SOLIDWORKS Simulation Standard
About SOLIDWORKS Simulation Standard
SOLIDWORKS Simulation Standard is an intuitive virtual testing environment for static linear, time-based motion, and high-cycle fatigue simulation. It delivers a concurrent engineering approach helping with the product performance and durability.
Features of SOLIDWORKS Simulation Standard
- Motion Analysis – Predict the physical movements of the parts assembly under internal and external load with time-based and event-based motions.
- Linear Static Analysis – Test the designs of linear materials under for stress, strain, displacement, and Factor of Safety (FOS) results and iterate them based on the results.
- Fatigue Analysis – Determine fatigue failures by examining the load cycles and understand the life span of the components.
- Shell Manager – It is an effective tool to manage shell models.
Benefits of SOLIDWORKS Simulation Standard
- Finite Element Analysis – Presence of various analysis tools enable testing and enhancing the parts and assemblies.
- Optimum Insights – Simulate the product prototypes before manufacturing them to obtain real world like insights.
