In this article, we share some tips and tricks that can help speed up SOLIDWORKS Simulation analysis preparation, runtimes, and improve accuracy. The tools we show allow designers and engineers to make smart design decisions and trim down their solve time, leaving more room for other projects and improving designs even further.
I recently talked to a customer with validation concerns about an analysis - were the results and setup correct? With SOLIDWORKS Simulation and Simulation Professional, it is possible to verify the phenomenon of Thermal Expansion using Static Analysis tools. In this article, I'll compile the methods I used to diagnose and assist this customer's concern.
As Application Engineers, we often hear from customers who are confused about the mathematics their simulation is calculating. Apart from the myriad of ways to set up a simulation study in SOLIDWORKS Simulation, we are sometimes asked to consider what equations are being used. I often hear, "When comparing them to laboratory testing, empirical data, and hand calculations, I’m not able to confirm what we are simulating”.
