However, this is mostly out of necessity, as a mesh solver has always been the best way to accurately simulate your designs under stress or strain. This is the case for both SOLIDWORKS Simulation and Fusion 360. The one drawback is that as your mesh gets finer, your hardware requires more resources. This is in order to calculate all the stress and strain in every single tetrahedral in your geometry’s mesh. This is why

3DConnexion SpaceMouse Enterprise Kit – SolidBox Review

3dConnexion has dominated the left-hand CAD device market for some time now. After trying their line of products, it's easy to see why - well-chosen materials and an overall feel of quality. More recently, 3DConnexion has branched into the right-handed side of the CAD Workstation, with the introduction of the CADMouse last year. The CADMouse is a very solid device that makes a compelling case to ditch your old two-button mouse in favor of it. But just this month, we've been introduced to the
