It’s unnecessary to create perpendicular when using “Edge Flange”, it is created to any shape which we want. Today, I will instruct how to control Spline edge of “Edge Flange. Step 1: First, create a Sheet detail as following image Step 2: choose “Edge Flange” and select a random edge …

With“FilletXpert”of SolidWorks 2014 we will save time and work to call fillet again when fillet needs to be in many positions, difference radius quickly. It is the way to manage Design Tree tidier. Step 1: Select  fillet then Select filletXpert Step 2: Do respectively according to steps in the following …

Solidworks tips help you creating sheet details of electronics products and machines need ventilators to cool down because they heat up when working. So how to reduce cut without complicated sketch to implement more effectively. Step 1: Create a common detail sheet Step 2: On above red circle we create …

solidworks tips to guide you Create detail of sheet metal from first block To create sheet metal with bending line basing on initiate spline block, we can create an appropriate covering sheet metal basing that block, usually applying for boxed details. SolidWorks with module Sheet Metal will help you to …

solidworks tips, sometimes we only need show edges which help us when reading we will see more clearly structure without showing unrelated ones. Therefore I will guide how to hide/show edges, lines which we want to show or not, for whom are self-studying SolidWorks software. This article introduces Hide/ show …

Chances are if you’ve been around SolidWorks for any significant amount of time, you may have seen some of these before, but I’ll be surprised if more than a handful of seasoned SolidWorks users have seen all 5 of these tips and tricks. While I’ve shown countless tips and tricks for SolidWorks in my time, these …

Locking and Breaking Assembly References When working with external references in SolidWorks, it is extremely important that users understand the differences between Lock All and Break All. These functions, added in SolidWorks 2000, are for managing the associativity of features that are related to other part files or built in-context in an assembly. …

Guidelines for selecting the appropriate Failure Criterion to calculate the Factor of Safety of your design. Failure Criterion Evaluation Theoretical predictions for failure of lamina are compared with experiments by comparing failure envelopes (outside the envelope, lamina failure occurs) under various biaxial states of stress. A lamina is assumed to …

The following table summarizes the failure criteria used to assess the safety of designs. Criterion Factor of Safety Material Type Maximum von Mises stress σlimit / σvonMises Ductile Maximum shear stress σ limit / (2 * τmax ) Ductile Mohr-Coulomb stress If ( σ1> 0 and σ3 > 0 ) …

Failure Criterion The maximum stress criterion applies to composite shells. Failure occurs according to the maximum stress criterion when the stress in one of the principal material directions exceeds the strength in that direction. The overall state of stress in the global coordinates is first computed by the program. Then, …
