SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2018 adds Noise Prediction
By Siavash Khajehhasani on November 10, 2017
Noise prediction capability is available in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2018. The ‘Acoustic Power’ option activates the calculation of a noise level prediction. This acoustic power level uses the “Proudman’s formula” for calculation. This formula is…
SOLIDWORKS Simulation Bolt Series for Multiple Holes
By Scott Durksen, CSWE on October 20, 2017
The Bolt Connector in Simulation is a great way to simplify the study so physical bolts don’t need to be included in the analysis. In the case where you have a bolt going through the…
How to hit that $500,000 basketball shot with SOLIDWORKS Motion
By Rod Mackay on October 19, 2017
It’s finally happened. After years of attending basketball games you’ve finally been chosen. Called from your seat in the second quarter, it’s your turn to take the half-court shot to win $500,000. With only one…
Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation Sensors and Selection Sets for common location results
By Scott Durksen, CSWE on October 6, 2017

SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2018 Introduces Free Surface Simulation (Part 1: Theory)
By Siavash Khajehhasani on September 28, 2017
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2018 allows you to model the flow of two immiscible fluids with a free surface. Liquids are considered as immiscible if they are completely insoluble in each other. A free surface is…
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2018 Dismiss Message
By Scott Durksen, CSWE on September 15, 2017
New in SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2018 is the ability to dismiss pop-up messages. For example every time you re-mesh a model after the study had already been solved, you get the pop-up warning that the previous…
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2018: Factor of Safety Plot for Nonlinear Static Studies
By Siavash Khajehhasani on September 14, 2017
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2018 includes the ability to define a factor of safety (FoS) plot for Nonlinear Static studies. Herein, the factor of safety plot is extended to nonlinear static studies. Once a SOLIDWORKS Simulation Nonlinear static…
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2018 Email Notifications for Completed Studies
By Scott Durksen, CSWE on September 13, 2017
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2018 now includes the ability to automatically send notification emails to track the status of your studies. The email setup can be found under Simulation > Options > System Options tab > Email…

By Scott Durksen, CSWE on April 21, 2017
The SOLIDWORKS Simulation Results Save Location can be specified in the simulation options. In this post I’ll explain how to save the results, the options available to you, and the best practice when you use…
Discover the True Value of SOLIDWORKS Simulation [On-demand Webinar]
By Erin Elliott on April 13, 2017
Let’s start by thinking about how much it costs if you don’t use design validation tools as part of your design process. There are many factors to consider; the time it takes to fix the…
Determining which Faces were defined as Shell Elements in SOLIDWORKS Simulation
By Scott Durksen, CSWE on March 28, 2017
If you’ve setup a SOLIDWORKS Simulation study and needed to define solid bodies as Shell elements on defined faces, you should realize that a Shell Element is only generated on the face you’ve selected. Therefore…
