…a variety of mainstream CAD and simulation software, including SolidWorks, CATIA, Ansys, and Solid Edge. “By nature, SolidProfessor's video tutorials are short and easy to follow at your own pace,” said Glockler. “The style and topics of our online video-based courses haven't changed, though we regularly add new material on a variety of subjects from CAD software to product data management and other design methods. We are dedicating some additional efforts to prioritize the release of new courses that help engineers build valuable career skills from home—like software certification.” SolidProfessor courses are hosted on the company's online learning platform, which…

…part of many mainstream CAD and simulation software, including SolidWorks and Altair. With Autodesk Fusion, you can specify the preferred manufacturing method so the software can take it into consideration when it generates the topology. For more on this, read our online report on the VW Type 20 at Digital Engineering 247.com. The wheel of the new VW Type 20 concept van, designed with Autodesk Fusion's generative design.

…the source code of a pre- release version of SolidWorks was stolen. The culprit, Shekhar Verma, was a former employee of an outsourced contractor in India. He was eventually apprehended when he attempted to sell the code to an undercover federal agent from India. (“At Risk Offshore,” Michael Fitzgerald, Computerworld, November 2003, ComputerWorld.com.) It was long before the rise of software-as-a-service and virtual desktop infrastructure, and ultimately an act of a disgruntled employee. Could mission-critical CAD design files be stolen from the cloud, or via a virtual machine? It’s quite probable, but Robert Thompson, senior technical instructor, VMware, worries more…

MassRobotics is encouraging all-female high schools with a passion for technology and robotics to apply, especially those who are Black and Latinx. Applications are due Nov. 20. To apply, visit this site. For those who are interested in learning more, MassRobotics will be hosting an upcoming virtual student information session. This cohort will run from January through mid-May 2023 and will meet weekly on Wednesday afternoons and Saturdays at the MassRobotics office and off-site for industry visits. The program also includes a full week of sessions…

…be placed at paid internships with partner companies and will have biweekly meetings to share experiences. MassRobotics said that SolidWorks, MathWorks, Lightspeed Manufacturing, and GreenSight are contributing their expertise to the curriculum. At the end of the Jumpstart program, each student who completes it will get a $1,000 stipend. “We've had great sponsors and programs this first year, and we'd love to offer these programs in larger numbers,” said Ryden.

…viable,” De Reyes says. Sabrewing currently uses Dassault Systemes SolidWorks internally and shares files with its partners via a cloud connection. “We’re writing some of our own software as well, and relying on Oklahoma University software, as well as software being developed by the University of California, Channel Islands,” De Reyes says. “We have a core team here of about 10 people, and another 36 engineers working on this through our partnerships.” Sabrewing has also leveraged the X-Plane flight simulator to test the aircraft. “People sometimes raise their eyebrows at that, because of it’s reputation as a game, but it…

…has to be light. We have designed everything in SolidWorks, done a structural and FEA analysis, and we use the 3D printer to build it.” Kayacan says the lab primarily uses 3D printing for multi-rotor drones. “For fixed-wing drones, we have been disappointed, because you need a high degree of accuracy on the wing,” Kayacan says. “it’s difficult to do that with existing 3D printers, because you need some post-processing to get the wings smooth, and you can’t print the entire wing.” “For multi-rotor it makes sense, because you don’t need precision but we need to produce the prototypes fast,”…

…destroy the cap. A replica was reverse engineered using SOLIDWORKS and ARDEC printed the tool with Rize One, enabling easy and safe removal of the cap. If the tool is misplaced or left behind during a move, a new one can quickly and easily be printed on the fly in less than one day. Another tool that ARDEC prints with Rize One is a generator wrench that is easily lost during moves. Using 3D Scanners, they reverse engineered the wrench and print electrically neutral replacements on demand with Rize One. Rize One is also used for mission critical applications, including…

…says Stephen Endersby, director of product portfolio management at SolidWorks, Dassault Systèmes. “The ECAD people are fighting the industrial designers, and the poor mechanical guys are caught in the middle trying to keep everybody happy.” The engineers on such projects “hold the whip,” adds Endersby. “If it isn’t functional it won’t sell.” Despite that, Endersby says, “the overwhelming design concern in wearable medical devices mostly comes down to packaging.” Four types of devices Engineering literature shows there are four primary types of wearable medical devices. The first is passive monitors that only record data. Second is surveillance devices, which record…
