Among them is your SOLIDWORKS Technical Support team. Well, we\u2019re not really here to learn. We\u2019ll network if our various booth assignments, duties, meetings, and presentations don\u2019t eat up all of our time. But we will make sure to have fun doing all that.<\/p>\n<p>As we were busy preparing for SOLIDWORKS World, on Sunday, we shared the Phoenix Convention Center with cheerleaders gathered for the Aloha International Spirit Championship. That made up for some very odd and funny encounters in the in the hallways.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6617 colorbox-6615\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Cheerleader-competition-at-Phoenix-Convention-Center.jpg\" alt=\"Cheerleader competition at Phoenix Convention Center\" width=\"800\" height=\"274\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As the conference rolled on, the SOLIDWORKS Technical Support team shared knowledge, best practices, tips, and tricks with users during numerous breakout sessions. These are where we tickle your brain, challenge you and present new ways to solve problems and make the best possible use of SOLIDWORKS. In the picture below, Bill Dziedzic, SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation expert, is presenting a hands-on breakout session for beginners, introducing them to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6621 colorbox-6615\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Bill-Dziedzic-presenting-SWW-2015-2.jpg\" alt=\"Bill Dziedzic presenting SWW 2015 (2)\" width=\"664\" height=\"351\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As usual, we also maintained a continuous presence at the Technical Support booth in the DASSAULT SYSTEMES section of the Partner Pavilion, with specialists in each and every area (CAD, Simulation, PDM, Electrical, etc.) to engage with customers who stop by to share a drink (of soda, clearly) with our teammates.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6625 colorbox-6615\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/SOLIDWORKS-Booth-at-SWW-2015.jpg\" alt=\"SOLIDWORKS Booth at SWW 2015\" width=\"661\" height=\"320\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although SOLIDWORKS World is not the time and place to actually solve technical issues (that is what our teammates who stayed in the office were doing), we did everything we could to answer questions on the fly. And when that was not possible, we relied on our pals back in the office who put in a tremendous effort to maintain our usual highest level of support quality even with a skeleton crew. Kudos to them!<\/p>\n<h2>Spotlight on Features: Sheet Metal and Gauge table rules (Part I)<\/h2>\n<p>In the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/2015\/01\/spotlight-on-features-sheet-metal-and-gauge-table-rules-part-i\/\">November blog<\/a> we looked at the sheet metal bend and gauge table parameters.<br \/>\nThis month will be concentrating on some these sheet metal and gauge tables rules.
