FEA vs. Reality: How accurate is your solution?

In the Engineering world, we’re often asked questions about the accuracy of FEA modeling versus reality. The answer: FEA provides the right information versus reality as long as you correctly define materials, boundary conditions and mesh type. Next, regarding accuracy

Extensive Materials Library: AKA Golden Nuggets for Product Engineers

When you need to test the performance of your product with virtual simulation, you MUST properly define the product’s physical characteristics so your test results closely mirror the product’s real behavior. Then this question often arises; “where can I find

How to Easily Democratize Simulation Results

Last year, I attended a conference about Simulation & Analysis during which a senior engineer mentioned in his presentation that he has a hard time sharing Simulation results to colleagues and non-simulation users. He explained that too often Simulation results

What do people mean when they talk about “CAD-embedded simulation?”

For the last few decades, we have seen more and more simulation tools integrated in CAD systems. This positive trend made simulation accessible to all product engineers. However, I believe it is important to understand what “CAD-embedded simulation” really means,

Are simulation tools only for analysts, or can designers use them too?

I often get this question from companies searching to optimize product development, from journalists writing about virtual simulation, or even from colleagues. When I think about it, I have the feeling that this is an old debate, but still a

Design scenarios for fluid flow in SolidWorks Flow Simulation

A known value of CAD integrated simulation is to run “what if” scenarios as early as possible to find the best design and/or the design which fits your criteria. In SolidWorks Simulation, our users know well the tool called “Design
