If you’ve ever dealt with slow quoting, manual data entry, or back-and-forth between sales and engineering, you know how easily the sales process can get bogged down. In this post, we’ll look at how DriveWorks CPQ helps simplify that process by making it easier to configure products, price them accurately, and get quotes out the door faster.

Everyone who has used SOLIDWORKS has at one time or another experienced a crash; whether that be a one time instance or a steady occurrence. In this guide, I will discuss some steps for how to troubleshoot SOLIDWORKS crashes, especially if this is a steady occurrence. Note: This process will not work well with random occurrences as it requires some repeatability.

Desktop CST Studio Suite users need not be limited by their local computing resources for saving, solving, and viewing simulations. By adding one supplementary license to their CST, they can save, organize, and run their simulations on 3DEXPERIENCE cloud HPC resources. The 3DEXPERIENCE All-Physics Analyst role is a “cloud enabler” for desktop SIMULIA users, whether they’re using CST Studio Suite, Abaqus, or a handful of other traditional CAE tools. 

Sometimes, the need arises to move a SOLIDWORKS Electrical Server to a new machine. Whatever the reason, making the move without losing any data and with minimal client interruption is critical. SOLIDWORKS Electrical uses SQL for metadata and file management. To recreate this on a new machine, you must have a complete archive of the present SOLIDWORKS Electrical environment.

When it comes to CNC programming and machining efficiencies, there’s always room for improvement. If you’ve ever felt like you’re spending too much time programming, setting up, or refining your machining operations, leveraging the full potential of CAMWorks and SOLIDWORKS CAM might just be the solution you need. In this guide, we’ll walk you through strategies and tools designed to optimize your workflow, minimize tool changes, and program with greater precision—all while saving you valuable time on the shop floor.

In 2024, 3D Sculptor (xShape) in 3DEXPERIENCE introduced a feature that allows users to create their own SubD primitives by Extrude or Revolve. While this may seem straightforward, this functionality can be applied in various scenarios that we will explore further.

When editing a note in a SOLIDWORKS drawing, a Formatting toolbar appears above the note that includes options to increase or decrease the indent and to toggle on bullet points or numbering. If you need more control over how your note looks, including spacing between lines and paragraphs, the size of indents, and numbering format, you can find it in the Paragraph Properties.

With the power of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform comes a wealth of features and functionality, and with that, there are many nuances to the user interface that you may not have noticed. Once you know what to look for, you’ll discover some amazing features that you never knew you had.

Abaqus is a powerful software package used for simulation and analysis of engineering problems. In this tutorial, we will provide step-by-step instructions for how to install Abaqus 2024 Golden (GA) with Tosca, fe-safe, and Isight on a Windows or Linux machine.
