Should you Outsource your Simulation Needs? In the realm of modern engineering and product development, simulation has emerged as a crucial component. It’s not just about predicting the behavior of a product but optimizing its performance, ensuring reliability, and speeding up the development process. A critical decision many companies face is whether to outsource their simulation needs or bring them in-house. While outsourcing might seem like an attractive option, bringing simulation capabilities in-house using powerful software tools is a more strategic and beneficial choice. Here’s why… Greater Control & Flexibility When you bring simulation in-house, you maintain full control over the process. This means you can run simulations whenever necessary, tweak parameters, and iterate quickly without relying on external schedules. In-house capabilities allow for rapid adjustments and real-time decision-making, which is especially crucial in fast-paced industries where agility and responsiveness can make a significant difference. Enhanced Data Security Outsourcing simulation tasks involves sharing sensitive data with third-party providers. This exposes your intellectual property to potential security risks. By keeping simulation in-house, you ensure that your proprietary data and designs remain secure. With tools like SOLIDWORKS Simulation and SIMULIA from Dassault...

Why SOLIDWORKS Is Telling Us Our Licenses Will Expire, And How To Fix It Have you ever fired up SOLIDWORKS and been greeted by this? You might think “but I renewed my subscription three months ago” or “we’re not on subscription, but we have perpetual licenses.” What’s going on here? Annual Reactivation of Perpetual Licenses Starting with SOLIDWORKS 2022, Dassault Systems changed how perpetual licenses are handled. Instead of a one-time activation, they changed it so perpetual licenses must be re-activated once a year. No money is needed; this is just a “check in” to the license server at DS to make sure that the computer running SOLIDWORKS is legit. Being the most popular mechanical CAD system in the world means SOLIDWORKS is a tempting target for pirates, and this annual re-activation is one way to combat that. Status Report You can see the status of your SOLIDWORKS licenses from inside of SOLIDWORKS itself. Click on the “?” icon in the upper-right corner of the SOLIDWORKS window, and towards the bottom of the drop-down menu, you’ll find Licenses. Click on Show… and you’ll see a dialog box showing your product activation status. Note that there is a column for the Reactivation Date for each product activated on that computer, and note that it can be different that your Maintenance (ie Subscription) expiration date: ...
