Disclosure:

DS SolidWorks provides me with a non-commercial license of SolidWorks Premium. They have also invited me to press events and conferences, such as SolidWorks World, free of charge and, at times, they have also provided for accomodations, some meals and transportation. I don't, however, receive any payment for blogging or instructions on what I should write about. Everything that I post in this blog is my own opinion and does not reflect or represent in any way the ideas of DS SolidWorks.

I guess the bad thing about being a self-learner is that many times you have to make do with whatever materials you may find available, and sometimes they may be a little outdated. For instance, I grabbed this COSMOSWorks Designer 2007 manual on eBay and was going through the lessons using SolidWorks Simulation (that’s the new name for COSMOSWorks in 2009). Except for a few differences here and there, everything was more or less the same, so I was doing great, until I arrived to the lesson about shell elements, that is. It took me a little while to figure out what to do, but it all made sense in the end, and so I decided to put together this little video comparing the way to create a mesh using shell elements in COSMOSWorks and in SolidWorks Simulation. This is for all those that may find it confusing going from one to the other for the first time… and also for those that bought the same manual I did. Hope it helps someone out there!

Just click on the image and it will take you straight to the video. I’m sorry that this video has no audio, but this blogger’s place is just absolutely noisy. Hope you still find it useful, though. It has plenty of notes!

        • Not at all! I’m sorry about that! My internet provider has been giving me a flaky signal lately and I guess it didn’t quite make it through complete when I uploaded it yesterday. It’s all fixed now. I just tried it and the whole video loaded this time.
