The winner of the May Contest is Deepak Gupta! The contest was to see who could list the highest number of SolidWorks related forums not currently listed at Lorono’s SolidWorks Resources. The contest itself generated over 70 comments, with about 65 or so submissions. I am personally amazed by the total number of submissions.
For his efforts, Deepak wins a CSWSP-FEA test. From the SolidWorks website,
“The Certified SolidWorks Professional Simulation Specialist exam is designed to test an individual’s complete understanding of Simulation tools inside SolidWorks. Candidates who successfully pass this certification exam have demonstrated the ability to set up, run, and examine the results of various types of Simulation scenarios. They also have demonstrated the ability to interpret the various results available to them in SolidWorks Simulation.”
Best of luck to you, Deepak. I’ll send you the info for taking your test by the end of the week. I hope you pass with flying colors!
Honorable mention goes to Frank Dijkstra.
The June Contest will be announced next week. Best of luck to everyone!
congratz Deepak 🙂
Matt – I tried posting a list of my own, but WordPress thought I was trying to spam you. Check your email.

Here’s Matt’s list:
Here’s my list of places where SolidWorks is discussed. Some more than others. Some of these are obvious, and likely overlap Deepak’s list, but I haven’t had a chance to compare lists. Remember how I said to stop thinking about CAD?
