SOLIDWORKS - Jazzy Tips & Tricks - ABRIDGED

John will present an Abridged version of the SOLIDWORKS Tips and Tricks that he co-presented with Betty Baker and Joe Lance during the past two World Conferences. He will also share some of his recent experiences with SOLIDWORKS connected version and setting up SOLIDWORKS on a new computer with the latest tech! (Which we all know can be fun or frustrating)

Paul Parise is a long-time user of SOLIDWORKS and has presented at SOLIDWORKS World, SOLIDWORKS Corporate Headquarters, and Users Groups across the country. 

Having Fun with SOLIDWORKS™
or things that are fun to do, but you shouldn’t do during working hours
Paul Parise will offer some tips and tricks about SOLIDWORKS, but with a twist. We will examine some models showing how to use SOLIDWORKS to model and understand interesting things all around us. This session will consist of several short subjects. We will adjust our discussion based on questions or interests of the audience.
Examples are:
Using Sketch Blocks to understand how to make more efficient engines for our cars.
Using Dynamic Drag to design a better oil pump for NASCAR race engines
A quick look at Space Telescopes, Space Travel and the Planets
Some history and philosophy resulting in triangles, cubes and pyramids
A quick look at fractals in art and engineering
And many more, covering mathematics, inner and outer space, depending on audience interests.

Please RSVP below. We look forward to seeing you there!
