    Mirror Feature Issue

    i just attach the part file of my right side of the wing. you may want to create an assembly by mirrorign it in the assembly mode.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=6304705b-90b2-4166-9224-fa18dd88a253&file=right_wing.SLDPRT

    Mirror Feature Issue

    I created a wing from an airfoil made using splies which is just the half of the total wing. now when i mirror the componenets in the assembly mode i see that there is difference in the volume calculated whcih causes the center of mass to be offset rather than from being in plane of symmetry. Is...

    create soild from Surfaces

    Hello.... I am using the Next engine 3d scanner to create models, which i then import it to solidworks. But after importing it into soldiworks. it creates models from the surface. I want a soild models as i want to make a cavity of this model int the other. can u kindly guide me with this. is...

    exporting solidworks part file

    hi! i am looking forward to export a part file to the gambit software from solidworks. I have been able to export 3dpart files into gambit by first saving the part file from soldiworks to iges file and then importing the same. but i want to create an airfoil and do the 2d meshing in Gambit...

    volume assembly

    Hello! I have noticed something when I was calculating the volume in the assembly mode.. I have actually couple of parts assembled and there are some of the part that merge into each other after giving mate commands. I want them to be considered as on piece. I am not able to use the combine...

    SW mass properties

    that means i can have multiple configuration in once single part file. i could only see one button for the mass properties for the whole part file. how do i then create multiple configuration

    Coordinate system orientation

    hi thanks for your valuable reply this has given me an insight. i didnt understand when you said that feature sketches can be moved onto different planes which will re-orient the features. do u mean that i can copy one sketch from the plane to the other one and all other features will follow...

    Coordinate system orientation

    hello Friends it was glad to have replies from you for clearing my doubts. I have a question with the orientattion of the coordinate system. firstly my question is that can we change the orientation of the coordinate system as we like even before starting drawing. i.e. in front view we get an...

    Importing csv or txt files to create complex curves

    hello i would like to continue on the topic. i have an equatio that the curve should follow. How do i create such curves in solidworks. what is funcPlot and SurfPlot, never cme across this. can you kindly guide me through this. well in importing the file. i dont think thee is much problem...

    assembly sections

    hi thats a right guess anna.. i am planning to calculate the aerodynamic properties for this airplane. i didnt clearly understand. do u think i can create section cuts in the assembly drawing and export it to stl file for the prototype or do i have to make series of assembly drwaings from the...

    assembly sections

    hi thanks for your reply on this... thsi is my image file.... i have created this assembly by creating 10parts.., the fueslage itself is made up of five parts. now instead of manufacturing five parts i would like to divide this assembly into two - three parta. so is it possible to either make...

    assembly sections

    hello i would like to know if we can split up an assembly into severla parts so that we can make less number of parts. i mean to say that i have created a airplane outer geometry by assembling 10 partdrawings. now i want to manufacture the same. instead of manufacturing 10 parts, i would like...
