Don't forget to transfer your standalone license -

One of the most common questions a SolidWorks Support/Applications Engineer
is asked by a customer:

"Iv'e had my SolidWorks standalone license activated on my main office machine, 

but sometimes need it either activated on another machine or

at my home office, when I get to the other machine and attempt to activate

the license it comes up stating that the license is 

activated else where! its so irritating!

What can be done to remind me to transfer the license after I'm finished with SolidWorks?

I don't want to have to drive back to the office or 

home to release the license, would be nice if I could get a little reminder when I close SolidWorks?"

My response to this would usually be to re-enforce to the customer -

"Don't forget to transfer your license after use, if you are wanting to activate else where" 

But I have realised its easier said than actually done, so I have taken a little initiative and written a simple Visual Basic Script (VBScript) that monitors the SolidWorks process SLDWORKS.EXE and once the process is stopped meaning SolidWorks has closed the user will get a little message like the one below: 

This little "Notifier" is like a reminder to the user to transfer off their standalone license so that it can be activated else where, if they click the YES button it will start up the swactwiz tool (transfer / activate / show licenses tool ) 

The user can now click Transfer a Software license - to release their SolidWorks activation. 

If the user specifies NO than they are reminded that their computer is still activated and that if they want to transfer the license to re-start SolidWorks and close then click YES. 

Thats it! 

The script has a loop command meaning that once it starts and SolidWorks closes the script runs through the notification windows until exit then it re loops and starts to monitor the SLDWORKS.EXE process again. 

This tool/script is only a notifier it does not automate the transferring of the license only alarms the user and reminds them to transfer the license if they need to. 

The recommended installation directory for this tool is : C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup - this means that after your computer either does a reboot or a shutdown and start up, the script will always be running. 

This script is only for standalone SolidWorks license, not required for network licenses. 

I think this is a nice little tool for those who require the reminder and I hope it helps solve the problem that many customers have of forgetting to transfer their license for activation on another machine. 

For the installation process of this tool please review the video below. Please feel free to comment, share and spread the word. 

This tool was made for use by Solidtec Solutions Pty Ltd and scripted by Perry Klinger.

Bend Allowance in SolidWorks 2013

In this video was created by Solidtec Applications Engineer Magnus Whittall talks about how the bend allowances (k-factor, bend deduction and bend allowance) work since SolidWorks 2013?

When working in sheet metal starting in 2013, there is global/part sheet metal feature and a local/body sheet metal feature.

The global sheet metal "Bend Allowances" parameters work in the following way:

1) Create a body, select a k-factor value (this is the existing body k-factor) and the part (future bodies) default k-factor
2) Change the part/global k-factor. This will not change the existing body k-factor
3) Create a second body, this body will have (by default) the part/global k-factor
4) Change the global/part k-factor again. Neither body's k-factor will be affected by this change.

Frame Designs with SolidWorks Weldments

In this video Perry demonstrates how SolidWorks enables users to create structural designs ( frames ) by using what is called "Weldment" features.

Frames are easily and quickly created in SolidWorks by using 2D and/or 3D sketches. Other tools that can be used in frame designs is the Grid feature which allows users to create a single base sketch on the top plane with required geometry and then pattern at required instances with scalable heights for each instance.

Then by using tools found in SolidWorks - Standard, Professional & Premium allow the user to easy create the frame design rather than using the Boss Extrude feature or other simple features.

Not only does Weldments automate the Extrude Boss but also the additional sketching and cutting of the bodies, also limits the user to huge amounts of clicking and setup.

in the background SolidWorks Weldments is adding additional properties to each newly created cutlist item - some properties that can be found is overall length, Body Weight and many more.

Later the design is then placed onto a drawing for further detailing and by adding a CutList table we are able to see the sizes, quantities and lengths required for the members. SolidWorks Parts, Assemblies and Drawings are all associative between their referenced counter parts allowing the user to quickly produce the documentation from the original modelled item.
