new solidworks 2012

[SolidUser]

questo è un copia e incolla per non lasciare a errate traduzioni, fraintendimenti o speculazioni di alcun genere :

1.you can pin your most commonly used files inside the recent documents dialog. you can also open the folders those files are in from the dialog as well. (all of this is available from the file menu as well.)

2.you can now change units with the units switcher in the right side of the status bar. (can change on the fly anytime.)

3.sheet metal flanges now have the option to be set to “parallel to base flange” instead of vertex which allows for better control when flange angles change.

4.you can now reference the outside tangency to ensure flange lengths stay the same and corners close properly

5.easier placement of form tools. you can also dynamically flip, rotate and utilize configurations of your forms! (thumbs up for sure on the configurations!)

6.you can now select faces to ignore when unfolding sheet metal parts.

7.new swept flange feature for sheet metal.

8.place one diameter dimension and the sketch automatically locks into diameter dimension mode.

9.equation editor is all new. there is a single dialog box and the software not automatically calculates the solve order. there are several different views incorporated such as category, dimension, & ordered view. you can access all dimensions of a part from a list as well. file properties, functions, & global variables are all available from drop down boxes. you can also utilize the measure tool from within the equation editor to create a reference dimension on the fly which can be used as part of the equation.

10.exploded views are now available from the drawing pallette. they can also be enabled in the propertymanager or from the right mouse button menu. (in current versions, the option to show an exploded view is buried in the view properties dialog box.)

11.bill of materials can now be created without pre-selecting any views.

12.balloons have several enhancements. you can auto-balloon sequentially. this will allow you to pick the location of your item 1 balloon and then your balloons follow in sequential item number order around the view (the placement shape is still based on standard auto-balloon options). the whole setup appears to be very configurable and will allow you to make adjustments to the balloon sequencing on the fly with all associated balloons and bills of materials dynamically updating.

13.balloons now have magnet lines. this is a very popular feature of 3dvia composer. balloons can be positioned along a magnet line and you have complete control over the spacing along that line.

14.view labels are now automatically re-used when views are deleted.

15.centermarks can now be automatically inserted at any time for an entire view. (not just during view creation.) you still have a variety of options for the insertion.

16.3dvia composer has enhanced realtime rendering tools which result in a higher quality display image. there is also a compass tool which helps you navigate and change the appearances of your models.

17.3dvia composer also now features bom highlighting. this allows the user to highlight components in a bom by hovering over the corresponding components in the model view.

18.much like the magnet lines mentioned earlier, solidwork has incorporated some other 3dvia composer functions. one of which is pressing the tab key to hide components in an assembly.

19.solidworks 2012 includes a brand new costing tool. it analyzes the model (including the features) and gives breakdowns of cost by manufacturing process. it even includes areas where machine setup costs can be input so that quantity adjustments can update the individual component cost. all of this is based on templates which can be modified using an included template editor.

20.simulation now supports motion sensors and design studies support motion simulation. optimization is also now available in motion simulation.

21.there is a new large design review mode which allows you to open large assemblies in seconds. (it was described as quickview on steroids). when opened in this mode the assembly can be navigated as if it were a small assembly. zooming and panning is also smooth. you can create or reuse walk throughs and have full interactivity with the featuremanager designtree. hide/show status can be set from the tree or the graphics area. you can also use the section view tool while in this mode! components and sub-assemblies can be opened with full editing capabilities. if you modify the component or sub-assembly and save it, it will update the large assembly already open in large design review mode.

22.during the solidworks world top ten enhancement requests, it was mentioned that the “freeze feature” that was shown at solidworks world 2010 will be included as part of the solidworks 2012 release. (it was in early solidworks 2011 alpha builds but was not included in the final solidworks 2011 release after some user feedback to questions posted in the solidworks forums. it was held back primarily so that more features and options could be added to it (including support for configurations).

the 9 could be really useful for how I work:finger:

 

[SolidUser]

the video of large design review.

 

[Mike1967]

now it is clear: they have spent all the resources to develop
the future version... leaving this 2011 a little... lame.
and we pay.
we hope that reggio will not watch this video, they will turn his balls, he has problems
to repeat over a thousand times a repetition. . Let's figure out if you see this video that makes us
see what they did not want to insert in the current version.

Why don't you use driveworksxpress?
with one or more databases, you can configure a whole machine, without having to undergo recalculating times due to the regeneration of equations.
this is included in the basic version.
if your needs are superior, you can switch to tuctonworks or to the driveworks brand.
you need to know your needs first.

all the software of a certain weight, have a year of transition.
it is for operating systems, see those of microsoft, apple and linux.
it is for cad (solidworks, if, iv, nx and catià).
it is for browsers..see ie, firefox and chrome.

also it is for the hardware and consumable machines.
You have to go out with something new, otherwise you lose market shares and fail.
in the meantime better and develop.
It's so at everyone's house.

when is the 2012 release scheduled?
Hi.

 

[SolidUser]

no information about it, but in recent years have always been released in the first weeks of September.

 

[Matteo]

I have not seen great news in the fem part (e.g. I would like to have developed better the management of shells and composites). Does anyone know more?

