Playground for CAD

February 5, 2007

Interested in taking a peek at the CAD technology percolating in SolidWorks’ R&D organization? The company is now offering the engineering community a chance to get their hands on emerging technologies and test drive their new software over the Web.

At SolidWorks Labs, engineers can get access to the following resources:

–Drawings Now, for uploading a DWG or SolidWorks drawing file to share with colleagues, without having to download any software;

–COSMOSXpress Now, which allows visitors to run basic design analysis tests on any CAD file and receive instant results;

–ZoomIn, a visualization capability that lets users view, render and animate their designs; and

–DWGnavigator, for managing 2D files and performing searches.

SolidWorks is making the so-called sandbox available free of charge to the SolidWorks community, along with users of any CAD package.

CAD/CAE Model Clean-Up: Reduce Iterative Cycles
This webinar featured research and survey results related to problems associated with preparing CAD geometry for CAE applications. We discussed how Recipe-Based Automation can help create "just-in-time" CAE-ready geometry each time a cad model is updated. Watch the Presentation

Light Matters: Systems Level Approach to HBLED illumination applications
Its good practice to apply a systems-level approach to high-brightness LED (HBLED) illumination applications. Minimally, the system includes the optical, thermal and electrical characteristics of the of the HBLED, the lens (if any) which is built-in to its package, secondary optics such as external plastic lenses/reflectors to direct the light as your application requires and power driver electronics.
