3DEXPERIENCE World: Model Mania® 2022

Every year SOLIDWORKS hosts one of the largest engineering conferences in the world. Since SOLIDWORKS World 2000, Model Mania® has been an attraction for many engineers wanting to show off their SOLIDWORKS skills. Model Mania, for those not familiar, is a design challenge where you are measured on both time and accuracy. #solidworks Take a look at all o the past Model Manias here! blogs.solidwor...

Please share more videos on SolidWorks

I'm so curious to know more about solidworks simulation , and also want a certification in solidworks 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

[@TABL3SIX]

Mass I was right: 128.69 grams, I got a FOS of 2.30586. Not sure what I did wrong. Followed along exactly as Jenn did. Hmmmm🤔

[@JohnDoe-gv9jv]

Thank you.

[@youngplaneandmechanicaleng8048]

Hi. I want to participate in the model mania contest but I don't know how to register. I would be very happy if you tell me how to register. thank you.

[@bjh9501]

You might want to check the video title. (2021?)

[@QwertyCanada]

sir

[@treycooper6898]

Is there a place where the correct mass for these models is already listed or is modeling a part that follows these exact steps the only way to find that out?

[@christophersmith7664]

I got 128.80 because of how I did that 12mm fillet. I didn't think of doing that as a fillet, so I made a lofted surface (line to semicircle with the 12mm radius as a guide rail in the center) and then extruded up to it. D'oh!

[@gddam]

you must fillet type is "face fillet"

[@hoanguyennhu4007]

Model Mania 2021?? Back to the future 🤣

[@donpablo5655]

How can we join in this Model Mania?

[@adamkozlevich7282]

How did you find out that the radius on 1:38 is 24?

[@mduzondi]

using a radius, from the bottom to the center it's 24 and from the bottom to the lower part of the outer circle it's 12, which makes 24-12 = 12 radius of the outer circle.

[@christophersmith7664]

@Adam Kozlevich I think you mean diameter. How I got that was from looking at the width of the part. It's 24mm wide and the sides are tangent to the largest circular boss. Therefore, the diameter of that boss is 24mm.

[@drexel050]

At 3:25 you add a midpoint constraint that TECHNICALLY is not correct. If you look at the drawing, that hole location is dimensioned to the side of the part (12mm dim). While that is currently the center of the 24mm wide part, in theory the hole would stay 12mm away from that side wall if the overall width was changed. Kind of more of a "try to guess the design intent from a drawing" issue, but I think that's kind of part of the point?

[@LamarSweeney]

yep totally agree. She also does the hole as an extrude cut instead of using the Hole Wizard which is considered bad practice.

[@mrdixioner]

You are not right. The vertical dimension of 12 mm in the drawing is shown alone, which means the hole is located in the middle, which is shown in the video. Such designations always indicate that this is the center. And the horizontal position has a duplicate size, which clearly indicates that in this case the hole is not in the center.

[@javiertj9937]

The way she potitioned the drill is quite weird, as she only needed to make a 3d sketch on the inner face to make the drill and put the constraint on the x axis. I say that in my own ignorant opinion although I know she did it to teach us how to fix drill sketches.
