SoildWorks Structural Design - Hamilton By Design   Large Assemblies with Solidworks 1.) Use the Large Assembly and Lightweight Modes for Assemblies/Drawings Large assembly mode will automatically trigger some set of performance improving options based on a user defined component threshold. Lightweight components have improved opening, rebuild, and closing times. Primarily the graphical information and reference geometry are loaded into memory, but the features that define the part are not loaded into memory. These cannot be edited or shown in the feature manager design tree. Resolved – Parts, Assemblies and Drawings: In resolved mode, all components are fully loaded in memory. Quick view – Parts: It opens the part only for viewing. You can able to select the configuration, but not the display state. You can move, scale, or rotate the model, but you cannot make changes. If any changes needed means switch to edit mode by the right-click in the graphics area and select t...

At Hamilton By design our Steel Detailing team interpret architectural and structural engineering drawings to gain a thorough working knowledge the overall design intent of a building or structure. With our extensive steel detailing and erection experience we translate information from the propose engineering or architectural design into a clear set of work shop drawings for the purpose of fabrication. The difference between design and detailing is, design is the complete creative process of taking an idea from conception and putting that concept to paper for the purpose of manufacture. Where as detailing is the first step of braking the design into manufacture-able pieces. In general these pieces become manufacture-able and are transported to site for erection. Structural Drafting Central Coast At Hamilton By Design we believe that in order to keep projects running on time and within budget both designers and detailers need the relevant experi...

Materials Handing SolidWorks large assembly management is something that is optimised over time or experience on large assemblies. Hamilton By Designers have built efficient design tools for larger assembly In many cases efficient large assembly designs can produced Simplify Parts – Only detail items that will be detailed or manufactured and use simplified models for external items. Define your hierarchy – of assemblies and sub-assemblies by breaking them up by assembly process, function or manufacturing process. Fully-define Sketches – Put some dimensions on anyway. It’ll make the change process easier for you. Configurations – only use configurations where necessary and preferably purposes of detailing. As a general rule assemblies and sub-assemblies should be limited to a maximum of 50 parts and or sub-assemblies.
