Here\u2019s a very useful tool you\u2019re probably not aware of. The SOLIDWORKS Simulation Cleaning Utility<\/strong> is a utility program meant to clean SOLIDWORKS\u00ae files of the Simulation data they may contain. In particular, the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Cleaning Utility lets you choose which Simulation data you want to delete among the following packages:<\/p>\n This utility is helpful when you think the accumulation of Simulation study data in a SOLIDWORKS file has degraded the file quality and you want to get rid of the study data. It also can prevent the occurrence of instability (crash) caused by corrupt data from simulation products. It can also get rid of corrupted studies to allow you to recreate them properly.<\/p>\n To use the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Cleaning Utility :<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More information in Solution Id: S-068208<\/a>.<\/p>\n – \u2013 \u2013 = = = o o O o o = = = \u2013 \u2013 –<\/p>\n That\u2019s it for this month.

What is the important information I need to know regarding SPR 862458 (Save operation may not save complete files, which may result in file corruption)?
\n<\/b>SOLIDWORKS\u00ae 2015 SP2.1 products address SPR 862458 (Save operation may not save complete files, which may result in file corruption.). This problem is specific to SOLIDWORKS 2015 products.
\nThis random problem may occur when saving in SOLIDWORKS CAD or when saving a file in an application that uses the SOLIDWORKS Document Manager such as, but not limited to, SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM, SOLIDWORKS Workgroup PDM, and SOLIDWORKS Pack and Go.
\nThe correction in 2015 SP2.1 will prevent new occurrences of the problem.
\nCustomers currently using any 2015 Service Pack older than SP2.1 should upgrade to SP2.1.
\nFrom Solution Id: S-068256<\/a>.<\/p>\n When I borrow a license from the SOLIDWORKS 2015 SolidNetWork License Manager, why do I receive the following message: \u201cSOLIDWORKS license will expire in XX days.\u201d?<\/strong>
\nThis is the intended functionality when a client machine borrows a license from the SOLIDWORKS 2015 SolidNetWork License Manager system. This message will appear at the start of every SOLIDWORKS 2015 session, when using a borrowed license. For more information, see Solution Id: S-068283<\/a>.<\/p>\n How do I enable or activate SOLIDWORKS\u00ae 2015 Xpress products?<\/strong>
\nBeginning with SOLIDWORKS 2015, Xpress products require a \u2018Product Code\u2019 to run. To obtain your product code:<\/p>\n\n

Will the SOLIDWORKS Workgroup PDM Viewer 2015 work with a Windows 7 x32 bit client computer?<\/b>
\nYes, provided that the client has installed eDrawings 2015 Special Edition (SE) on a Win 7 32 bit client; they will be able to view files in a SOLIDWORKS Workgroup PDM 2015 Vault.
\nPlease refer to Solution S-068140<\/a> for more information about the 32-bit Limited Edition of eDrawings. From Solution Id: S-068226<\/a>.<\/p>\n In SOLIDWORKS\u00ae Enterprise PDM with Active Directory users hosted on Windows\u00ae Server 2003, what could cause all Windows user logins to fail with \u201cThe entered user name or password is incorrect\u201d?
\n<\/b>It is possible that Windows authentication will fail if the Windows users are managed by a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory (Domain Controller) and the \u201cSecurity Update for Windows Server 2003 (KB3002657)\u201d is installed.
