Ball-bearing 3D S8516 TIMKEN


This is a ball-bearing type S8516 of TIMKEN that I created by SolidWorks. The simulating problem will be performed by Nastran 4D soon.

Introducing about SolidWorks 2009 Premium

When you think about SolidWorks, what comes to mind? For most people, it’s our 3D mechanical CAD (MCAD) software. And while that may be what we’re known best for, that’s not all there is to SolidWorks. At SolidWorks we're dedicated to providing engineers, designers and other creative professionals with the tools they need to design the world’s greatest products. In addition to SolidWorks MCAD, we also offer a range of Simulation products to help you get your designs right before you send them out to production.
Our Product Data Management (PDM) software can keep your data organized, and version control ensures everyone in the office is working off the same page. We even offer 3DVIA Composer to keep your documentation in sync with design changes and keep costs down at the same time.

If you're thinking about making the switch to 3D, we know there are things to consider beyond product features. Talking to our customers, we've found a few questions that come up consistently, listed below. Click on the links to get answers to each question, plus hear what actual SolidWorks customers have to say.

Why should I consider SolidWorks now?
Companies everywhere–including your competitors–are moving to 3D. If you want to take your product design to the next level, get the most out of your team, and be the leader in your market, now is the time to start thinking about the ways SolidWorks® can help you succeed.

How easily can we make the transition?
We realize that moving from 2D to 3D involves more than just buying new software—it requires you and your employees to think differently about how you approach the design process.

How can we design better products using SolidWorks?
You think in three dimensions. Your products are three-dimensional. So doesn’t it make sense to design them in 3D?

How much return on investment will we see?
We understand that for most businesses moving to a new design platform is a major investment, and it’s important to understand how it will affect your bottom line. The good news is that moving to SolidWorks will likely start paying off sooner than later.

Who else is using SolidWorks?
Who’s using SolidWorks? Lots of people. In fact, over 800,000 of them. You’ll find SolidWorks products in use at Fortune 500 companies, single proprietorships, and everywhere in between.
Who will help us be successful with SolidWorks?

From helping you get up and running to making sure you stay successful, SolidWorks is committed to providing the tools and knowledge that will help your company design better products.

What's new in SolidWorks 2009
SolidWorks 2009 is up to 65% faster, which gives you more time to design better products – every day. With over 250 enhancements, great speed and groundbreaking performance, SolidWorks 2009 will change your sense of time. Here are just a few of the exciting new features.

Large Assembly Handling Improvements
SolidWorks 2009 performance has been improved for very large and complex assemblies. Commands with improved performance include: Window selection; copying, adding, saving, and deleting subassemblies; and adding and editing mates.

SpeedPak Technology
SpeedPak is a new technology that creates a simplified version of a complex assembly without losing references. The result is a significant performance enhancement for both large assemblies and drawings.

Simulation Advisor
A Simulation Advisor has been added to many of the model setup menus to provide expert advice at nearly every stage of the simulation. With an intuitive question-and-answer workflow, you are prompted to choose more efficient and accurate techniques that might not have been obvious at the start of the project.

Apply Filters and Sort BOM by Column
SolidWorks 2009 lets you apply filters to a BOM based on the variables displayed within the BOM itself. You can easily sort columns within a BOM by clicking on the column heading.

Sensors
Sensors monitor selected properties in parts and assemblies and alert you when values deviate from the user-specified limits. Sensor types include mass properties, measurement, interference, and SolidWorks Simulation data. The Sensor tool in SolidWorks Simulation allows you to set their design goals like allowable stress, displacement, or even part weight. The sensors will monitor results across multiple studies and alert you when any design goal has been violated.

IDF Import/Export and PADS ASCII Import
CircuitWorks can automatically build accurate SolidWorks assemblies of circuit boards and their components, showing outlines, keep-outs, regions, and annotations in the assembly if required. Since CircuitWorks is a bi-directional system, SolidWorks parts and assemblies can be exported in the IDF file format using CircuitWorks so they can be imported back into an ECAD system. You can then place the remaining electrical components and interconnecting traces.

Support for SolidWorks Drawing and Assembly BOM
SolidWorks Enterprise PDM now displays BOM tables that were created in SolidWorks assembly and drawing files. Edits made in the SolidWorks 2009 BOM table are automatically reflected in SolidWorks Enterprise PDM.

Pass/Fail Indicators for Bolt Connectors
SolidWorks 2009 allows you to understand if a bolt connector will withstand stress. If the stress in a Bolt Connector exceeds the bolt’s strength, the connector turns red and the forces are displayed to ease redesign of the fastener.

Electrical Component Library
The components that CircuitWorks builds can be replaced with more complex models, which SolidWorks 2009 will use in subsequent boards. The CircuitWorks Library allows you to define which part or assembly to use to represent a component.
