SOLIDWORKS Simulation Plots

SOLIDWORKS Simulation Design Insight Plot

The SOLIDWORKS Simulation Design Insight Plot, also known as “load path”, is a plot that shows the regions of the model that carry the loads most efficiently. It can be useful in part modification in the post-processing of your design. How will a SOLIDWORKS Simulation…

SOLIDWORKS Simulation Results on Specific Assembly Components

Using assemblies in SOLIDWORKS Simulation can make things more difficult to view the results of the various plots.  Perhaps you only want to see results for specific components in your assembly.  There are techniques to view the results on selected components. Here is a simple…

How to show stress on specific components in SOLIDWORKS Simulation

If you ran a Simulation study on an assembly, you may need to narrow in on one particular component to review its results.  Here are two methods that can be used to show stress on specific components and the benefits in different situations: Method #1: Isolate Command…

How to Refresh SOLIDWORKS Simulation Plots

When you are viewing a SOLIDWORKS Simulation plot and a graphical change has made to the model (like exploded views, hide/show, isolate), the original plot remains visible.  This is because the result data was loaded based on the original view state.  In order to update the…
