See 'The Light©' with the '3 Step Max'-Challenge

7 6 Intermediate
I have realised, that we never disclosed any solution to this challenge: https://grabcad.com/groups/weekly-challenge-group/discussions/3-step-max so here comes a complete tutorial on how I did it. Even though the model is only 3 steps, it contains 7 features and the tutorial use 27 steps, because there are some necessary extra steps needed to make it work in my ancient (but expensive) Solidworks 2014. You will learn some essential tricks such as 'Fit Spline' along the way and maybe eventually see 'The Light©'.

SOLIDWORKS Simulation - Topology Optimization

0 0 Intermediate
In simplest terms, a topology study uses an iterative algorithm to run a design optimization loop that generates the best possible shape based on the information you specify, such as loads, constraints, boundary conditions, and manufacturing controls. Instead of spending time creating a model, you can use the topology-optimized model as a starting point or reference, saving you time while simultaneously improving performance. You can also use topology studies to explore new ideas and varying design options, and help refine your designs by letting you know where to add material and where to take it away. Topology Optimization with SOLIDWORKS enables you to: * Create smaller, lighter-weight components * Modulate part stiffness * Design for additive or subtractive manufacturing * Automate the meshing process * Run the optimization loop in the background #Solidworks #Simulation #topology #optimization @NonCADKeys

SOLIDWORKS Simulation - Parametric Optimization | Constraint = Mass | Goal = Minimum Mass

0 0 Intermediate
You can create a Design Study to perform an optimization or evaluate specific scenarios of your design. The Design Study offers a uniform workflow for the Optimization and Evaluation studies. You can work on a number of problems by using a design study. You can: * Define multiple variables using any simulation parameter, or driving global variable. * Define multiple constraints using sensors. * Define multiple goals using sensors. * Analyze models without simulation results. For example, you can minimize the mass of an assembly with the variables, density and model dimensions, and with the constraint, volume. * Evaluate design choices by defining a parameter that sets bodies to use different materials as a variable.
