Pretty bold statement. But, then again, when you have been riding at the top (SW, that is), we come to expect big things from you. I am sure I won’t be disappointed. Being a Partner of SolidWorks, I come into these events with a totally different perspective than I suspect 99% of the attendees. I am literally coming to absorb, learn and come away with a glimpse of the future. But on the same token, I’m hard to disappoint and thrill at the same time. I take it all in stride, I view all new features as awesome but yet leave wanting so much more.
We work with all of the major MCAD systems, so it is crucial that we understand the workflow, new features and general coolness of each package. This way, when we add new functionality to CFdesign, it looks familiar and even promotes the functionality in the MCAD system.
Some of the things I am looking forward to the most.
- Sustainability Hands-on – Definitely a buzzword this year at #au2009 and now at #sww10. Clearly has the momentum. How it will help engineers select materials is awesome, BUT – think of how simulation can fine tune this and take it to the next level. Selecting the proper cooling material for a heat sink, what impact on the world does the fluid you are using have? Suppose you could virtually “swap” materials in a virtual design study?
- What’s New in SolidWorks 2011- I’ll be blunt, what I really care most about is how will SW/DS truly leverage the web more. All of the other stuff users will care about- making SW slicker is always cool, but come on people take 3D MCAD to the next level in the cloud. First to acknowledge that I don’t know exactly what that means, but I suspect SW does.
Tonight, is one of a few Blogger/Tweetups that I am really looking forward to. Great to meet up with some old friends as well as put a face to a tweet. Much more to come.
