SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2019
Design for Additive Manufacturing with SOLIDWORKS Simulation Topology Study
Additive manufacturing is no longer a bleeding edge technology; this powerful method is being used across countless industries, for applications ranging from rapid prototyping to jigs/fixtures and production end-use parts. Widespread adoption of the materials and geometric freedom provided by additive manufacturing pushes the boundaries of…
What would you do with more time? The sky is the limit: you could become the next Carlos Santana, create an industry disrupting technology, or have more chances to perfect your designs before your deadlines. SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2019 can’t create more time (I wish), but…
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2019 now allows Topology Studies to be stopped during intermediate iterations and keep its results. The results may not be fully optimal as the solver is interrupted before reaching convergence. NOTE: If you terminate the solver before reaching convergence, rerunning the study will…
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2019 introduces an option to export the smoothed mesh from a Topology Study directly as a mesh BREP body. The exported mesh boundary representation body (aka BREP) are created from mesh facets (triangles) to generate surfaces based on limits. A solid body generates…
Topology studies in SOLIDWORKS Simulation give you insight to help determine the best design for a set of constraints (included in SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional and Premium packages). SOLIDWORKS 2019 now adds SOLIDWORKS Simulation Topology Study Constraints to achieve the desired results. You can control the…
SOLIDWORKS 2019 has improved the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Remote Loads / Mass feature. The previous user interface was split into categories of Direct Transfer and Rigid Connection. The option for Displacement (Direct Transfer) was previously only available in Nonlinear studies. This is now available in Static…
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2019 now includes an option that enables an improved stress averaging method for mid-side nodes of a high quality (second order) solid element. A solid element is made up of a four-corner tetrahedral shape. Each corner has an associated node. High Quality elements…
SOLIDWORKS 2019 adds Simulation Pin Connector improvements to Nonlinear Static and Nonlinear Dynamic studies that was introduced in Simulation 2018 for Linear Static, Frequency, Buckling and Linear Dynamic studies. You can apply a single pin connector to up to ten coaxial cylindrical faces in Nonlinear…
