    , Principal Consultant, TamirConsulting

    Join us for a workshop dedicated to one of the most critical elements of any Quality Management System (QMS): Document Control. Document control is truly at the heart of an effective QMS—without a solid, well-managed process, the very documents that form the backbone of your quality system cannot be properly maintained or trusted. In this session, participants will learn the fundamentals of creating, organizing, and maintaining essential QA documents, along with best practices for ensuring they remain current and controlled. We’ll also explore the fundamentals of the workflow system—an essential tool within the DELMIAWorks QA Suite—that supports consistent and compliant document management. This hands-on workshop is ideal for both beginners and experienced users who want to strengthen their understanding of document control and reinforce this vital foundation of quality assurance.

    This presentation is an annual update on benchmarking studies (over 379,000 runs to date) that break down major hardware areas to help understand the impact on SOLIDWORKS performance. This year, we look at the latest Intel Core Ultra processors to see how they compare with the previous Intel Core I series. We will also be looking at the latest Blackwell graphics cards from Nvidia to see how they compare to previous generations. Through strong partnerships with hardware suppliers such as Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Dell, Lenovo, and Boxx, we have been able to test trending hardware, including, but not limited to, Intel Pro processors, AMD Threadripper processors, Nvidia and AMD professional workstation graphic cards, and various workstation set-ups. Are there specific hardware performance metrics you’re interested in learning about? Are you considering an upgrade and want to know which components give you the best performance boost? Don’t buy another system until you see the latest data.

    Did you start in Design Engineering only to realize you're more fascinated by how the software and systems connect behind the scenes? Maybe the nuts and bolts became less exciting than the data, tools, and workflows that drive collaboration. That shift—from building things to understanding how they work together—is exactly the path I followed. In this session, I’ll share how I transitioned from engineering into a successful CAD/PDM software administrator role. You’ll learn practical strategies for mastering complex systems, building strong cross-functional relationships, and positioning yourself as a trusted systems expert. Whether you're exploring a career pivot or looking to deepen your impact, this session will help you take the next step.

    Today, manufacturers expect speed, simplicity, and smart Workflows. Users want intuitive tools that align with how they actually work, without altering DELMIAWorks ERP. Fewer clicks and task-focused tools are expected on the shop floor, and in SCM, Sales, and Finance. IT wants to avoid custom code maintenance while still enabling tailored, efficient workflows. Users often resort to repetitive entry, manual spreadsheet management, and manual validation. The Arisoft App Suite is built for users with a suite of micro-apps that eliminate friction in DELMIAWorks usage, especially: corner processes, warehouse and inventory, guided kitting, custom pick tickets, line-level component validation, inventory price updates, physical inventory upload for Finance and Procurement, standard cost uploader, mass PO updates, AKA price tools master data utilities, item master and inspection uploads, capture extended attributes for Sales and Shipping, eCommerce integration, fast SO upload, and label verification.

    Join us as we recount our epic quest to ensure every piece of engineering data is 100% accounted for, not just replicated. While replication is a major challenge, it’s only part of the story. Our mission is to ensure data is healthy, available when needed, and intelligently managed to reduce overhead and storage costs, all without slowing down our design engineers. In this session, we’ll explore how we tackled these challenges using data-driven strategies and a touch of creativity. You’ll see how we moved beyond traditional replication to build a system that’s lean, responsive, and reliable. There won’t be fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, or true love, but there will be AI, and that should satisfy our target audience. We could tell you more now… but we don’t want to spoil the ending.

    Want to automate with the SOLIDWORKS API but aren't sure where to start? As Keith walks you through the creation of a powerful macro from scratch, you'll learn about the three foundational skills of SOLIDWORKS API programming and what resources can help you achieve proficiency. In depth description: I walk the attendees through the creation of a simple macro that adds a configuration to a part and configures a hole wizard hole's diameter. Then I create a user form by which the user could control the diameter. In doing so, I demonstrate how to use the macro recorder and API Help. I briefly cover topics like VBA programming and the API Object Model. I have presented this several times in the past at SWW and have received average scores as high as 4.6/5.0. Learn what the SOLIDWORKS API is, how it can benefit your company, what foundational skills are necessary to use it API with proficiency, and what mistakes to avoid as a beginner API programmer.

    Don't let your SOLIDWORKS configurations get out of control! Ditch tedious and complicated variation management and unlock the power of Excel Design Tables! Do you want to supercharge your CAD models to do more without making them unmanageable for others? Join SOLIDWORKS Champion and User Group leader, Josh Mayes, for this engaging presentation designed to transform the way you create and manage your designs. In this session, we'll dive into the world of Design Tables, the most powerful yet often underutilized tool for automating variations of your parts and assemblies. You'll see demonstrations how to utilize embedded Excel to create and manage an entire family of parts within a single file, a far more efficient approach than using "Save As..." This workshop is for beginners to experienced professionals, who want to learn how to streamline their design process and avoid chaos when managing complex part families. Come prepared to learn and get inspired!
