    Manage Equations

    When I rmb on Equations (in the Feature Manager) then click Manage Equations I get a window were I can do just that. When my colleague sitting behind me with the same hardware, software and settings rmbs on Equations then Manage Equations he gets nothing. We are using the same part file. We have...

    Simple truss

    Thank you guys for your answers. I gave you stars. I was hoping that there was a more elegant way to tell the software where I want joints than actually model the joint and fool the software. One little problem I came across breaking a beam is that one side of the beam is too short and I get a...

    Simple truss

    Thank you, Nick for your answer. I added split lines but they were not seen as joints so I couldn't use them to define restraints. I split the bottom beam and then I got the to extra joints at the support location and I could complete my analysis. I would prefer to use split lines tough because...

    Simple truss

    Mike, I am using SolidWorks Premium which coes with static analysis of assemblies and multi-body parts. As I said, I found several tutorials on how to analyze this kind of structure. What I couldn't find and I am asking is how do I define the location of the restraints and loads that are not...

    Simple truss

    Mike, Ok, maybe my assembly it's not a truss, maybe it's just beams welded together. My question it's still the same. Asumming the supports and load location is known, what is the technique to define those positions in my simulation study? Do I have to break the bottom beam to insert joints at...

    Simple truss

    This seems to be a fairly simple question but for some unknown reason no one is mentioning it either on the www or books on FEA and SW Simulation. Please take a look at the attached image and, please, let me know what do I have to do in order to analyze this truss with the restraints and load as...

    Loads and restraints on trusses

    I am new to SW Simulation. I would like to do a static analysis of a truss using the truss option in SW Simulation. My question is how do I add loads and restraints on the truss in areas away from joints?

    What was the last SW release which did not poll the license server?

    SW2007 SP1 & 2 did not. SP3 and higher did.

    SolidWorks 2012 Has Arrived

    I just got the SW2012 SP1.0 DVD from my VAR. Is it ready for production use? Large design review could be quite helpful for us.

    Mating two faces in SolidWorks

    I noticed the fact that bringing parts closer helps. That is actually the first thing I did but it didn't help in this case.

    Mating two faces in SolidWorks

    There are lots of parts, subassemblies and mates. I think the reason was that the second component, the one without mates was a flexible assembly. I made it rigid, mated it (it worked now) and made it flexible again. You learn something every day.

    Mating two faces in SolidWorks

    I need help in mating two faces in an assembly in SW2011 SP5.0. First component is fixed, second component is completely free and I can move it freely with my mouse. The faces are close to each other. I click on mate, select the first face then the second face, I select "parallel" for the type...

    Greyed out views in drawing

    This is happening with an older drawing created by someone who is out of reach. I open the drawing and all the views are greyed out in the feature manager. The sheet and sheet format are available. The drawing views are not visible in the graphic area. Just the sheet format and the BOM are...

    Macro to export/import settings

    I use to have and use a macro like that downloaded from the web. I could use it again but I can't find it anymore. It was exporting all settings of a SW file to an Excel sheet or importing previously exported settings to another file. I think it was created by Stefan Berlitz but maybe not.I...

    strange window behaviour in SW x64

    Thanks gopack13 for the link. It needed a little tinkering but I got it running. I had to declare the functions private and remove "Global" in front of const. Option Explicit Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" _ (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As...

    strange window behaviour in SW x64

    I have some VB programs and some VBA programs to help me with my work. They worked fine in SW2009 x32. After I upgraded to SW2009x64 (Windows XP) they started this annoying behaviour that the window they open goes to the bottom of the windows on my screen and I have to dig for it. Same...
