SOLIDWORKS Simulation
Simulating Large Assemblies in SOLIDWORKS [WEBINAR]
Javelin’s Simulation Product Manager; Peter Kjellbotn, will be hosting a complimentary simulation webinar on Wednesday, September 7th so you can learn how to simulate SOLIDWORKS large assemblies. We understand this is peak vacation season across Canada, if you are not going to be at the…
What is SOLIDWORKS Simulation and how can it help me?
If you are an existing SOLIDWORKS user then you need to take a look at the Simulation suite of products that are built right into SOLIDWORKS. Simulation software is a powerful, intuitive and accurate 3D engineering solution designed to help improve product performance and quality by indicating how your design…
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…
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…
A common concern I hear when presenting SOLIDWORKS Simulation is whether or not the results are accurate. This is a difficult – if not impossible – thing to prove without empirical data to back up the results. To reassure those concerned, I usually rely upon the…
Have you ever needed a shear stress plot from your study but didn’t find the right direction and plane? When creating shear stress plots in SOLIDWORKS Simulation, there are only three options. But where are the other three shear stresses? Well due to the equilibrium requirement of…
SOLIDWORKS Simulation Incremental Nonlinear Simulation Results
In SOLIDWORKS Simulation you can visualize intermediate results during an Incremental Nonlinear Simulation. By getting visual feedback of the results as the simulation progresses, you can make decisions to either stop the simulation and make adjustments to the input, or let the solver proceed with the…
SOLIDWORKS 2015 is finally here and I have had the chance to play around with the latest simulation capabilities in SOLIDWORKS. Here are some of the enhancements that you will see in the upcoming release of SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION. I will be showing you each one…
There are a couple options for excluding components from your SolidWorks Simulation studies, but they behave differently. Method #1: Using the Exclude from Analysis command The first method is directly in an existing study. You can right-click on a component in the Simulation tree and choose “Exclude…
