Upcoming SolidWorks 3D CAD, Simulation, PDM, PLM, & 3DVia Webinars

CADD Edge offers regularly scheduled educational webinars. These events cover SolidWorks basics and design process fundamentals. Find out how to increase the accuracy and reliability of your product designs with SolidWorks CAD Software, optimize the design and development process with SolidWorks Simulation, communicate and display design concepts more effectively through 3DVia Composer, manage and share your design data anywhere with SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, and print detailed 3D prototypes that reduce the need to rework your product designs with Objet Geometries.

 

Unified Electro-Mechanical Design: ECAD meets MCAD in 3D
February 9, 2012 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm
Have you ever had an expensive PCB design come back from manufacturing only to find it won’t fit into its box? Or ever wondered if there was a better way to accommodate complex mechanical constraints when laying out your PCB designs? Don’t waste your time with paper cut-outs and inaccurate mechanical mock-ups. See for yourself the benefits of unifying ECAD and MCAD design processes around common files, and use the power of 3D to get designs right first time.

SolidWorks 2012 Technical Tour
February 15, 2012 - 10:00am to 11:00am
This web-based demonstration is an introductory look at the full SolidWorks suite of products to show how easy it is to create parts, assemblies and drawings, simulate your design, control the entire design, and create technical documentation.  You will see how to: quickly generate new designed parts to then assemble and generate detailed drawings, accurately track all your revisions and workflows, run simulation tools to test the design before costly material is cut, and generate technical documents for assembly instructions concurrently with the design avoiding delays at the end.

EPDM Tutorial: Generate a PDF File Every Time Anybody Releases a Drawing in Your Company
February 21, 2012 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm
See how SolidWorks Enterprise PDM (EPDM) and the Tasks feature can help your Company to “dot the i’s and cross the t’s” for your internal processes. While automatic PDF generation is the most common need for our customers, the Tasks can do far more than just that, including running Design Checker and Printing.  And it doesn’t just create PDF files either; any file type that SolidWorks can save can be automated.  The Tasks can be menu driven as well as automatically triggered by your release process – no more being bugged by other departments to “get me that file in this format.”  Start using your valuable engineer’s time doing engineering and use EPDM Tasks to do the mundane things that are needed to get the job done right!
