Components

Written by: Dave Murray

Published in: SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD

Tags: Components, Assemblies, Sweep path, Animation, Render

Have you ever wondered how to create an animation that included a component that deformed? The technique involves creating a part in the context of an assembly, which you may already know how to do. In our example, we will show how a spring can be compressed and uncompressed during the animation sequence. Figure 1:

Trying to explain to a four and six year old why it’s cold in winter can be a challenge. I was getting into a long-winded dissertation about the northern hemisphere being tilted away from the sun in winter… and losing them fast. SOLIDWORKS to the rescue! Yes, I know there are hundreds of videos on

Making a Precise Move

Written by: Kevin Holbrook

Published in: SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD

Tags: Components, Assemblies, Move with Triad

I am always on a mission to find the fastest way to do things in SOLIDWORKS. One of the workflows that had me questioning my technique, was how I moved or rotated a component with a specific value inside an assembly. In the past, I would go into the move component command, select delta XYZ,

Selection Techniques for Sheet Metal or Weldment Parts in Assemblies

Written by: Kevin Holbrook

Published in: SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD

Tags: Solidworks, Assemblies, Sheet Metal, Selection Techniques, Weldment Parts

Many users are creating assemblies that utilize parts created as Weldments, Sheet Metal, or standard part files. Identifying these parts within an assembly which are Sheet Metal or Weldments can be beneficial. SOLIDWORKS Advanced Select allows you to customize the way you select parts in an assembly, making it quick and easy to pick and

Using Snapshots to Capture a Moment in Time

Written by: Kevin Holbrook

Published in: SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD

Tags: Assemblies, Snapshots

When working within the assembly environment in SOLIDWORKS, I often find myself hiding and showing components to look at different aspects of an assembly. In a large number of cases, I will un-hide the components and begin working again, only to find that I need to see that view again and must re-hide the components…
