Actually he wants to add the meshing options from the Plastics Simulation into SW Sim (FEA). Plastics already has them. 
Always worth reading something twice just to make sure you have it 100% right.
I had read it the other way round or at least my brain put it that way.
Resellers shouldn’t be participating in this…or should have their own. There are a few AEs I would trust like Alin but this ER alone is showing the weakness of their system. If this is truly a Turkish reseller’s employees padding these votes, then their motivation is probably ‘sales’ related and we get enough of that crap annually already.
yep. Alin is exceptional.
Posted this a moment ago on the SW Forum:
One more point of view. At this moment, the #1 Idea got only 52 votes. The #10 Idea got only 28 votes.
With such a low participation, I would welcome more “lobbying” from all stakeholders: Dassault, VARs, users.
You like an idea and want it promoted, talk about it with your friends and co-workers.
You work for a large company with many seats of SW and want to get SW to focus on what you need? Call everyone in a meeting and ask them to vote on a shortlist of ideas that are important to you and your company. Stuff the ballots!!!
Would be nice to see hundreds of votes and then we can complain about rigging the system. At this point it is critical to get users aware and interested.
How can one complain in March that SW does not listen to him/her they, when they do not spent a few minutes in January telling SW what to do? The TTL is a unique opportunity for that.
In Summary, feel free to promote the ideas you feel strongly about a much as you want. Let’s see those votes coming!
Good one. Will show it to my wife. 
Hmmm… you voted on his idea. I voted on his idea. Deepak voted on his idea. Many users on this forum voted on his idea.
I thought we vote on the merit of each ideas, not on who submitted it.
How do we know if resellers (other than me) voted for his idea? They could be Turkish (and other nationalities) users.
I’m not saying people shouldn’t vote for the idea. I don’t use that function so I didn’t, but I get it that some would. If you look at the voter list however, the vast majority of people who voted are showing from Turkey in their profile, and Istanbul at that. That just seems a little suspect.
All but 5 people are from Turkey <()>
I googled two of them and they are AE’s at a reseller…I bet the rest are the same.
And why is it I can’t find the Top Ten List on the site easily. I have to come here and get a shortcut. Dassault didn’t make it easy to find, no wonder there is so little participation.
I took time to watch the videos on how to search for enhancement ideas and how to post new ones. It’s… well… NM.
I admit I kinda like what the admin did by creating templates, although they’re not calling them templates. Fred used that term I think. Anyway, the idea of putting the lists of possible tags in several categories and then asking user to remove the non-applicable ones is good IMO. OR at least better than just leaving it blank and hoping users find the right tags. Seems like the admin is trying to make some lemonade.
The idea of generic tags with no structure is a fundamental flaw. It’s like having several data fields with predefined dropdown lists but taking every possible drop-down option from every possible field in the entire platform and putting them in a grab bag. I get that from an object oriented or relational database perspective a tag object is a tag object, and we can store them all in one table. But if we’re going to do that, we need the application layer to sort them out into meaningful structures for the user. Instead, they just let the users select all the items from every dropdown list. I could leave all of the tags for the “Frequency of use” field in the post and then what? Confusion.
The vote padding is being done by employees at a Turkish reseller called Tekyaz. Mostly application engineers but one is an “HR resources expert” and has no engineering background at all. <()>
Wow! That is nuts!
I go there to look and vote but maybe half of the features that sound nice have been marked by the admin as Implemented and then there’s discussion by other users confirming that the “admin” misunderstood and the request is either not implemented or was implemented poorly. This is rather discouraging.
There are A LOT of ideas with more votes that would be of absolutely no use where I work and likely get in the way.
What’s the different between Enhancement Idea and Top Ten List?
Shouldn’t Top Ten get voted from Enhancement Idea?
spin the dial.
- lack of planning?
- lack of cohesive goal/vision?
- because getting customers to copy paste all their ERs from the Portal over to the SWYMp once isn’t enough, it’s more fun to have them do it for the TTL then again in the new ER Community?
- someone thinks there needs to be an entry cutoff date?
- keep “endorsements” for the TTL separate from the ER community endorsements?
- make it more confusing to correlate a TTL idea to the matching ER?
- they can close up the TTL and take it offline so we cannot see votes and such a year later when it’s time to copy paste them to the next TTL?
- so there’s not a single, connected place in one connected platform for developers and users to innovatively ideate about the minutia of how to implement the top 10 once they are selected?

Some big moves up the list for a couple of ideas in the last few days.
If you go by the figure in the blog of 6+ million Solidworks in the user ecosystem
Say the winner of the top ten may get 100 votes then that would give approximately 0.0016% had voted for it, if my sums are right. I think I did a similar calculation years ago when the old system ran. Back then it was more like 2 million users, I would guess, but there was more votes (200+?) and probably less mass voting by resellers.
They don’t make it easy to find and vote on. There are websites out there dedicated to this kind of stuff and they shoehorn it into their platform.
“Small Group Election”
Only the selected and connected know when, where and how to vote.
