Solidworks animation

Sometimes solidworks animation can be used to provide mpeg or avi files to illustrate if a design concept is going to work. One example was a large dust collector installation where the customer was unsure if the collector could be off loaded from the truck and assembled in sections through a small door four levels above where the delivery truck would be parked.

Solidworks 2008 is a 3D drawing program that also has animation capabilities. We simply animated the whole process to demonstrate that raising the collector in this manner was possible and this led to the customer placing the order for the dust collector. Solidworks animation can be used for sales demonstrations, on line machine manuals, to assist maintenance departments and many other purposes.

The 3D drawing program can be a valuable visual aid to the customer, not just the engineer or designer. A concept can be demonstrated using animation, pictures and as part of power point presentations. This serves to help prove to the customer that the customer will work, without needing to resort to lengthy technical discussion. The concept can be demonstrated and modifed right in front of the customer.

Please call to discuss the possibilities.

  • The F-35, Joint strike search and rescue fighter
    The recent 16 billion dollar purchase of F-35 stealth fighters is a triumph in buying American . While Canada needs more search and rescue planes to patrol the oceans the Canadian government decides to purchase stealth fighters. One wonders what kind of a changing role the Canadian air force has up its sleeve for these high tech seek and destroy weapons.

    Perhaps the stealth and speed will allow our pilots to sneak up on sailors before they even get shipwrecked. The pilot can launch missiles at the pesky shoals or reefs blowing them up, preventing any marine disaster from ever happening.

    Canadian Pilots flying the joint strike fighter solo over the arctic are assured that the fighters engine is more “robust” and unlikely to fail. Much like the Titanic was unsinkable. It will be cold comfort to a our pilots, reflecting on their emergency manual which said “relax, your jet engine is robust” as they eject in 50 below temperature.

    Worse, the purchase of joint strike fighters protect American jobs, not Canadian ones, as the purchase of Bombardier search and rescue planes would have. Unfortunately when the Pentagon barks, we have to pay attention. This was true in the days of the Avro Arrow and now again with the F-35 joint strike fighter.
