SOLIDWORKS Simulation
Tech Tips and Tutorials for Simulation, FEA, and CFD Applications
Which one do you choose, SOLIDWORKS Simulation or 3DEXPERIENCE Works Simulation SIMULIA? This is quite a common question when solutions overlap with each other a little bit. But a true answer to this question arises not only from the kind of studies we are able to perform but also from what happens upstream and downstream…
Meshing is a crucial step for SOLIDWORKS Simulation. When working with assemblies or complex parts you may experience SOLIDWORKS mesh failures or errors with messages like “mesh terminated” or “failure to mesh part” for certain features, or components. The first step in debugging SOLIDWORKS mesh failures is looking at your geometry. Based on your analysis…
If your product design doesn’t work in the real world, it’s a failure – a basic principle that every good designer understands. It’s also the primary reason physical prototyping has traditionally played an important role in the product validation process for manufacturers. Prototyping allows manufacturers to physically test a new design to failure, gain insight…
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation software provides the ability to share the calculations of a project over a network connection to a SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation Remote Solver. Resources are then freed up on the local computer to continue other work without reduced performance as the solver is running. You can open a new SOLIDWORKS window to continue…
SOLIDWORKS Simulation Trend Tracker provides a way to track Simulation results as changes are made. A Baseline is defined based on initial results. When modifications are made, either geometry or study setup, re-running the study will add iteration results. Tracking graphs provide a way to view changing values and a Trend Journal provides a Word…
Stratasys J55 prints outstanding colour gradients, clearly showing stress points on your FEA models
The Stratasys J55 printer brings expanded capabilities to the Polyjet desktop series of office friendly printers. Learn more by reading TechTalk: Javelin’s Professional Services team impressed with Stratasys J55 3D printer for product development. Gradient Colours on your 3D Prints One of the most notable benefits of using the J55 is the ease of applying…
This article provides recommendations related to hardware for SOLIDWORKS Simulation and SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation software. You can learn more about general SOLIDWORKS hardware requirements for SOLIDWORKS 2021 on our blog. Be aware that more powerful and expensive computers may not solve simulation studies in a practical timeframe if best practices are not observed. To learn more about tools…
Copy Tabular Simulation Results to the Clipboard in SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2021
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2021 has added another option to export data from your study results. Besides generating a report, you can copy tabular data from several sources to the clipboard, and then paste this data into another document, such as a spreadsheet. This data can be pulled from any tabular source in a PropertyManager, including reaction…
This on-demand webinar covers the simulation of vibration and dynamics using SOLIDWORKS FEA tools. DS discuss some basic concepts in natural and forced vibration, explaining a few different types of linear dynamic analysis types, plus a review of the SOLIDWORKS Simulation linear dynamics study setup, and transition to the benefits of using Structural Mechanics Engineer…
