Annual Migration

Categories:

SolidWorks Community

And so it begins, the annual migration of the Humanus SolidWorkus. These creatures, a subset of Humanus Geekus, come together once a year in a feeding frenzy known as SolidWorks World. They come from all over the world to gorge themselves on each other’s knowledge of SolidWorks. To the uninitiated, the sight of thousands of …

2D-+-3D-box-lamp1

Have you ever been lying in bed and have a vision of the ultimate widget float through your mind? Next thing you know you’re up sketching out a rough design, refining it, smiling at the simplicity of something so ingenious. Then it hits you, you don’t have the means to get it to market. Well, …

SolidWorks World 2011 is just over two months away and I’m getting really excited for it. It’ll be the 7th time I’ve had the opportunity to go, and I know I’ll be just as blown away as I have been the 6 previous times. There’s something awe-inspiring when you see 5000+ SolidWorks geeks coming together …

Review – Template Wizard

Categories:

Software Review, SolidWorks Community

Where have I been?

Categories:

Personal, SolidWorks Community

Wow, it’s been too long since I’ve posted anything. Work has been encroaching on my personal life quite a bit lately. 10-, 11-, 12-hour days will do that. We had a big push to get the latest press design done. By ‘we’, I mean me, as in I was being pushed to get the latest …

sustainability-large

Asheen Phansey, the PM for SolidWorks Sustainability, came up to show us Sustainability. “Show” isn’t really the right word. Asheen is so passionate about sustainability, I felt guilty for not recycling the gum I chewed earlier in the day. Here’s the deal for me, though: I get sustainability. I recycle, I try to minimize waste. …

2011 – The Simulation side of things.

Categories:

Software Review, SolidWorks Community

Admittedly, Simulation isn’t my cup of tea. I use it minimally, but leave the hardcore stuff up to those that know. However, I am learning more about it. I may even take the exam some day…maybe. Stephen Ensby, the Simulation Product Manager, was quite happy about the changes they’ve made to Simulation. Their thought was …

2011 Part II – No more shiny stuff

Categories:

Software Review

That’s what customers are saying, according to Shaun Murphy, no more bells and whistles. What does that mean for the development folks at SolidWorks? It means they’re going back into the code to make it better, more robust. To that end, a major focus for the 2011 release was lowering the memory footprint. We’ve all …
