Re: FIRST: Fwd: SolidWorks Software support for US First Teams
We have a forum dedicated to SolidWorks. CAD Solidworks / DASI
DASI is a supporting member of Team 47. They support our team as well as provide Software support for Us. I have 10 licenses of Solidworks that I use in the classroon as part of a Technology Course. Easy to use and very powerful. In fact there is a "SolidWorks" for dummies book in bookstores. The teacher guides and student guides make it very easy to get started. I prefer this package over Inventor. Its companion is CATIA - same company. Harder to learn but more power. |

Re: FIRST: Fwd: SolidWorks Software support for US First Teams
Does anyone know if this is still going on? The link given above is no longer active, and I couldn't find anything with a quick search of the FIRST and SolidWorks websites.

Here's the file that was posted a while ago. I don't know if it's still going on, but we want to try to submit it soon even though it's after the season.

Re: FIRST: Fwd: SolidWorks Software support for US First Teams
This is SO COOL... looks like autodesk is going to have a little friendly competition, good to see that SolidWorks is getting its foot in the door. I've been a user of Autodesk, IMSI, Surfware, and SolidWorks CAD/CAM software for awhile since each has its strengths...
In my opinion, Autodesk has the best part creation tools, SolidWorks has the best virtual analysis and assembly construction/testing tools, IMSI has the best value (if a bit skiddish at times) CAM system that you can buy of course dwarfed by Surfcam Velocity w/TrueMill in capability.... but also in price Wow... having COSMOS will save all first teams SOOOOO much prototyping time.... reminds me.... anyone from Xbot.... you guys use solidworks right? do i remember right that you 'prototyped' your tube pickup system in COSMOS? -q |

I e-mailed Christine Morse a little while ago to see if this offer was still valid, and it looks like it is - here's her reply.
