Hi Eng-Tips users!
I have a weird thing going on with SolidWorks Simulation. I recently installed SW2013 SP3.0 on new workstation and found out that simulation is not working. For starters it wouldn't mash my parts, so I started some digging. I found that when I start simulation (any kind or...
-> drawoh, yes. We buy raw material (square/round tubing, flat bars, sheet metal, etc.) and create all weldments and their neccessary components in-house. We do outside contracts for sheet metal laser cutting and bending, but these parts mostly are arranged in assemblies and already have...
Hi! Just a quick update. And thanks for some more ideas.
As our production plans for new subframe has been changed a little - postponed for about a month or so. Kind a good news for me. Now I have little more time and less rush to get my file management system improved and implemented. Which is...
Thank you, both Snowshoe2 and Jeff, for your replays!
I completely agree with you that intelligence should be kept at minimum in part numbers. Ideally excluded entirely, cause P/N is just what it is - a number. I incorporated intelligence in my P/N for two reasons:
1) To separate items we...

Greetings everyone in this large and awesome community! [wavey] I will allow myself and reignite same old topic about part numbering system, their revisions and file naming conventions.
First let me share my insights and pits along the way to where I am now. Five years since...
Thanks guys for your replays and ideas!
I did use multi-body design as suggested by CorBlimey (have a star for it [wink]), but I tied it together with weldment feature and can use weldment properties as well. [smile] Basically I made straight weldment tube, made required cut-out, split the tube...
Gupta, thank you for your replay and suggestion about using sheet metal. I will give it a try and see what I can come up with! [thumbsup2]
Maybe somebody has any idea if it's possible to get through this using weldments? It would be interesting to see other options as well.
Hello ET community!
I have browsed this forum for quite some time now and have found much useful information and solutions for problems I have ran into. Thanks for being around! [2thumbsup]
Now I have stumbled upon one interesting problem in SolidWorks. In our production we use square tubes...
