SOLIDWORKS Simulation for Finite Element Analysis

SOLIDWORKS Simulation for Finite Element Analysis

SOLIDWORKS Simulation offers tools that can help you test your designs and determine how to best enhance the quality of your products. In order to perform effective stress analysis, designers need to know not only the SOLIDWORKS Simulation user interface, but also the methodology and application of finite element analysis (FEA) in general. This course introduces how to set up a model for FEA analysis, run the analysis, and interpret the results to optimize your SOLIDWORKS models. Upon completing this course, you’ll have the knowledge you need to carry out FEA with confidence.

SOLIDWORKS Simulation Standard is an intuitive virtual testing environment for static linear, time-based motion, and high-cycle fatigue simulation. It delivers a concurrent engineering approach, helping you know if your product will perform properly and how long it will last—during the design phase.

SOLIDWORKS Simulation for Finite Element Analysis Topics include:

  • Setting up Simulation properties and defined viewsSOLIDWORKS Simulation
  • Preparing the geometry
  • Setting up a local coordinate system
  • Splitting surfaces
  • Defining the constraint and the loads
  • Meshing
  • Running analysis
  • Contour control
  • XY plots

This course shows you all the steps you need to follow to be able to prepare, run, and review all aspects of FEA. The end goal is to be able to produce a report, which is going to really impress the reviewers or checkers, or just give you the confidence you’ve done analysis the right way. Exploring and understanding the structural performance of your components is going to be a real eyeopener. So, let’s get started with a conrod case study.

Focusing on ease of use and efficiency, SIMULIA Simulation Foundation helps you leverage your organization’s library of deployed simulation processes. It can act as a dashboard for finding, monitoring, or resuming previous simulations.
