Great video! I however noticed that in my case SolidWorks had automatically calculated the parameters for the Lip and Groove (they were not all 0) so that the finished curvature and lines were smooth without need for extra steps, not sure whether this is standard
It really depends on the complexity of the geometry, but the software is constantly improving so I'm glad the default workflow worked out for you! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Not quite. The amount of gas used depends on a few variables, from the type of sinter to the material being sintered. In general, the sinter-1 gets 3-6 runs out of a pair of mixed gas cylinders and 5-8 runs out of a multipack. Using a CLC has the most variance since it vents off over time, but it can get up to 20 runs. There is a helpful chart at support.markforged.com/portal/s/article/Gas-Use-Management
We allowed SOLIDWORKS Simulation to automatically select the appropriate solver for each situation. There are certain situations that require selection of the solver or the nonlinear method but none of these were difficult enough to worry about it. We have an FFE Plus iterative solver and two direct sparse solver options available for non-linear studies.
For a large number of contacts it can be, but it is more sensitive to unstable models. We're preparing an article on this exact subject at mlc-cad.com but the biggest advantage with FFEPlus is the ability to handle extremely large meshes without requiring a ton of memory.
This can be done, but it is going to be a rather involved process. Let us know if you are interested in hiring us to apply this change or setup a system to streamline the process. www.mlc-cad.com/services/cad-migration/
That dialog is called Mouse Gestures and you can display it or use it by holding the right mouse button on a blank area of the screen and dragging. Click RMB and move it slightly and the ring displays. Swipe the mouse through the desired shortcut and it executes that command. If you swipe quickly in the direction of the command you want, it can execute without showing that ring at all, making it look like magic!
Anything that is constructed from structural shapes would be a good fit. Architectural structures can be designed this way along with oil rigs and skids, equipment frames and support structures.
Thanks for the video. Can I introduce breather valve in this simulation setup, to maintain equalise pressure and temperature with ambient. Please share video regarding this option
Hey there! This short is actually a clip from a larger video, here's the link to watch the full video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_J5gPreixzM.html
I definitely learned some new things here: Chamfer Drill tool path. . . How long has that been there? Also didn't know that verify would use the first stock model in the selected opps. Thought you had to set that up as part of stock setup. Good stuff. Thanks!
Happy you learned some new things, it's always a rewarding payoff to know that people are learning from our content! Also, the Chamfer Drill toolpath was introduced in Mastercam 2021. 😎
Splines aren't always fully defined in practice, but it is possible to add enough constraints to fully define the entity if that is the goal. Define the location of each spline point and add tangency controls or spline handle constraints as needed. The simpler you can make the spline, the easier this task becomes. I hope that helps!
It is usually installed on a server, so someone with IT permission would need to log on to that machine. The clients will all point to the server by name in the server location tab if you aren't sure which computer it is.
big question i have is, why are you not change the overall tollerance slicer to 0.1. Right on top of it, it reduces the Code output alot! Important to say is, when you reduce all this values, you should let some material on the walls otherwise you are out of the tollerances.
Two reasons, the first being that this is instructional so we wanted to step into it slowly to explore the benefits. The other reason is that the most common use case for a tool path like this is to finish around walls, so loosening that tolerance must be done carefully. Keep the tolerance under half the stock to leave on walls for best results.
The goal is to spend less time programming each part, but there are always more parts to program and extremely complex parts are always going to take time.
The sample exam this video is based on has 8 questions and is intended to give you an abbreviated testing experience. Based on how difficult they are for you and how quickly you answer them should help you determine if you are ready to take the full test. The full exam will likely have more questions but they will be different from the sample questions.
Hi! New to the channel here! quick question, what if the modify dialogue box does not pop up after placing the end marker? Is there a keystroke for it?
This exercise was really annoying because of the double tangent annotation on the drawing. It is misleading as it makes you think that there are two different arcs on the top of the part, as opposed to the singular 19mm radius one. I hope no one lost much time on this and that Dassault fixes this error
Totally hear you! The SOLIDWORKS exams are intentionally challenging by design. This is why we provide sample exam overview as a preparation tool and to explain these trickier aspects of the exam so users can go into the certification test as prepared as possible. 😎
Structure Sytems and Weldments are very similar, but they use different approaches. In general, structure systems will make it easier to create very large and complex frames without as much 3D sketching or manual touches. Both are worth learning, but they overlap a lot in terms of applications.
