SOLIDWORKS has also removed some of the operations associated with appearances when opening lightweight drawings. The option to disable or enable automatic population of the View Palette can be found under Tools > Options > System Options > Drawings > clear the “ Automatically populate View Palette with views” checkbox. SOLIDWORKS 2017 now gives us the option to completely disable the auto-population of the View Palette, so that you will no longer be forced to hunt for the checkbox before inserting a drawing view of a large assembly.
From the standpoint of SOLIDWORKS 2017 Drawing Performance, turning off the Auto-population of the View Palette is one of the small tips that we would highlight during our SOLIDWORKS assembly training. Time spent waiting for the View Palette to develop the hidden line views for a large or complex assembly is usually an unwelcome delay. All of these articles will be stored in the category of “ SOLIDWORKS What’s New.” You can also learn more about SOLIDWORKS 2017 by clicking on the image below to register for one of CATI’s or CATI’s Design Summit’s.Automatically populate View Palette with Views option

We hope this part of the What’s New series gives you a better understanding of the new features and functions of SOLIDWORKS 2017. Please check back to the CATI Blog as the CATI and MCAD Support Teams will continue to break down many of the new items in SOLIDWORKS 2017. This makes it even easier for designers and those who are less experienced in Simulation to validate their designs effectively! The Stress Hot Spot tool shows the user areas that may require extra attention in the form of small fillets or other design changes. These are areas where high stresses are likely to occur, but the values may or may not be realistic. Below is what that comes up looking like.Īs one would expect, most of the corners of the case come up as hot spots. There is also a plot to isolate these hot spots for elements that may be internal to the geometry. The “Hot Spots” are imposed in Grey over the model. The two dialogue boxes then come up respectively.Īfter the Hot Spots are calculated, there are a few ways to visualize the plot. Once the sensitivity is set, click the “Run Stress Hot Spot Diagnostics” button. It can also be used to read Node Values, but for the purpose of this study, element values should be fine. Once the tool is open, the dialogue looks like this: The SOLIDWORKS Simulation Stress Hot Spot tool is located by right clicking the results folder near the top of the menu. The results look like one would expect, but maybe not the most realistic. Next, the study is calculated to get the stress results.
The student loads the phone case with a prescribed displacement of a “worst case” scenario for applying the case to the phone. The student turns towards SOLIDWORKS Simulation to help him with that.
However, before they go through with that, the student wants to make sure that the design will not break while inserting the phone into the case before wasting time or expensive print material. Let’s say that an engineering student in college invests in an expensive new phone, and wants to 3D print it at their school. The Stress Hot Spot diagnostics tool allows designers to find the stress hot spots like an expert in no time at all!

Experienced FEA analysts know how to locate and mitigate factors that may cause this, but many designers using SOLIDWORKS Simulation for quick design validation may not be as savvy. The mathematics of FEA analysis are limited in that when stress is calculated at a sharp corner, the value of stresses at that corner diverge to an infinite value as the mesh gets smaller and smaller there. What this tool does is shows and isolates elements that have much higher stress values than adjacent elements. SOLIDWORKS 2017 has released a new feature called Stress Hot Spot Diagnostics. Fortunately for designers, SOLIDWORKS Simulation results just got a little bit easier to work with. It is a complex topic that requires practice and know how to get realistic results. Many people may not be experts in FEA or SOLIDWORKS Simulation.
