SOLIDWORKS WORLD - THIS WEEK!

If you are attending, please let us know. We would love an opportunity to catch up with you in San Antonio. If you were unable to come this year, you can stay connect to what is being discussed by visiting the SolidWorks World Connect page for SolidWorks and user Tweets, Blogs and Forum discussions. Also, SolidWorks World 2011 is on Twitter.

LUNCH & LEARN WEBINAR: SIMULATION CONTACT SETS AND FIXTURES - STOP MODELING COMPLEX ASSEMBLIES!
Do you wonder why your assembly simulations sometimes fail to run? Stop using the default bonded component contact set!
Learn how to use modeling tricks like split lines, bolted fixtures, and virtual walls to drastically reduce your run times and increase solution accuracy.
WHEN: Thursday, February 3rd - 12-1 pm

SolidWorks Helps Amtrak Keep Rolling

Amtrak, the nation's intercity passenger rail provider and only high-speed train operator, uses SolidWorks software to help refurbish all of its rail cars from the wheels up, updating compartments that in some cases can be 50 or 60 years old.
SolidWorks has helped Amtrak improve their productivity by 60% over previous 2D practice.
