San Diego BS Thread.

Currently and for the foreseeable future there is no doubt that Solidworks is the industry standard and most common. Solidworks has put itself in in a lot of schools and training programs to ensure that a lot of people are familiar with it which engourages employers to use it as well so they have a larger talent pool to pick from. Because there are more potential employers using Solidworks, this results in more employment opportunities.
Solidworks also has a similar interface to more specialized software like Catia or Pro-e which may be preferred by primes like Boeing etc. should you choose that path the transition will be easier as well. Just my .02 from what I see from the last 20 years in the defense and aerospace industry. Hope this helps.

 

Tyler is 100% right! In addition the plugins for Solidworks, or the analyses tools are absolutely amazing, I use them daily to run simulations for fatigue, flexural as well as thermodynamic testing and is where solidworks edges out from of some of the other 3-d modeling programs. I can't think of any technology industry that would not recognize Solidworks training in a potential employee.

 

ok, that's cool that you can run fatigue simulation.
thanks again Mr. Eric.

thanks for the info Tyler, i just realized that there is absolutely no market for this in our area of MISS. we do have a GE plant but that's 2 hours north of us, i believe it builds airplane turbines.

i'll have to look into it, thanks.
license? do you have to renew after a certain amount of time? or just buy another program?

 

Having a skill like that in an area that is void of such education/ experience could pay off big.

 

true, maybe i could take a welding course, and a CAD course.
then i can work part time as a welder, while i'm looking for a CAD job.

these options are killing me.

 

Shit, bored, whats going on today SD peeps ??

option 1. trail run

option 2. trail run

option 3. rebuild springs

option 4. trail run

option 5. stay home,get drunk, & piss the day away...

 

trail run!!!!!!!!!!!

 

well, as far as the meet and greet goes, pool should be open for business, and gary might be working on some entertainment. stay tuned. should have horse shoes up and running then too

 

Yeah we gotta get out there Andrew but for me the dez is probably a bit warm today & a little too far.. maybe local ?? Hmmmm

Option 5 is almost a lock...

 

Drinking a nice tall margarita next tithe pool sounds the like the best option to me.

 

You break out the blender & I'll bring the patrone

 

you gonna make the bbq-kegger-wtf ever, andrew ? i see you once in a while in east lake. last time i saw you , you were leaving what ever mall is out there east of the 125

 

Ok, did Doug take off on a local trail run?

 

Night run in the desert?

 

I dont have the funds to head out to the mojave trip, so im pretty sure ill be there, gunna request the weekend off from work.

Ohh nice, yeah I live down the street from that mall ahah

 

Temptingggg........hahah

 

I did just get a 2m....so some equipment testing might be in order

 

Do sho I ditched my cb for a 2m

 

Off topic question here... Are there any radio freq. you monitor regularly? ie: law enforcement, ems/fire. I'm trying to program some channels into my radio so I can listen in on the action. Right now I'm tuned into 151.350 sounds like a fire rescue channel lots of air tac codes and jargon. Something's going on down in cedar creek sounds like an airlift or something also a fire out in some avocado grove. Radios are fun!
