Why college students should get involved “This challenge pairs well with student projects, capstones, and existing works” said Russell Nickerson, MassRobotics Partner Engagement Liaison. “It is also a great way for students to work with industry leaders and get exposure to state-of-the-art components offered by our partners.” Teams will utilize at least two partnered organization's offerings to build a solution that must sense, compute and actuate. Judging criteria will include originality, inspiration and impression, durability and reliability, challenge being solved and overall execution of the project. “Analog Devices…

What was previously called SolidWorks World is now 3DEXPERIENCE World, a name change that will take some time for SolidWorks devotees to adjust to. (SolidWorks World was last held in 2019.) 3DEX World 2021 came online last week as a three-day virtual conference, offering a mix of keynotes, technical sessions, and customer stories. In rebranding of the conference to 3DEX World, Dassault Systèmes signaled a desire to transform SOLIDWORKS from a largely independent subsidiary revolving around a single product into an integrated part of the larger ecosystem. This began with the introduction of 3DEXPERIENCE Works, a suite of ancillary products…

…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…

But most of them don’t have SolidWorks, the 3D CAD software Terex uses. “We spend a lot of time and money traveling onsite or waiting for back-and-forth communications on a 2D PDF via email or FTP,” he adds. After reviewing options for improving its customer collaboration, Terex decided to focus on enabling customers to review and directly comment on 3D models without having to update their internal design tools. Terex selected Vertex, a cloud-based collaboration suite that uses the digital twin concept to create a zero-install software environment for manufacturers and customers to collaborate on design or…

SOLIDWORKS 2021 The popular mechanical program SOLIDWORKS is now in version 2021. Among the highlights are the ability to save defeatured or simplified components as a configuration, so you can toggle between the defeatured version and the original detailed version. It also comes with better handling of small gaps in mesh models in simulation, and fillet along nonplanar surfaces in sheetmetal design. If you have a GPU, you can expect to see better performance, specifically in assembly rotation, and in displaying models with silhouetted edges and occlusion culling. When you export an interference report, you can now include thumbnails of…
