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.

A SolidWorks designer talks about stuff related to CAD and mechanical design
  • Wind energy stored in unused high pressure pipe.
    Wind energy is supposed to be free and something every country would like to take advantage of. But even if you install windmills there is still the problem of how to store the energy. At the moment, batteries are just not practical for storing the large amounts of energy for later use. A veteran of the canadian pipeline business may have come up with a novel alternative.

    Dave McConnell, of Lancaster Energy Systems in Alberta, Canada proposes using windmills to drive a nitrogen compression system. Forcing inert nitrogen gas into unused large diameter gas pipelines, he makes what amounts to a gigantic compressed air tank. Releasing the compressed gas makes it possible to generate power anywhere along the pipeline.

    The idea has been extensively researched by top scientists and engineers and may well be implemented in the coming years. It looks like a unique way to take advantage of two things Canada has in abundance. Wind and high pressure gas pipelines.
