Have you ever wanted to create a custom material in SOLIDWORKS Simulation that has your own imported S-N curve data for a fatigue study? This tutorial explains how.
Are you a SOLIDWORKS user ready to jump into simulation and start doing static analysis? There used to only be one tool for the job: SOLIDWORKS Simulation. Now there is a second option: 3DEXPERIENCE Structural Designer. So which should you choose? In this article, we’ll compare and contrast so you can make the right choice.
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2025 brings some exciting new updates for your simulation needs. This article will explore new enhancements to the component selection tools for your analysis, bonding interactions, weld pin and spring connector options, and mesh improvements for assemblies.
Simulation, or virtual prototyping, allows engineers to see the performance of their design in ways even lab testing cannot easily do. Even better, it’s often more cost-effective, more timely, and less laborious than everything you have to do to carry out a physical test. Something that valuable must be expensive and hard to implement, right? Not necessarily.GoEngineer has helped thousands of small to large businesses adopt and upgrade their use of analysis tools.
GoEngineer's simulation team can best be demonstrated by introducing some of the individual members. If your company needs simulation support, these are among the people ready to assist you.
Each tier of SOLIDWORKS Simulation packages includes more advanced capabilities as you move up in each package (the higher-level packages include all the features of the previous levels). In this blog, we will compare all tiers of SOLIDWORKS Simulation packages and see examples so you can determine what level of SOLIDWORKS Simulation is best for you and your company.
Each node in a model meshed for a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) study has six degrees of freedom or DOF. Three are translational and three are rotational. In order to stabilize the model, the nodes’ DOF must be constrained.
In this guide, we cover SOLIDWORKS Simulation fixture preview icons and what they represent. While building SOLIDWORKS Simulation studies, it is important to create the right fixtures so that the results are accurate. By understanding the fixture preview icons and how they relate to the different types of fixtures, it becomes much easier to quickly create the correct fixtures.
Iso Clipping is a post-processing tool available in SOLIDWORKS Simulation. It allows us to modify the display of a result plot to cut away regions of the model above or below a certain value. It can also be used to show a range between two values and view surfaces of up to six specified values. Isolating areas of very high or low stress can be informative when investigating failures and optimizing designs.
