Analysis Lesson 6: SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation Mechanical Scenario Creation
From SOLIDWORKS, save an assembly to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Launch the Mechanical Scenario Creation App with the Abaqus solver to create two virtual bolt connectors with nuts. Create a Surface-Based contact. Surface-Based contact defines the interaction behavior between two discrete surface regions in the model.
... ContinuedAnalysis Lesson 5: SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation Structural Model Creation
Learn the proper workflow to upload a SOLIDWORKS part to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and perform a Simulation study using the Structural Model Creation App. Create a Finite Element Model (FEM) from the Sheet Metal part. Apply boundary conditions and load. Create 3 Simulation contour plots.
... ContinuedAnalysis Lesson 4: SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation Linear Structural Validation for Assembly
Learn the proper workflow to upload a SOLIDWORKS assembly to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Perform a Linear Structural Simulation study using the Abaqus solver.
... ContinuedAnalysis Lesson 3: SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation Linear Structural Validation Part 2
In the previous lesson, we created a linear structural simulation study using SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation technology. Now modify the study and create new Simulation contour plots. Review the plots to interpret the results for Von Mises Stress, Factor of Safety, Reaction Force and Displacement.
