SOLIDWORKS Beam Joints
When setting up your SOLIDWORKS Simulation Study with beam elements, you may sometimes need to modify the joint group that connects the structural member together. This modification can be done only for a single joint (to add or remove a member from that joint), or…
When applying External Loads to a beam element, you can apply it to the entire beam which distributes the load. You can also apply it to a joint at the end of a beam element. But what if you need to apply a point load…
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2017 Automatically Update Beam Joints
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2017 has improved the workflow on how SOLIDWORKS Simulation beam joints get updated. In previous versions, modifying a model would cause a joint group in an existing studies to go out of date. The Joint Group feature would need to be edited and recalculated…
