Technical Communication Beginner

SOLIDWORKS MBD

The SOLIDWORKS MBD Course simplifies the manufacturing process by teaching you to embed product data directly into 3D models. Learn to publish 3D PDFs and work with eDrawings in this one-day course, geared toward enhancing manufacturing communication.

The SOLIDWORKS MBD (Model Based Definition) course is designed to teach participants how to use SOLIDWORKS MBD to communicate product and manufacturing information (PMI) directly in 3D formats. This approach eliminates the need for separate 2D drawing files by enabling users to represent PMI directly within a 3D model and publish this information to 3D PDF, eDrawings, or STEP 242 file formats.

This course aims to equip users with the necessary skills and concepts to successfully utilize SOLIDWORKS MBD, enhancing efficiency and clarity in the design-to-manufacturing process.

Network vs. Standalone

A Network license allows multiple users to share a pool of licenses across a network, while a Standalone license is tied to a single computer and can only be used by one user at a time.

  • If you are a sole user or prefer to have dedicated licenses for each machine, a standalone license will likely be the best option. However, for teams that need to share licenses across multiple users or locations, network licenses offer greater flexibility.

 

Term vs. Perpetual

With a perpetual license, you own the software and can use it forever, while with a term license, you only have access to the software for the duration of your subscription period. 

  • If you have stable design needs, a predictable budget and want to own the software outright, perpetual is your best option. For companies with fluctuating project needs who want lower upfront costs and flexibility to adjust their software usage, term licenses are your best option.
