SOLIDWORKS Simulation Reports

SOLIDWORKS Simulation provides an automatic way to export your results to a Word document.  The document is based on a Word template that extracts a large amount of data from your study.  Therefore, Microsoft Office must be installed on the computer.  The report includes items like Mesh properties, Material properties, Stress plots, etc.

Generating a Report

After the study is completed, you can use the Report tools from the CommandManager.

If you want to capture a specific view/orientation or image file, you can use ‘Include Image for Report’.  You can specify where you want this image to be in the report from the ‘Section:’ dropdown.