 

[Brigno]

Great 9.

a) I hope they have increased speed and exploited better the x cpus of the new pcs.

b) even the speed in the sketches (especially when importing complex 2d drawings....tremendamente slow...the cad 2d that I have on the smartphone is faster ).

c) stability

d) when working with details with the same name but present in different directories "lose" the connection to the initial file. Absurd!

on shells and composites there is something in the news of 2011, but if you talk about it they are definitely not what you hope are implemented.
However you know that there is solidworks simulation professional and solidworks simulation premium and so I don't know if what you are looking for is in advanced package features.

a) where it is possible to exploit x cpus.
I remind you that to take advantage of what he asks, parasolid must allow you.
where do you feel that it could be implemented and not?

b) solidworks is a parametric cad and when importing the 2d parameterizes it.
that of your smarphone will be a pure 2d.
Have you ever tried to disable certain options before loading or after?
Can you do practical examples, even by attaching something?
because said so it is too generic to give unconditional judgments.

c) for the stability of a cad there are many external factors that can influence it.
Here we are too much on the vague.

d) working with identical file name in different folders is not correct.
no cad loves these situations and even windows.
make an example to verify the repeatability of the anomaly.

a) almost always...unfortunate. having 4 cpu (+ 4 virtualized) I would like to be used always instead I find a use to 12.5% !!!
is it true that in some phases (like rendering) they have implemented algorithms that exploit them but in all others?? ?
This seems to me to be a general problem of all the


b) I know very well the difference between 2d and 3d... mine was a joke!
when however amount of drawings as sketches and by chance there are curves...I am ruined....I always have to "clean" the drawings

c) some problems I have "signed" them to the service, I have sent the drawings that cause them.....I am still waiting!
I use the equations in a heavy way and it is from the 2007 version that marks problems on issues....I also sent macros "personalized" because the problems were not solved (prefixed on p&g in sw 2009 and 2010).
now I see that since 2012 they have redesigned everything!!!!
the last one I found is that if you have a global variable called "supporting distance" and a quota "d1@support distance" sometimes goes everything to that country (do not update d1 to change support distance).

d) I have the axieme c:\3d\commessa_xxx\rulliera with components in c:\3d\commessa_xxx\componenti\zzz.
the same component is present in a different order c:\3d\commessa_yyy\componenti.
Sometimes, in the assemblies and/or in the subaxis sw I "intreccia" the components of the directors.
when a contract is over is "moved" and the remaining one no longer finds the components. at the opening of the aid I must always give back the new path even if except all the assemblies and all the sub-assiems (this is what bothers me...certain if not twisted it would be even better)! ! !

two fast things:

You could disable virtualization via bios, I did it on all my machines and you should earn it in performance.

As for the speech of names... I agree with soliduser and the files should (in my opinion) be doubled in case the name should change.
I am used to pdm and in these situations I never find myself without realizing it, but I think this method is not right.
If you think about proes, for example, when a path is educated (in search path) does not allow you to save a file with the same name even if in a different folder.

 

[Brigno]

I tried but the performance is practically identical.
Keep in mind that I have a supercarroized pc with cpu to 4.2ghz, 8gb ram, ssd disc, vga picture fx.......but when the assemblies are heavy... there is little to do.

In the end I prefer to lose very little time drawing (all machines are heavily parameterized) and wait a bit.


for the names of the files (in reality the component is always the same fruit of various p&g) I find it difficult to "understand" because of these "crosses" since the file is always present and I do not see why it should lose the "percose".

I answer to give you some info that may give you more clarity than why:
a) rendering has always been multi-thread and have improved performance year by year, certainly improving computing algorithms, for simple reason that the rendering calculates pixel.
then a computer like your can calculate multiple pixels at a time.
same thing happens for the calculation of the new views, the updating of such, the calculation of the non visible lines, the multi sheets, the repetitions of functions, the meshatura, the calculation fem, etc.
it is not possible to recalculate simultaneously of functions of which one is the daughter of the other.
It is not even true that it is a problem of all cads, surely it is for the parametric with sequential history.
Surely you knew these things already or the intuitives, so I wonder why of these questions that seem like an unfounded complaint.

b) knowing the difference between 2d and 3d is not enough to understand why of certain problems, you have to go further and also understand the technologists behind it.
solidworks is a parametric, so in any situation you find yourself, the technology that is at the base of its operation will always be present.
when it amounts a 2d of large size in table 2d of solidworks (I don't know why), d-cubed technology is always present, for consistency and relationship controls, things that the 2d pure do not have.
These are the reasons that slow your work.
said this, maybe you should understand if you need this workflow and maybe use 2d pure as draftsight.
Try to question your methodology, maybe you will be counted to have mistaken or confused the true sense of 3d.

c) I have looked at your discussions and it seems to me that you are experiencing the use of equations.
besides the fact that you do so many that I challenge anyone to understand us.
If you are the one who projects and another partner who uses them, you may still allow you to continue with your methodology, but I still feel it incorrect for a multi-user environment, for any maintenance or in case you quit or stay at home in sickness.
However, as in other discussions, I would avoid your method, there are specific applications to configure your set, also using intuitive graphic interfaces.
you could start with driveworksxpress which is free, until you get to driveworks only or tuctonworks.
I sincerely do not share your method and perhaps with a little humility and patience you may be able to question this massive use of equations in the environment together, passing a program dedicated to the configuration of your assemblies.
reprogramming of sw equations in 2012, should not change the basic philosophy, so I do not guarantee that any bugs or limitations disappear.

(d) for the problem you describe, it is certainly due to two things:
1) the error of duplicate files in different paths in conjunction with...
2) search paths

with these indications you will understand the possible consequences of your work, not because of sw.

leaving this 2011 a little... lame.

... sabbatical version? :biggrin:

Let's hope you're not watching. .

: mad: already, it would have been better.. .

I hope they have increased speed and exploited better. .

... to do what they show in the video "large design" should have "milled" the performance... Oh, that's clear, I hope you're here.

you could turn off virtualization via bios ... and you should earn us in performance

hello king, are things you have tried hand on your skin or the way for optimization of pc+swx can I read from qlc part?

 

[LorenzoB]

very interesting point 21: large design review.
a great step ahead of the selective opening.
I wonder if the opening in large design review mode also loads the custom properties of the components or only the mathematical model.
for us it is important because we display in the features manager a custom property and not the file name.
