TriMech Tech Talks 2021: Engineer Insight Spotlight

By Emmy Wolfe on

Our engineers are constantly learning, experimenting and discovering new ways to get things done better inside SOLIDWORKS. We want to share everything we’ve mastered and teach you real-world techniques that can be implemented immediately in your processes. This was the main idea behind our TriMech Tech Talks 2021 Engineer Insight, and now you can watch them on-demand!

TriMech Tech Talks 2021: Engineer Insight Webinars

How 3D Interconnect Changes the Import Game

Importing non-native files into SOLIDWORKS use to lead to geometry problems and errors, but not anymore with 3D Interconnect. In this on-demand webinar, you will get a look at how to bring in standard model formats into SOLIDWORKS and work with directly, without having to do it manually. You’ll even get a look into how to modify the geometry and how to change the design after importing! Watch this Webinar.

Creating an Automation-Ready Assembly 

Creating a “same but different” design is a very familiar concept for designers, but automation during this process can make all the difference. In this on-demand webinar, you’ll dive into the world of DriveWorksXpress and discover how it can prepare your assemblies for design automation saving time and eliminating errors. Watch this Webinar.

Reducing/Removing IT Overhead

Implementing your software can be more intimidating than using it as you’re worrying about tracking projects, controlling documents and trying to synchronize everything. In this on-demand webinar, you will get a course in setting up the 3DEXPERIENCE platform with a “set it, then forget it” mentality. Plus you’ll learn about the differences between 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS when it comes to installing, launching and saving files. Watch this Webinar.

Drawingless Design

Each SOLIDWORKS application works great on their own, but they work even better paired together, especially when making your workflow digital. In this on-demand webinar, we’ll show you how to bring SOLIDWORKS MBD, CAM, Inspection and Composer together for seamless digital content, managing your data in one unified environment, automating toolpathing and more. Watch this Webinar.

Understanding the Power of xApps

3DEXPERIENCE is full of many helpful tools that can change how you design, communicate with your team and fundamentally improve the entire product development process. That all sounds good, but it can be hard to know where to start and what sets 3DEXPERIENCE apart from other tools. In this on-demand webinar, you will get an introduction to the premier suite of xApps on the platform including xDesign, xShape and xSheetMetal. Watch this Webinar.

“What Does This Button Do?” Leveraging Your SOLIDWORKS System Options

New additions to SOLIDWORKS often means new buttons to test, and some to customize! In out on-demand webinar, you will get a full look at the system options in SOLIDWORKS and how to personalize your user experience making you more efficient. The customization touches system options, user interface, settings, user preferences and then you will get troubleshooting and testing these features, too. Watch this Webinar.

Shocking Changes in SOLIDWORKS Electrical 

Another year of updates for SOLIDWORKS Electrical means you’re getting another way to get your product from design to assembly quicker. In this on-demand webinar, discover the new options in the software to manage wires, remove wires, exclude manufacture parts from a bill of materials, filter report configurations and much more. Watch this Webinar.

How to Automate the Perfect Drawing

Automation use to be a challenge in drawings, one of the most difficult things to complete. In this on-demand webinar, you will see firsthand the extensive range of Generation Tasks in DriveWorks Pro that not only allow you to automate your SOLIDWORKS Drawings but also solve real-world design problems. Discover how to rescale and reposition views, set annotation and dimension positions, ballooning, driving tables, inserting blocks and more. Watch this Webinar.

Sheet Metal Life Hacks 

Designing with sheet metal brings its own unique set of problems compared to working with different materials such as plastic or rubber. In our on-demand webinar, you will learn how to deal with common issues including importing 2D flat pattern drawings and turning them into 3D models, quickly importing and converting dumb solid formats and how to avoid recreating legacy sheet metal designs from scratch. Watch this Webinar.

A Design Review With Virtually Real Prototypes

Creating virtual prototypes of your CAD model is one way to save money by not creating physical prototypes. In this on-demand webinar, you will get a walkthrough on how to create these virtual mockups for a new car spoiler with SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional for an immersive, virtual reality experience allowing them to see how it would look mounted before anything has been produced. Watch this Webinar.

Understanding the SOLIDWORKS API

Automating complex and repetitive tasks is the entire purpose of SOLIDWORKS Application Programming Interface or API, a resource not many people are overly familiar with. In this on-demand webinar, you will get to discover all the basics of the API such as what is it, where to find it, how to use it, why you should use it and more. Watch this Webinar.

Getting Started With SOLIDWORKS CAM

SOLIDWORKS CAM and TechDB are the perfect pair to speed up programming and getting code to your machine power. In this on-demand webinar, you will uncover how to leverage the power of them, how to them up, how to create new and custom strategies, how to assign posts to the machines and much more. Watch this Webinar.

The New, The Old & Everything In-Between

There have been almost 8,000 new enhancements to SOLIDWORKS since it was released, so a new update or two may have fallen through the cracks. In this on-demand webinar, you will get a crash course in all the updates from the past to 2021 including shortcuts, overlooked features, tips and tricks and best practices! Watch this Webinar.
