There is no need to activate, deactivate, or show licenses:
The license is not tied to a particular machine.
Your license does not issue a serial number. A role determines the 3DEXPERIENCE services and apps that you are entitled to use. A license is assigned when an administrator grants a role to you. In most ways, SOLIDWORKS Connected behaves the same as SOLIDWORKS Desktop, but there are important differences that you need to understand, which are listed in the article:ģDEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS is licensed from the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform with named user licensing.
SOLIDWORKS Desktop and 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS / SOLIDWORKS Connected, which is a full version of SOLIDWORKS that installs on your computer from the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform and gives you access to all the platform capabilities granted by your 3DEXPERIENCE role.
I’ve not a lot of tips on the assembly step, but I can advise you to put some color on your parts so you can quickly and easily see all the different parts.Īnd that’s it ! Juste need to insert and assembly the arm I’ve designed and the servomotor I’ve find on GrabCAD and that’s all ! simple design to test Solidworks.There are now two distinct types of SOLIDWORKS software available from Dassault Systemes. For the need of the assembly, I will need a servomotor, but I didn’t want to spend time on designing this files because I know that we can find some interesting design on GrabCAD Now it’s time to join all of these parts. It wasn’t hard for me because I’m very used to CAD software and, like I said, I learn to use Solidworks ten years ago … And it didn’t really change ! I succeeded in designing all my parts and now, I have to assemble them. It can generate mostly every type of holes you need quickly and simply, and you can also determine which kind of screw you want to insert to auto-determinate the holes dimensions. When you want to design holes for screw, do not design the hole by hand : use the hole generator. You can select a plane to virtually “cut” your part to see the inside of it. Mostly when you are working on revolution parts, you will need to see the inside of your design. So with this option, you cannot forget to define correctly your sketch, ant I think it’s a good option if you are a beginner and also if you are a lot on CAD software. I always learn that a good sketch is a sketch that are fully defined. So you will have a better vision of your sketch.
This will automatically rotate you view when you will create a sketch, and will oriented it normal to the sketch plane. Option 1 : Auto-rotate view normal to sketch plane And I found mainly 3 tips which help me during my work on Solidworks Tips 1 : change some parameters ¶įirst of all, I activate 2 options which can be very useful I think for the sketch of your parts. I will not review all the tools or the creation step but will focus on some tips and tricks that can help other people. For the first step, I will make all the parts separated, and I will assemble them at the end.Īs a lot of parts can be created with revolution tool, I also decided to make some revolution parts without the revolution tool in order to test more option of the software. So first, you will have to choose between making a part or an assembly. The arm will be laser cutted and the support 3d printed. We made some tests and now, it’s time to integrate the vacuum cup system into our robot.īut to do that, we will have to first model the vacuum cup and the screw, and after that, design a support for the cup and a arm to attach it. So I didn’t use Solidworks since more than 10 years now … So, let’s see what I can do and if it has change a lot … ( spoiler alert : it has hardly change …) Presentation of the parts ¶įor the Eurobot competition of 2019, we have decided to test vacuum cup to manipulate the elements on the table. I used Solidworks during school studies ( from 8th Grade to 12th Grade ), and after that, I learn to use Catia, Cubify and Fusion360. The software is written on Parasolid-kernel. SolidWorks is a solid modeler, and utilizes a parametric feature-based approach which was initially developed by PTC (Creo/Pro-Engineer) to create models and assemblies. Now, with SolidWorks 2019, we are at the 27th version. The first version was released in 1995 and was SolidWorks 95. SolidWorks is published by Dassault Systèmes. SolidWorks is a solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) computer program that runs on Windows. 16 - Interface and application programmingġ9 - Invention, intellectual property and income
