SOLIDWORKS Smart with Simulation: Analysis for Every Discipline

 

 SOLIDWORKS Has All You Need   

The SOLIDWORKS ecosystem is a one-stop-shop for all things engineering simulation.  Whether you’re a new designer or a career analyst; whether you’re working with manufactured structures, PCBs, or even biomechanics; there’s a CAD-connected simulation solution for you.


From the SOLIDWORKS brand

3DEXPERIENCE Structural FEA icon Structural Solutions for Every User

Structural analysis is the most popular type of simulation amongst SOLIDWORKS designers. Between the very familiar  SOLIDWORKS Simulation solutions and 3DEXPERIENCE STRUCTURAL solutions that scale to the very top, there is something for every stage of FEA-driven design.

Here is our visual guide to the CAD-connected FEA solutions available to you, from bottom to top:

The FEA Beginner’s Choice:
SOLIDWORKS or 3DEXPERIENCE?  

The SOLIDWORKS and 3D EXPERIENCE brands both offer linear static FEA solutions at competitive prices, but there are several differences between them.

We’ll give you the information you need to decide which is better for your situation.

    Mixing Test & Sim Data to Gain Emag Insights

  • We will walk through the steps in building a model in CST Design Studio where the 3D full-wave simulations are mixed with measured data and other simulation models. New 3D results will be generated without running another full-wave simulation. This approach provides CST users a powerful tool capable of incorporating their component simulations into a multiple component and SPICE simulation.
