Sounds

In order to get a more "3D Experience" in SolidWorks I would like to have more sounds.

Looking at SW2013 there are some new enhancements but making a ping when opening or closing a file is not what I am looking for.

"Real sounds" - simulation

I would like to simulate a machine how it sounds in reality.

Electrical Motors, pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders, collisions with different materials etc.

It make sense to include this in Motion with an extra track or two if sounds. Maybe a background sound track also ?

When demonstrate dynamic collisions and turning on the "ping" it always brings an extra smile on the audience.

Show a machine and make it sound as in reality would be fantastic.

Also a competetive advantage for us selling SW and customers presenting their design.

It is all about the fun factor when working. It is important and could change a behavior

(look here http://thefuntheory.com/  check the piano stairs)

Fun sounds

When making a feature example a hole - a drill sound could appear. Or a fastener - wratchet wrench sound.

Simulation animation - bending sound. etc.. Max stress result over the Yield strength a cracking sound.

SolidWorks Tool - The Sound Channel

When going into a factory you can here the machines working and a good noice of something happening.

Going into the engineering department - dead silence.. what are people doing?

It would be good to have a channel to listen to the engineering work so people can hear the design progress.

Features being created. Simulation results. Machine simulation etc..
