SolidWorks 2007, introduces Swift Technology. Swift Technology let us use our focus on design and not concern themselves with typical cad workarounds.
In solid modelers, fit your orders something that uses of typically added to that concern themselves with for successful design. The order in which features are created can often lead to failures.
Here is a recruited draft feature, notice that the feature actually fails using the swift feature expert.
SolidWorks can actually go ahead and create the features by worrying them about how the items are ordered in the tree for the user. As you created a second draft feature. Again, as before we will fail but the feature expert takes care of the creation of the features for the user.
Now, an experienced user knows that the draft features need to become before the fillets and bose are already existing as model. If we roll back in the feature tree, we will see that the swift feature expert created a draft features well before the fillets or the bose. It understood they intend that the user was trying to create and build it into the model automatically.
Find fillets in traditional 3D cad system can be a lot of work and requires special planning with the swift feature expert, user simply select the geometry they want to fill it and SolidWorks will do the rest. Let it swift technology are correctly order in create al fillets.
You see the swift feature expert broke the problem up and actually created three separate fillets. The system I am worried about the order of these fillets had to be created, so that the user did not. The user just focus on design.
Now, we have some these fillets that usually may want to actually go ahead and change. They are part of the many other fillets. The swift fillet expert will actually that users come in, resize or change individual fillets in there design, given them the shape that they want without worrying about system workarounds.
Mayds are another area, they are very powerful in 3D Cad but they can be challenging to a new user. Here we are going to and create a mayd between the wall over fixture and the in face of this pen. As we create the mayd, SolidWorks let us create this but notice the system tells us that there is a conflict where the mayds are over defined.
The SolidWorks mayd expert can help us take care of this. The proper manager was shown a problem with our new mayd. The swift mayd expert let us further diagnosed the problem and shows each mayd that is part of our conflict.
The mayd expert can then be put into graphical mode take this better visualize the problem. From the graphical coats, we can begin to force mayds the solve. Stepping through the problem and having a better opportunity to identify, what are our intend is versus where the system has a conflict.
Here, we can come down and we can see that we have a conflict and really the length of our peg is not long enough. We could very simply edit the definition of the mayd in change of quonset to parallel. Then go on in change the actual part making it length long enough to actually satisfy our design requirement.
You could see how swift technology takes care of common problems that new users may struggle with. Making SolidWorks the only system that let users focus on design and not worry about cad system workarounds.
