Bringing Life to Your Assemblies: How to Animate in SOLIDWORKS 11:30am-12:15pm CST Presenter(s): Anthony Sandri This presentation will help users see the value of Motion Studies, an often-overlooked tool in SOLIDWORKS. Working from the most basic animations to more advanced analysis of motion, audience members who are completely new to Motion Studies, and those with some experience alike should have the opportunity to discover something new and develop their skill set. By learning how to take advantage of these features, users can depict the intended motion of their assembly more efficiently and effectively. |
A Day In The Life of a DELMIA CAM Programmer with SOLIDWORKS Models 12:30pm-1:15pm CST Presenter(s): Don Glaske Attendees will come to understand the workflow for programming SOLIDWORKS parts on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform with DELMIA CAM. You will step into the shoes of a programmer using DELMIA CAM to program SOLIDWORKS Part files. You will see the process flow and file management while working on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform while still using your desktop modeling and how you can program non-native 3D models. See how DELMIA CAM can help you program and manage your desktop designed parts on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform with DELMIA CAM. |
Capitalizing on your Investment: Implementing SOLIDWORKS Electrical 1:30pm-2:15pm CST Presenter(s): Mark Talbott SOLIDWORKS Electrical is a powerful schematic documentation tool that can automate a lot of documentation tasks. SOLIDWORKS Electrical can also be configured to the users needs and standards. These two aspects together mean that some setup is required. This session is a detailed guide for setup best practices so that your software solution is enabling you to save time, reduce errors, improve your project, and document output. |
Designing in SOLIDWORKS for 3D Printing 1:30pm-2:15pm CST Presenter(s): Judy Marlo When designing parts in SOLIDWORKS for 3D Printing, there are some tips and tricks to creating parts for different applications. We will cover ways to translate CAD Data, design considerations and machine capabilities. We will also cover the dos and don'ts when printing text or creating parts with angles. Do you want assemblies with motion? We will go over "rules of thumb" for easy builds with clearance and how to design parts that will use minimal support material for easier cleanup. |
Mastering File Translations Into SOLIDWORKS 2:30pm-3:15pm CST Presenter(s): Judy Marlo CAD file formats are like languages, they often require translation. Understanding the different 2D & 3D file types and how to share data in a variety of formats. We will go through translating different file formats to get the best imported of the file. Tips and Tricks include how to repair parts if translations are just not correct. Also look at the 3D Interconnect option added in SOLIDWORKS 2017 and why you would want to use that option. |

Interactive Technical Communication on Any Device 12:45pm-1:30pm CST Presenter(s): Brandon Nelms Through the use of SOLIDWORKS Composer and 3DEXPERIENCE, you can create and share content that will allow you to walk your stakeholder step-by-step through the content you want them to see, exactly how you want them to see it. This session will tackle key techniques and strategies for how you can prepare content for use in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, how you can share the content with your stakeholders, and what their experience will be. |
Make TechDB Work 4 You 12:45pm-1:30pm CST Presenter(s): Ronnie Flaugh Learn how to change and customize settings inside the TechDB based on your current processes and standards. Machine Setup, Tool Crib Setup, Copying and Creating Tools, Default Features Strategies, Default Operation Parameters, Map Mill Features, Creating and Saving Operations and Saving Defaults. |
Draftsight For The AutoCAD User 12:45pm-1:30pm CST Presenter(s): Don Glaske Attendees will be exposed to the many benefits and the low learning curve when transitioning and using DraftSight as it relates to AutoCAD. Learn just how similar DraftSight is to AutoCAD. See how you can use your existing autoLISP commands from AutoCAD in DraftSight. See how to use your custom commands from AutoCAD and how to create your own personal custom commands in DraftSight. Set up User profile customizations and toolbars and explore batch printing options in DraftSight. Set your DraftSight user experience like AutoCAD with similar settings, profiles, AutoLISP routines, keyboard shortcuts and even .dcl file menus. Get an understanding of the similarities the SOLIDWORKS User will see when using DraftSight. Take advantage of SOLIDWORKS API’s while in DraftSight and get a taste of what’s new in DraftSight 2021. |
Coping with Non-SOLIDWORKS Users' Data 2:45pm-3:30pm CST Presenter(s): Brandon Nelms Do you rely on CAD data from other users who refuse to acknowledge the awesomeness that is SOLIDWORKS?!? If you deal with “other” CAD data, this session will walk you through strategies that help you rocket forward with your design without being slowed down by their CAD choice. |
The Best SOLIDWORKS Feature Enhancements of This Decade 3:45pm-4:30pm CST Presenter(s): Greg Buter Are you using the newest version of SOLIDWORKS as it is intended to be used? Or are you using the newest version as if it were still an old version? Over the last decade SOLIDWORKS software has added thousands of pieces of new functionality. There are so many awesome features added every year it can be overwhelming trying to integrate all of them into your modeling techniques. We often get too comfortable using tools a certain way even if it means a loss of productivity. In this tips and tricks presentation we will highlight some of the coolest SOLIDWORKS enhancements over the last decade and make sure you are taking advantage of them. We will also examine some of those tiny check boxes in a feature’s property manager and the powerful options they provide. This presentation will provide tips, tricks, and reminders on how to use SOLIDWORKS most efficiently. |
