What's New in SolidWorks 2016? SolidWorks Sheetmetal - Edit Flange Profile SolidWorks sheet metal has been a very useful tool in creating parts that require flattened patterns.  The flat patterns are the shapes used to cut out parts that when folded form the finished product.  One of the most common tools in sheet metal is the edge flange. 

What's New in SolidWorks Simulation 2016? When a designer runs a simulation, basic parameters such as material, contact sets, fixtures and external loads are essential in defining the problem and achieving accurate results.  New to SolidWorks Simulation 2016 is the concept of intermittent fixtures that adds additional functionality to yield accurate results.  

The Sweep feature has been a common tool to create a profile and extrude it along a sketched path.   With the release of 2016 version of SolidWorks there have been significant functional upgrades.
Contact Sets - New in SolidWorks Simulation 2016 When a designer is putting together an assembly there may be a few missed mates which will cause the part to be free and unrestrained.  Usually the designer will need to go back and find the missing mate to fully restrain the assembly. 
New in SOLIDWORKS  Simulation 2016   SolidWorks Simulation is a great tool to test your part in a virtual environment to understand how it behaves under loading conditions.  Consider the following simple hook: We are going to run a simple simulation study on this hook to determine how it behaves.
