Did you know there’s a hidden cost to the air you breathe indoors? Energy, emissions, and
inefficiency. ​

Every day, buildings depend on complex systems to keep indoor environments comfortable. Heating. Cooling. Ventilation. ​

At Airlich, that became the starting point for a different approach. ​Instead of replacing indoor air, they clean and reuse it. ​

Their EcoGain technology transforms air from something that constantly needs replacing into something that can be refined and recirculated. ​

The result is not just lower energy use, but better air for the people inside. ​

That matters. Because the spaces we live and work in should support both the planet and
the people in it.​

Predicting Distortions in Additively Manufactured Parts 🔮✨

Accurately predicting distortion is a common challenge in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF).

Here, we simulated the build process using a pattern-based thermo-mechanical workflow that efficiently captures the thermal energy balance during printing and predicts the resulting distortions.

Material & Process Parameters:
• Inconel 625
• Laser power: 195 W
• Scan speed: 800 mm/s
• Layer thickness: 0.02 mm

Simulations:
♨️ Transient thermal analysis
We calculated the evolving temperature field throughout the build process.
🧱 Structural analysis

The resulting thermal history was used to drive the stress and displacement calculations.
Rather than explicitly modeling every laser scan track, an approximated heat flux was applied using a raster-based laser path representation.

As each layer was added, the model accounted for material deposition and corresponding heat input.

This approach enabled the use of a relatively coarse mesh (approximately 10 layers per element) while still capturing those thermal gradients that drive distortion.

Hence, when the thermal energy balance is represented accurately, a pattern-based approach can provide reliable distortion predictions at a fraction of the computational cost required by ultra-fine meshes or fully resolved scan-path simulations.

If you’ve been in 3DEXPERIENCE for a while… you probably don’t open the Welcome app anymore. You already know where things are.

But here’s what most experienced users miss:

👉 The Welcome app shows learning content based on your actual SOLIDWORKS role
👉 Not generic tutorials, but short, relevant courses
👉 Covering exactly what you need to work effectively on the platform

It’s not onboarding. It’s continuous optimisation of how you work.

And most people never use it 😱

Our 3DEXPERIENCE expert Lars shows how this works (and why it matters more than you think).

For many manufacturers, product data still moves manually between systems, creating delays, duplicate work and unnecessary risk.​ 📂

In this webinar, we'll explore how leading manufacturers connect PDM, PLM and ERP systems to create a reliable flow of information from engineering through downstream operations.​

Whether you're responsible for engineering, production or IT, you'll see practical examples of what best-in-class ERP integration looks like and what to consider when building a foundation that can scale.​

In pressure equipment, every part has to be accounted for. 🔩

Estanc builds pressure vessels, heat exchangers and complex steel structures for industries like energy, oil, gas and carbon capture. There, traceability isn't a nice-to-have, it's the job.

SOLIDWORKS came first, in 2011. SOLIDWORKS PDM followed in 2017. Now, every engineered part carries a unique ID from design through production to the finished product.

A single source of truth for your product data lies in ERP and PLM/PDM integration done right. 🤝

If your engineers spend hours every week looking for data, your production isn't receiving updates in time, and IT needs to babysit a fragile data management system, this session is for you. ​

Set your connections straight and join us for a 45-minute working session with experts Tero Salonen and Joakim Källén. ​

Love fluid modelling? 💙

Here, we used particle elements to model fluid dynamics. Check out this simulation, where particle-based elements mimic water behavior.

How we created the water model:

🌊 Modeled the water as a solid geometry.
🌊 Assigned an SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) element section on the body.
🌊 Applied the material properties.
🌊 Defined a dynamic explicit analysis step.
🌊 Ran the simulation

Try this trick next time you need to model fluid dynamics in Abaqus!
