Change in Dassault Version Naming

Those accustomed to the familiar V5 version lexicon that has been in use by Dassault Systemès for roughly 15 years are soon to learn a new naming schema for all V5 products, starting with V5R22. There is method to Dassault’s madness with the change in naming system, but the new versions are a mouthful. V5-6R2012 has officially replaced V5R22 as the name for the current release of Dassault’s version 5 software.

Razorleaf’s integration between DriveWorks and SolidWorks EPDM Numbering makes assigning part numbers and other PDM sequences seamless.

DriveWorks is fantastic at generating new designs, drawings, and other design-related deliverables, and at an amazing pace. While this is great for quickly meeting customer demands, it requires some level of data management and many DriveWorks customers turn to SolidWorks Enteprise PDM for that need. If you’re using DriveWorks with EPDM, this plug-in is essential to integrating the two systems. With this connector, DriveWorks seamlessly pulls new numbers from Enterprise PDM for generated parts, assemblies, drawings, and other deliverables. And the data stays connected so that EPDM recognizes the files when they are placed in the vault.

With the DriveWorks EPDM Number Plug-in, users have the flexibility to assign numbers manually (via a macro button) or automatically, during state transitions. Because the plug-in was written as a DriveWorks Specification Task, it can be leverage numerous places throughout your DriveWorks implementation and you know it is compatible with the overall behavior of the system. And of course, the plug-in isn’t limited to working on one file at a time – the tool can be used on multiple parts, assemblies, and drawings to assign an entirely new numbering scheme to your DriveWorks-generated designs.

Razorleaf’s integration between DriveWorks and SolidWorks Simulation validates your automated custom designs with Finite Element Analysis.

DriveWorks has enabled you to take your standard offerings and expand them to offer the custom-designed solutions that your customers need and your competition can’t offer. But in some cases, your customized product isn’t ready to be delivered until the engineering behind it has been checked and verified. So whether you have legal requirements, reliability concerns, or just want that extra measure of certainty that your product will perform as expected, the DriveWorks Simulation Plug-in can speed up the process of performing finite element analysis on your automated designs.

Razorleaf’s Simulation Plug-in for DriveWorks allows you to drive loads and restraints and perform simulation on your SolidWorks parts as they are generated automatically by DriveWorks. When paired with DriveWorks Autopilot, you can further automate the process and free up your workstation and your engineers, while providing that extra boost of confidence for both you and your client every time, with no extra effort.

The plug-in provides support for:

• Multiple Linear Static studies in a single part
• Multiple analyses in a single specification
• Driving of normal and uniform force magnitudes
• Suppression states of individual forces and restraints
