Large STEP Files? No problem! - SWW21 Presentation (Free Access!)

If humongous STEP or IGES files impact the speed of your SOLIDWORKS assemblies and drawings, you need to watch this 30 minute presentation on Wednesday, February 10th, 2021 at 3:45 PM ET. The registration is free!

Session Description: 

Have you ever needed to use a complex model originating from a large STEP or IGES file in a large SOLIDWORKS assembly?

Has that increased the opening time and operational lag when working with that assembly?

This presentation focuses on highly effective techniques to quickly simplify these large models in a controlled manner, allowing the user to decide what details should be preserved and which should be removed. The positive impact on your productivity is a game changer. You will discover how to use apparently unrelated tools inside SOLIDWORKS to speed up the optimization process.

For example, who would have thought that using the Orange color as an appearance could make such a big difference?

Key Takeaways #1: Learn how to identify and measure the potential slowdown impact a large imported geometry model can have on a large assembly

Key Takeaways #2: The Orange Color is your best friend in a user-controlled simplification process of imported geometry

Key Takeaways #3: Do not use the Delete Face command, unless you are fully aware of its impact on performance
