Hello folks,<br>
<br>
Good news, I've got multiple copies of Solidworks, ready for distribution...<br>
I'd like to get them out, prior to our upcoming seminar, in case anyone wants to install and experiment...<br>S-mail seems to be the best distribution option, so I'd like to get everyone's mailing address...<br><br>I've received a few extra copies, if anyone wants to come but hasn't said so, now is the time...<br>If you don't want our address in the list, email me directly at michael@krazatchu.ca or krazatchu@hotmail.com... <br><br>Thanks,<br>Michael Grant<br><a href="http://www.krazatchu.ca">www.krazatchu.ca</a><br><br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">To: lab@artengine.ca; ore_bits@yahoogroups.com<br>From: krazatchu@hotmail.com<br>Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2010 10:28:07 -0500<br>Subject: RE: [Lab] [ORE_bits] A SolidWorks Christmas ...<br><br>

Hello all,<br><br>It good to see there is much interest in learning SolidWorks...<br>Nearly 20 people have confirmed as attending so far.<br><br>I'm going to request at least 20 licenses and probably ask for a few extra.<br>I suspect a weekend event is going to be the best for scheduling. <br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Michael Grant<br><a href="http://www.krazatchu.ca" target="_blank">www.krazatchu.ca</a><br><br><br><br><BR><hr id="ecxstopSpelling">From: darcy@siteware.com<br>Date: Sun, 21 Nov 2010 12:54:06 -0500<br>Subject: Re: [Lab] [ORE_bits] A SolidWorks Christmas ...<br>To: krazatchu@hotmail.com<br><br>I mean if we adopt the software in the long haul, how much is it?<br>

Good idea, either Algonquin or
the ArtEngine facility depending on interest...<br><br>On the subject of course material and time...<br>Having used Solidworks for a number of years, I can say it is a very comprehensive software package...<br>Which is to say, if there is interest, I can certainly prepare some specific/advanced material to follow the basics...<br>
<br>Included in the 150 day licenses we are receiving is <span style="font-size: 11pt;">SimulationXpress</span>, while not the full simulation package it is still rather capable... <br>Take a look at the website to get an idea of the capabilities... <a href="http://www.solidworks.com/default.htm" target="_blank">http://www.solidworks.com/default.htm</a> and perhaps the wiki page <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolidWorks" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolidWorks</a><br>
<br>Professionally as well as personally, I've used it as a complete CNC toolchain with the addition of the SolidCAM plugin...<br>In terms of simulation, I used the Finite Element Analysis Simulation to determine resonant frequency modes, plot displacement over strain and determine failure modes, etc.<br>
There is a convergent iterative design solver, that will generate a series of design iterations and simulate, converging on a maximum or minimum factor like weight or strength ... <br>It includes part libraries and part generation wizards such that modeling items like gears and bolts takes but a few seconds... <br>
<br>I'm sure they will be some interest in the CNC aspect, how about the simulation tools? <br>So far I have received about 10 confirmed attendees, what time slot is better, weekend or evening? <br><br>Thanks, <br>Michael<br>

That's fantastic. Definitely I need some help in designing using 3D
so this is timely. Depending on the interest, either Algonquin or
the ArtEngine facility will work great. <br>
<br>
How long do you think we will need? An evening, or more than a few
hours and will have to run it on a weekend instead? <br>

Hello members of ORE and ArtEngine,<br>
<br>
At a yet to be disclosed location, on an unspecified day,
I will be giving an introductory seminar on my favorite
CAD package, SolidWorks.<br>
The venue will most likely be Algonquin, and the date
depending on resources, sometime in the near future...<br>
<br>
SolidWorks has offered a number of 150 day licenses for
use by the attending members of ORE and ArtEngine
community.<br>
The purpose of this mail is to determine interest and
likewise the number of licenses to give out.<br>
<br>
If you are interested, reply to the list or reply directly
to me at <a href="mailto:michael@krazatchu.ca">michael@krazatchu.ca</a>. <br>
As SolidWorks is a very comprehensive package, I would
also be interested in hearing what areas are of interest.
<br>
