SolidWorks for Dummies

I don't think there are many SolidWorks users (or engineers and designers in general) who are "Dummies", but if you know about this line of books is really helpful in making thinigs simple to understand. And now there is one written about 3D CAD -- SolidWorks for Dummies.

You can get it at Amazon for under $20 bucks, and the book includes a free demo CD with videos about SolidWorks.

My Favorite Car - Koenigsegg

The Koenigsegg CC holds the road speed record for a production car (242 mph). I'm putting it on my Christmas list!

Koenigsegg CCR has a very powerful engine thanks to the Swedish Lysholm twin-screw compressor and a new exhaust system made of titanium. This takes the engine’s power output to the extreme peak value of 806 hp at 6.900 rpm. The torque curve also shows high values over a broad revolution band with a peak value of 920 Nm (678 ftlb) at 5.700 rpm.

This link takes you to the best page on the Koenigsegg website - lots of pics of the car and a few really cool videos. My favorite video is the one of the world speed record - the best part is the sound, so get some good speakers and crank it up.

Very Clever eDrawing

Someone emailed this to me and I thought it was quite clever - it really shows how looking at things in 3D vs 2D can change your perspective. If you need the free eDrawings 3D CAD viewer, go to www.edrawingsviewer.com - it allows you to publish from most CAD systems.... SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Pro/E, Solid Edge, etc.

Here is a link to download the eDrawings 3D file.
