Novelties for the 2014: third general session of SolidWorks World

Joan Sánchez Sabé - from Orlando, USES24/01/2013

23 January 2013

The third day of SolidWorks World serves always to announce, with wide antelación, which will be the novelties of the next year. Usually it does not treat of spectacular changes, but of improvements and new functions entirely integrated cheese cheese in the existent platform. This year, some of the new functionalities are important place that include to SolidWorks Electrical, recently premièred under this denomination, and of the that will speak in more detail próximamente. The session has had also to others of the allies and sponsors of SolidWorks: Of the and Nvidia.

More sponsors: Dell

Fielder Hiss, that has been again the teacher of ceremonías along today, has presented us to Kirsten Billhardt, the specialist of marketing of Dell for the industry of manufacture.

Kirsten, following the tonic of all the manufacturers of hardware, has explained us his aim to transmit to his organisation the real needs of the users to achieve products increasingly adapted to the same.

Following also with a recurrent subject, has referred so much to the every time greater needs of communication, interaction and rapidity in all the processes, as to the possibilities that the contemporary it offers in this regard.

Every time are more and better connected, and can do more and better things in more and (no necessarily better) places.

Manias modélicas or maniacs of the models

SolidWorks World Serves, between other things, to compete: to know who is the fastest in the city, in what to modelado (and simulation) three-dimensional refers . The one of this year has been the 14ª edition of the “model mania”, with two categories, a devoted to the distributors, and the another for final users.

The absolute winner has been a final user, that has achieved modelar a piece, do changes in the model, and realise a simulation of efforts in eight minutes and 45 seconds. Mark Shneider, specialist in marketing of product, has awarded the galardón to Satakal Khalsa, of TriAxial Design and Analysis.

Very polite, also to create objects steering wheels perfectly identified

SolidWorks Devotes an important effort to the sector of the education, conscious of the impact that has in his sales the existence of a big number of students formed in the use of his products. Marie Ironinging, manager of the area, has presented us to Tom Atchins, founder of Mavericks Civilian Space. His aim: form to young students (say that of the last courses of bachillerato or professional learning) in the science of the rockets.

Surely, design and build a rocket, and all the necessary infrastructure to launch it and do that it do something useful, that usually is to measure “things that occur by here up” is, definitely, more stimulating that the majority of activities that realises a half student of professional learning, and a very good form of incentivar to the students to the technician, and discover future promises.

The students do not design a rocket completely, but they split of a determinate standard design, and adapt it for the concrete mission that want to develop . It was the third day of SolidWorks, and still had not seen at all that it flew... This time have not seen it in direct (had been necessary to do some holes in the building), but yes have been able to see it in video.

In case there was some doubt, the rocket and the infrastructure attaches that we have been able to see, is designed with SolidWorks.

More ironinging: Nvidia to the stage

Is evident that, of all the ironinging that does fault to do work SolidWorks, one of the most important parts is all what has to see with the charts. Nvidia, manufacturer of components for computers, and very specialised in charts, has explained us, in voice of Andrew Cresci, specialist in industries of manufacture.

The idea goes back to be the same: the one who before drew pieces, now draws conjoint, the one who drew conjoint, now, besides, simulates them. Besides, everything has to do fast, and well to the first. Every time they ask more functions to the people, and this requires of a true software, but also of a true hardware.

From among the announced: two remarkable elements, no by new, but because they came of Nvidia. In the first place: the work in the cloud is already a reality also for the CAD. In this case, work in the cloud wants to say that a remote computer with a high provision, executes the program, whereas an user, using Citrix and a MacBook Air (pequeñito but no ultrapotente), interacts with him in real time. The compressesion of graphic information in real time and his transmission through Internet, are already a reality; at least, when the connection is “of the mejorcitas”. And Nvidia has something that see with the compressesion, transmission and decompressesion of the charts in real time.

Listening to the users

Bruce Holway, director of product of Solidworks, remembers us which have been the most frequent requests of the users of SolidWorks. One in particular has been widely applauded by the public: the possibility to replace entities in the outlines. And the request number one: speed when doing a reconstruction.

What will have SolidWorks 2014? SolidGrill, SolidWorkOut and DesignBelt

To present the characteristics of the new versions of the product, SolidWorks always mounts some type of comedy. In this occasion, the gifts of design of Jeremy: how convert a laptop in hamburguesera, a bici in a place of work and an arnés tool holders that includes to SolidWorks. The staged has done to laugh a lot to the assistants. I imagine that more than one has put in situation or has put in situation to another. I have to confess that the one who subscribes has imagined to any(s) of his mates of work heating the bocata with SolidGrill, and to others doing the quebrantahuesos with SolidWorkOut. The worst of the case: they would be able.

SolidGrill: Like worsening the thermal sensors performance of a laptop to give him a culinary use

Farewell... And until the next year

Bertrand Sicot, director of SolidWorks, has sacked remembering the lemma of “design without limits”, and has emplazado to the community to see again the next year, between the 26 and 29 January, this time in the coast West in east place: again in San Diego. This or West, in any case rather in the zone South of the EE UU, with moderate temperatures in this period of the year.
