SOLIDWORKS Simulation Performance
Learn how SIMULIA, built on industry-leading Abaqus technology, will accelerate SOLIDWORKS Simulation, solving your design problems faster.
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2021 has made significant improvements to solver performance that can reduce the solution times of some studies. The improvements are focused on studies with a large amount of surface-to-surface contact elements. There are three default solvers available: FFEPlus, Intel Direct Sparse, and Direct…
SOLIDWORKS Simulation provides three different types of meshers. The Standard and Curvature-Based meshers have been available for a long time. The Blended Curvature-Based mesher was introduced in Simulation 2016 with improved algorithms that can assist where the other two meshers may fail. SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2021…
SOLIDWORKS Simulation performance has been improved for the 2019 release as it now relies on the latest Intel Parallel Studio XE 2018, replacing previous Intel Fortran compilers used (MKL and MPI). These are used for the code preparing data for FFEPlus, Direct Sparse and Intel Direct…
