In this episode of SOLIDWORKS Live Design, we explore the new AI-powered Virtual Companions, LEO and AURA, available in SOLIDWORKS 2026 FD01 through the new SOLIDWORKS Labs (Beta) tab.
Can engineering settle some of football's biggest debates?
In this episode of SOLIDWORKS LIVE Design, we put some of the sport's most controversial claims to the test using engineering, computational simulation, physics, aerodynamics, and materials science.
Rather than relying on opinions, we examine how modern engineering explains the way a football behaves in flight—and why decades of innovation have changed the world's most popular sport.
In this episode, you'll discover:
⚽ How football design has evolved over time
🌪️ How aerodynamics influence curve, speed, and stability
📐 Why ball geometry and panel design matter
🧪 How materials science transformed modern footballs
💻 How engineers use simulation to analyze real-world performance
📡 How technology is changing the game on and off the pitch
Whether you're an engineer, SOLIDWORKS user, football fan, student, or simply curious about the science behind great product design, this episode reveals how engineering helps explain every kick, curve, and goal.
