Creating innovative products requires insights into design performance, and design engineers who can predict design behaviour are more efficient, innovative, and successful.

SolidWorks Simulation

With SOLIDWORKS Simulation 3D CAD integrated analysis solutions, you can intuitively, accurately, and cost-effectively simulate how a product will perform, enabling you to dimension precisely and optimize designs while reducing prototyping and time-consuming trials processes. SOLIDWORKS Simulation delivers accurate design simulations to solve complex analysis problems, helping you overcome time, budget, and quality challenges.

How Accurate Design Simulation Benefits Product Development

Developing successful products demands innovation, reliability, and speed. As a design engineer, you not only must satisfy form, fit, and function requirements, you must also create unique, dependable, and manufacturable product designs faster and at lower cost. To achieve  these goals, you need to have as much information as early as possible about how your design  will perform under real-world operating conditions without resorting to costly, time-consuming rounds of physical prototype testing or outsourced simulations.

With integrated SOLIDWORKS Simulation solutions, you can run accurate FEA simulations right  inside SOLIDWORKS CAD software, giving you fast access to structural analysis results early in the development process, such as stress level, deformed shape, product lifespan, etc. With this  vital information, you can make critical design decisions that help you:

  • Create product innovations
  • Reduce prototyping
  • Accelerate time-to-market
  • Optimize material usage
  • Eliminate design uncertainty
  • Minimize field performance issue
  • Decrease warranty claims and returns
  • Boosts profitability.
