With SOLIDWORKS 2018, you can Check for solutions when SOLIDWORKS crashes<\/strong>, a new option available in \u2018Options > System Option\u2019.<\/p>\n When enabled, SOLIDWORKS will make sure you never miss out on an available solution to your crash. How so? When it unexpectedly quits, SOLIDWORKS compares the type of crash with similar crashes that the SOLIDWORKS R&D team has already fixed, either in a later service pack or through a Hotfix.<\/p>\n The SOLIDWORKS Error Report<\/strong> dialog box has been redesigned in order to be more actionable when you just experienced a crash. If a fix is available, a medikit<\/strong> icon will appear in a section with green background to inform you how to benefit for the fix:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Your feedback and your awareness are two important factors, this is why we encourage you to take part to both SOLIDWORKS Customer Experience Improvement Program<\/strong> and the Check for solutions when SOLIDWORKS crashes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Last month<\/a>, Brian discussed the topic of Linear Static Productivity<\/span><\/strong>.

Is Microsoft\u00ae .NET Framework 4.7 compatible with SOLIDWORKS\u00ae 2017?
\n<\/b>SOLIDWORKS\u00ae 2017 is tested for compatibility with Microsoft\u00ae .NET Framework 4.5.2.
\nMicrosoft provides the .NET Framework 4.7 version as an update to version 4.5.2.
\nIt is an expectation that version 4.7 is backwards compatible with installations that require .NET Framework 4.5.2. Microsoft is responsible for backwards compatibility.

When I attempt to check SOLIDWORKS\u00ae files in to a SOLIDWORKS PDM vault, why do I see an error that states \u2018An invalid pointer was supplied to the method\u2019?
\n<\/b>If you see this error message along with a client log error message similar to the following, it indicates that the \u2018SWDocumentMgr\u2019 dll\u2019s are not registered properly on the system performing the check in.
\nFor a resolution of this problem, see Solution Id: S-073437<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Screen-capture4.png\")
\u00a0For SOLIDWORKS\u00ae Simulation, how do I use a SOLIDWORKS\u00ae Rx file to identify the \u2018License Order\u2019 for a SolidNetWork License (SNL) client?
\n<\/b>To identify the \u2018License Order\u2019 for a SolidNetWork License (SNL) client using a SOLIDWORKS\u00ae Rx file, follow the steps in Solution Id: S-073340<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Motion-Icon.png\"){kind=icon}
<\/strong> In SOLIDWORKS\u00ae Motion, is it possible to use an \u2018Action & reaction\u2019 force expression to approximate the behavior of a nonlinear damper with a non-integer exponent?
\n<\/strong>It is possible to use an \u2018Action & reaction\u2019 force expression to approximate the behavior of a nonlinear damper with a non-integer exponent. For an example, download and extract the ZIP file attached to Solution Id: S-073284<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Flow-Simulation-icon.png\"){kind=icon}
In SOLIDWORKS\u00ae Flow Simulation, how do I calculate the efficiency of a turbine?
\n<\/strong>You can use SOLIDWORKS\u00ae Flow Simulation to calculate the efficiency of a turbine or a pump by using an equation goal. Follow the methodology explained in Solution Id: S-073260<\/a>.<\/p>\n
