... ContinuedStructural Analysis Engineer: The New Summer Lifeguard
We are in the dog days of summer here in New England and when the heat gets oppressive there is only one place to be: out on the water. I grew up near the French Mediterranean coast, so sun and
... ContinuedFEA 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
... ContinuedHow 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
... ContinuedDo I Really Need Analysis Software?
Do I really need analysis software? It’s a valid question, and one I hear from customers on occasion. Being a designer myself, I feel that I have a good head for figuring out if a design can be easily manufactured,
... ContinuedNew in SolidWorks 2014: CircuitWorks Link to SolidWorks Flow Simulation
SolidWorks 2014 includes new capabilities that let you define and store thermal properties of electronic components in CircuitWorks for reuse in SolidWorks Flow Simulation electronic cooling performance analyses. You can automatically utilize component properties defined in CircuitWorks™ in a fluid
... ContinuedSolidWorks Simulation Tips: Parameters and Design Studies
In my opinion, one of the most underutilized tools in SolidWorks Simulation is the Design Study. Design studies allow you to easily set up a number of ‘what if’ scenarios and run them all with the click of a button.
... ContinuedThe Importance of Material Properties in Analysis with SolidWorks Simulation
Have you ever considered the importance of Material Properties to your Finite Element solution? What about the accuracy of the data provided by material vendors? As Designers and Engineers, we are used to dealing with tolerances….What will happen to the Finite Element solution if one material property varies?
... ContinuedSolidWorks Simulation reporting to the roof for snow duty
This past weekend was all about snow and ice, or rather the removal of those two pesky forms of water. The last two winter storms have dropped a significant amount of snow here in the Boston area. Now, I am
