SOLIDWORKS Simulation
Tech Tips and Tutorials for Simulation, FEA, and CFD Applications
Let’s take a look at a few tips that will help with the SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation Fan setup. When defining a fan in a SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation study here are a few of the most common mistakes. These rules apply to External Inlet Fans, External Outlet Fans and Internal Fans. Neglecting to use the correct…
Optimize Your Workstation Budget for Design and Engineering Applications – Simulation
Learn how to optimize your SOLIDWORKS workstation budget for different CAD workflows, specifically structural and plastics simulation.
There can be a lot to keep track of when setting up a simulation, and it can also be difficult to understand if the study you’re running will give you results that make sense. Thankfully, SOLIDWORKS Simulation has a lot of tools that, in 2023, are easy to access on the command manager and run…
Welcome back to “Physics Fun with Jamie”. SOLIDWORKS Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a powerful tool for designing and analyzing products. The accurate representation of materials is an essential factor in the simulation’s success. Here are some best practices for applying materials in SOLIDWORKS FEA. Choose the correct material: The first step is to choose…
Welcome back to “Physics Fun with Jamie”. SOLIDWORKS Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a powerful tool for simulating the effects of a drop on a product. The software can be used to perform a drop test study, which predicts the response of a product when dropped from a specified height. Here are some steps to…
Welcome back to “Physics Fun with Jamie”. A design study analysis in SOLIDWORKS FEA is a powerful tool for simulating and optimizing the performance of a product or part. It allows designers to evaluate multiple design alternatives quickly and efficiently, thereby reducing the cost and time of physical testing. Here are some steps to follow…
Welcome back to “Physics Fun with Jamie”. A topology study in SOLIDWORKS FEA is a powerful tool for optimizing the design of a part or assembly by determining the most efficient use of materials. It helps designers to explore different design possibilities and find the most optimal solution. Here are some steps to follow when…
If the stock materials library is lacking in a material you may need, and you lack the information to create a custom material for a study you’d like to conduct in SOLIDWORKS Simulation, the solution lies in the SOLIDWORKS Materials Web Portal. How can I access the SOLIDWORKS Materials Web Portal? There are some requirements in order…
Welcome back to “Physics Fun with Jamie”. Meshing is an important step in the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) process, as it affects the accuracy and efficiency of the simulation. Creating mesh requires careful consideration of the geometry, the material properties, and the boundary conditions of the model. In this tech tip, we will discuss best…
