Continuing right along, we’ll be taking a look at some additional program settings that will make our workflow that much easier when we start the modeling process. By making these adjustments now, we can ensure that our headaches will be kept to an absolute minimum when we find ourselves halfway through our project.
‘SolidWorks’
Audi A3 Hood Scan Reverse-Engineering
Today we have a very special treat thanks to our EvD guest Sky Greenawalt! Sky sent us a 3D scan of his Audi A3′s hood for us to play with. In this video, we’ll be taking a look at importing a 3D scan into Rhino, exporting to modo for a rebuild, then finally pull it into SolidWorks using T-Splines so it’s ready for some intense modeling-action! Thanks Sky!!
SolidWorks 2012 Pro: Program Settings I
Welcome to the first video of our brand spankin’ new cadjunkie PRO SolidWorks series! Before we begin this series, we’re going to take a look at some of the settings in SolidWorks that will help us during our process.
Rapid concept from sketchup to solidworks
cadjunkie and entrepreneur Andre Dettler tells us a bit more about his rapid concept ideation workflow using Sketchup, SolidWorks, and Photoview 360. Great stuff, dre!
General Question about Solidworks tutorials
CJ member xhalofirex asks “I was wondering if cadjunkie tutorials for solidworks cover advanced motion simulations for any moving mechanical devices or stress analysis for physical structures. If not, are there any suggestions as to where I can find more of those tutorials?”
SW Guitar 08: Surfaces II
We have just a couple more adjustments to make to our master model. Once we get these guys done, it will make it easier to make the final cuts with the additional surfaces we’ll be adding. Keep those learning caps on ladies and gentlemen, we’re almost there!
SW Guitar 07: Surfaces I
Today we’ll begin digging deeper into the master model we’ve been developing the past 6 videos. Starting with the body, we’ll begin to add surfaces by utilizing the existing geometry that we set up previously. Buckle your seat belts, this is going to go quick!
SW Guitar 06: Fretboard Profile II
Pop those champagne corks ladies and gentlemen, this is a time for celebration! This video concludes the first section of our Classical Guitar Series. Next we’ll be using the future-proof framework we’ve been building and bring this bad boy to life. Hope you brought your earplugs, it’s going to get loud soon!
SW Guitar 05: Fretboard Profile I
Okay kids, you’ve been hanging in there this long. Just one more sketch before we start pumping up the 3D-element factor. In this first part of a two-part tutorial, we’ll be finalizing our fretboard and sealin’ the deal for our next phase of the project.
Q&A: Equations in SolidWorks
In this quick video we’ll be taking a look at Expressions in NX and SolidWorks 2012′s Equation Editor, which are very similar to say the least! You’ll be adjusting those dimensions verrrry easily in no time people!
Q&A: Flatten the SolidWorks Feature Tree (3 videos)
Curious how to flatten your Feature Tree madness? We’ll take a look at a few ways of doing this. Additionally, our good friend Ray from Burton Snowboards shared with us a script he uses. We’ll take a look at how to import and use the script, plus look at a few tweaks…
Q&A: 3D Splines in SolidWorks
We’ll be in SolidWorks today with a question from user Peter, who is having troubles constraining splines in 3D Space. Using geometry we created in NX in our last Q and A, we’ll be looking at comp curves and how to create smooth surfacing similar to what we achieved in NX.
