My favorite way to optimize SolidWorks? Smart modeling practice - minimize external ref, reduce relations, complex features last #DellCAD

Running SW2010 on Windows 7 64bit with 8G Ram, working pretty well #DellCAD
“
If upgrading to SolidWorks 2011, go Windows 7 64bit, 6GB RAM minimum (It's cheap!), 1GB graphics card is nice too. @Cadalyst_Mag #DellCAD

Ooh, question about #SolidWorks file collaboration optimization on #DellCAD - now you've got my full attention!

@waldenweb - 8GB of RAM -- worth it, you think? I believe the more RAM, the better. #DellCAD
“
@bcbenton file collaboration: two ways - 1) work off network with established file name convention #DellCAD
“

@bcbenton file collaboration (cont) 2) invest in PDM system. sad but true with that. pricey but worth it for med to large company. #DellCAD

I like answer #2 to @bcbenton question on SWX file collaboration - use PDM if you can afford it. You get collab AND other benefits #DellCAD
“
Did you know Dell Precision workstations are specifically designed for professionals like those of you who use #SolidWorks? #DellCAD
“
@Cadalyst_Mag @waldenweb running one rig with 2 Processors and 24GB of RAM.... wooooow, worth it. #DellCAD
“
lightweight components and large assembly mode will help with the optimization. #Dellcad
“
@jonathanpscott what are your thoughts on how PDM helps optimize SolidWorks and Workstation? #DellCAD
“
I just drooled a little: @SolidSmack @waldenweb running one rig with 2 Processors and 24GB of RAM.... wooooow, worth it. #DellCAD
“
Questions about CAD hardware configurations? Ask a #Dell expert - @DellRonnie - on #DellCAD
“
true, and SpeedPacks! @lazytrax: lazytrax: lightweight components and large assembly mode will help with SolidWorks optimization. #Dellcad
“
#DellCAD @SolidSmack One big way is thru view/search ability - non-PDM SWX users sometimes load everything into session just to find 1 part
“
@SolidSmack @bcbenton 1/file share or 2/PDM is pretty much all what available today mainstream for collaboration. #dellcad
“
#DellCAD: We've got another reader who is new to #SolidWorks RealView. Any tips on hardware or software optimization?
“
#DellCAD @SolidSmack Another PDM plus is managing the 3D->2D link. SWX is OK on the 2D->3D direction. But can cost time to find drws from 3D

“
unreal RT @Cadalyst_Mag: I just drooled a little: @SolidSmack @waldenweb running one rig with 2 Processors and 24GB of RAM.. #DellCAD
“
@Cadalyst_Mag One way to ensure a good RealView experience is to have a professional level graphics card. #DellCAD http://bit.ly/brRb6X
“
#DellCAD @bcbenton One more collab tip for SWX is using "multi-user env" options - bad news is it doesn't always play nice with PDM systems.

A SolidWorks certified GPU will help with RealView. Can view here... some req' additional file http://bit.ly/oyunZT @Cadalyst_Mag #DellCAD

#Dellcad RealView feels distracting/unnecessary, not real. Zebra stripes w/surfaces and preview w/PW pretty much removes the need also
“
#Dellcad that should be: preview with PhotoView, PV, not PW

@olegshilovitsky #DellCAD Oleg - you are right about that! LOL I rarely model much more than a plate. :)

#DellCAD Not all SSDs are created equally - remember to check the specs. Its like the difference between 4200 RPM drives and 10k RPM drives.
“
@SolidSmack @jonathanpscott #Dellcad SSD for system disk & SATA for storage/simulation dumping ground <- would be my ideal combo
“
@tonyisme Sounds like a good combo. #DellCAD @DellRonnie - are there Precisions that have multiple HDD config options?
