SOLIDWORKS Simulation

Last week I told you how to check your global mesh refinement by performing a number of simulations with a denser mesh and looking for convergence of your results. Have you given it a go yet? This week we held

This week I gave an overview of some simulation best practices to some of our Nordic partners, and I thought I’d share one of their tips with you this week. How do you know if your mesh is sufficiently refined?

We all know that in simulation it is important to model as much of the relevant physics as possible, but there are some instances where things are commonly missed. Take the example of fixing a heat sink to a CPU

I was asked today about the use of a SolidWorks simulation product called Pressure Vessel Design, as the name suggests, a tool used regularly in the design of pressure vessels. Typically there are a number of different loadcases on a

When you want to perform a linear dynamic problem (small displacement analysis with linear elastic materials), the technique used in SolidWorks Simulation is called modal analysis and requires a frequency analysis to be run first. This inevitably requires you to

Here are three top tips for all you flow users out there. Use the Check Geometry command (Flow Simulation – Tools – Check Geometry…) to make sure there are no invalid contacts and that your fluid volume is greater than
