    solver time

    I am running a simulation in Solidworks. I have 11 grounded bolt fixtures and 14 bolt connectors. The other components have a mixture of 'bonded' and 'no penetration' contact sets. There are 13 contact sets and another 13 component contact sets. There are four parts in the assembly and...

    Fillet weld analysis

    I wonder why they may have removed it.. hmm

    solver time

    I discovered the forumn for solidworks simulations. I am posting there now. Sorry everybody for posting in the wrong forumn.

    Fillet weld analysis

    yes, it works. The feature in solidworks inserts a fillet bead as a separate part. You then need to mate it appropriately and apply bonding etc for contacts. however, there is another connection avaliable in simulation known as 'edge weld' and 'spot weld'. i do not yet know how these work.

    Hi, I updated my graphics card driver and that has solved the problem. Thanks to everyone who helped!

    'save as' for solidworks drawing

    When trying to 'save as' a solidworks, often the menus for choosing a location, renaming and choosing formart do not appear. Sometimes everything works fine. And thre are times, when nothing happens with the save us button at all. I have 8 GB memory and Redeon graphics card.

    Blank Drawing Screen

    I reset the element colour as CorBlimeyLimey mentioned but to no avail. I even uninstalled and reinstalled draftsight, and still I cannot see anything I draw. no line displays in any dwg i open too. any help...

    I am also having the same problem. SKCProject, did you find a solution?

    solidworks 'no loads are applied' error

    oh i understand why i cannot apply a force to a restrained face - coz the only forces at a fixed geometry is reaction forces :)

    solidworks simulation bonding parts

    dhengr: My question was regarding how the software package solidworks simulated the no penetration option. and shaggy PE and CRG have been helpful in answering my query that it does allow load transfer through a surface to surface contact. my aim was to learn how the software package simulates...

    solidworks 'no loads are applied' error

    usnig solidworks 2010. when i restrain a face and apply a force onto that face, i get an error that 'no loads are applied to the model' could somebody shed some light on this?

    solidworks simulation bonding parts

    for a component that is held in between two other, there will be some force acting on the inside component due to the outside ones. however, this may not be the same as if all were one material, so where there is physically going to be no weld, is it appropriate to bond the parts together? thanks

    solidworks simulation bonding parts

    does a force get applied to the bottom component face due to the presence of the component above it (no penetration contact)? in solidworks

    solidworks simulation bonding parts

    Two parts are physically going to be welded together from the edges. however, one sits on top of the other. now in solidworks simulation, should i make them component bonded (which will make them bonded from the faces) or edge bonded. I am concerned regarding the transfer of forces. will the...