The basic answer is that you don't move the part or the stock model, you create a new WCS that defines "Up" as "Down" so the spindle comes from the other side. If needed, bring in a new vise and locate it on the part how it will hold the second operation.
This is a great video. Have you printed something with the clear resin that is solid and tall? Did you get any bubbles inside the print? I’m looking for a printer that can print clear, solid and tall with no bubbles. If you haven’t tried the clear is there any way to try printing with it? Maybe a 4-6 inch tall by 1.5 inch diameter or anything with some volume not a thin wall print to see if bubbles appear.
According to Formlabs, they have not encountered air bubbles in cured Clear resin prints. When the build platform descends into the resin tank, it squishes against the clear tank film, pushing out and popping any air bubbles. Based on your request, this video (www.linkedin.com/posts/formlabs_how-clear-is-clear-resin-v5-heres-a-quick-activity-7209538500579213313-Mb-m?) is exactly what you’re looking for! Here, Formlabs is printing tall Clear V5 resin cylinders to be used as lenses. Great way to see that there are no air bubbles in these parts. Pretty awesome!

Can we run solidworks smoothly with ryzen 5 or ryzen 7 with 7300U processor 16gb ram and 4.4 ghz laptop. I'm confused after watching alot of video where I stuck on processor series (G, U, H, etc)
There are so many different processers and combinations of hardware that we can't list them all, but benchmark sites compare them to each other and you can see the relative performance of each model there. It also depends on your budget and modeling goals, so it is hard to make any specific recommendations. Try posting this question on a forum like Reddit for better input.
@@MLCCADSystems currently I'm not into heavy simulation. I'm working on 3d modeling and assembly, also I don't have much budget and I get this specifications at my budget. Should I go for it.?
great tutorial for motion in solidworks, but i wonder, it is possible if we used configuration on sub assembly rather than using part and move manually ?
You can change a lot of things in the timeline, but the configuration of a component is not one of them. As a workaround, you could insert both configurations and toggle visibility on them at the same time, making it look like nothing changed but you swap out two instances of the same subassembly. There are several different ways to accomplish a result like this, but each one has unique challenges to overcome. Good luck!
11:20 I have to 'accept' my plane first? Okay, i accept it for what it is. Still no way to define its height in relation to the one below it. That blue line appeared magically and i cant tell whats going on cause 320p is max quality (Okay. Double click is what brought it up. Would still prefer these videos in just slightly better quality)
We only have the webinar recording for this one instead of a local capture, but it was too good not to share. We work very hard to keep the video and audio quality as high as possible, thank you for the feedback. If you are looking for videos you can follow along like a tutorial, check out www.mlc-cad.com/training/solidprofessor/
Here are some files you can use to follow along with this tutorial series: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/78oi5v1qcwhxt98xyb4jb/Motion-Tutorial-Files.zip?rlkey=ef60nu31mi5sfn2auc1f5z504&st=b0k1izfv&dl=0
There are a lot of different ways you can do this, yes! Simulation results can be exported as a deformed body or used as a guide to create new geometry. A lot depends on what your specific end goal is, good luck!
Here you go, this one should not expire: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/78oi5v1qcwhxt98xyb4jb/Motion-Tutorial-Files.zip?rlkey=ef60nu31mi5sfn2auc1f5z504&st=b0k1izfv&dl=0
Thank you for this video. I'm currently helping a friend build a custom PC but since his primary use for the computer would be Solid Works, this was a great jumping off-point to determine what components would best suit him.
Can this trick only be done in an assembly. Can I make a feature in a part for the purpose of creating a surface control but suppress that feature via component control?
Flow does not distinguish between assembly components and separate bodies in a multi body part. If it is a disconnected body, you can disable it separate from other components as shown in the video.
Is black V5 in any way comparable to tough 1500? I’m interested in low volume production quality with toughness and little to no post processing. I realize I’m asking for a lot however I’m just curious if the black V5 gives us that. It would be worth the printer for me.
Black V5 actually outperforms Tough 1500 in just about every category - only impact resistance (Notched IZOD) is higher with Tough 1500. Black V5 can resist higher temperatures, is stiffer, and stronger - both in tension and flexion. Regarding post-processing, the support touchpoint sizes are smaller with Black V5, so there will be smaller surface marks left after removing supports. Check out this video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hr4DKHX9Hsg.html) on support removal - Formlabs showcases Black V5 in this process! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to discuss further, we would love to learn more about your specific application. www.mlc-cad.com/contact-us/
