In this lesson learn the proper workflow to upload a SOLIDWORKS part to the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform and perform a Simulation study using the Structural Model Creation App.<\/p>\n

Open a SOLIDWORKS Sheet metal part that has not been saved to the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform.<\/p>\n

Upload the SOLIDWORKS part to the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform. Save the part in your Collaborative space. Use an existing Bookmark. Return to your SOLIDWORKS desktop. Lock the part.<\/p>\n

Launch the Structural Model Creation App from the SOLIDWORKS Task Pane. Create an empty Finite Element Model (FEM) linked to the shape of the part. Apply Alloy Steel. Create a Surface Quadratic Mesh. Utilize the Shell Section tool. Define the uniform shell thickness.<\/p>\n

Create the Simulation Scenario. Launch the Structural Scenario Creation App. Apply the created Finite Element Model (FEM). Create a Static Step.<\/p>\n

Apply three Fixed Displacements. Apply an External load (Force) of 400N.<\/p>\n

Run the Simulation study. Use the Physics Results Explorer App to manage results data from Simulations performed within the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform.<\/p>\n

Create three Simulation contour plots: Von Mises Stress, Factor of Safety (FOS) and Displacement.<\/p>\n

Analyze the Simulation plots. Save the Simulation study to your Collaborative space. View the items of the Simulation study saved to your Collaborative space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Before we start, there are a few items that you need to know.<\/p>\n

In this lesson, use your default Collaborative space. An internet connection is required. A 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE ID is required.<\/p>\n

The Simulation lesson provides a foundation to users who are new to using simulation to solve real-word engineering and design problems. You should have a basic understanding of Stress and Finite Element Method (FEM).<\/p>\n

Launch the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and Start SOLIDWORKS<\/h2>\n

3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Launcher needs to be installed. 3DEXPERIENCE<\/strong> Works Lesson 1: Getting Started with <\/strong>SOLIDWORKS<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n

The 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform is browser driven. Your existing cookies and cache determine what you will see on your computer desktop or during a SOLIDWORKS login. A full installation of SOLIDWORKS 2019 SP0 or later is required.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Start a SOLIDWORKS session from your desktop.<\/p>\n

Double-click the SOLIDWORKS<\/strong> icon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

View the illustration below. Depending on your system setup, cookies, and cache, it will be different. Read the provided information.<\/p>\n

Input<\/strong> the requested data.<\/p>\n

Click Accept All<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Welcome – SOLIDWORKS dialog box is displayed.<\/p>\n

You are logged into the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform.<\/p>\n

Close<\/strong> the Welcome dialog box.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click the 3DEXPERIENCE<\/strong> icon in the Task Pane. The MySession panel is displayed. This displays the two-way communication between SOLIDWORKS running on your desktop and the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform running in the cloud.<\/p>\n

In this lesson, I\u2019m using a Collaborative space named Quick Start xDesign.<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>: If you do not see the 3DEXPERIENCE icon, click the Options drop-down arrow, click Add-Ins, check the 3DEXPERIENCE box, click OK, from the SOLIDWORKS Main menu.<\/p>\n

Click Accept All<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sheet metal part Model 8-4<\/h2>\n

Download the SOLIDWORKS Sheet metal part Model 8-4 to follow along with this lesson.<\/p>\n

Model 8-4<\/a><\/p>\n

Open<\/strong> Model 8-4 that has not been previously uploaded or saved to the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform.<\/p>\n

Expand<\/strong> the Task Pane bar. The MySession panel displays a tree view of the active file and a list of commands that can be accessed through the Action bar and context menu.<\/p>\n

The orange save Status icon for the Model 8-4 part informs you that the local file on your computer has not been saved to the platform.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Save the part to the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform.<\/p>\n

Click Save Active Window<\/strong> from the Lifecycle tab in the Action bar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The file is temporarily being saved to a local cache area. The platform is checking for out of date components, modified components from the last save to the platform, different revisions, missing components, etc.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select a Bookmark<\/h2>\n

The Save to 3DEXPERIENCE dialog box and PLM attributes are displayed.<\/p>\n

Save the model. Use your existing Collaborative space. Use an existing Bookmark. Note<\/strong>: if needed view 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Works Lesson 3: SOLIDWORKS Bookmarks, Share and Delet<\/a>e.<\/p>\n

Click the Select Bookmark<\/strong> down-arrow.<\/p>\n

Click Select Bookmark<\/strong>. The Select a Bookmark dialog box is displayed.<\/p>\n

In the below example, I selected Design Project 104<\/strong> as my bookmark.<\/p>\n

Click Apply<\/strong> from the Select a Bookmark dialog box.<\/p>\n

Click Save<\/strong> from the Save to 3DEXPERIENCE dialog box.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The model is directly loaded into your Collaborative space and Bookmarked on the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform. You are back into your SOLIDWORKS desktop session.<\/p>\n

View the Status column in the updated MySession panel. The Status icon displays a green check mark. This means that the current file on your SOLIDWORKS desktop is updated and saved to the platform. The default Revision is A. The Maturity State is \u201cIn Work\u201d. This is the default Lifecycle state after you saved the model to the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lock the part. This prevents anyone else in making a change to it.<\/p>\n

Right-click Model 8-4<\/strong> in the MySession box.<\/p>\n

Click Lock<\/strong>. The Lock icon is displayed. Model 8-4is selected.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Launch Structural Model Creation App<\/h2>\n

Click the center <\/strong>of the Compass. Launch the Structural Model Creation App. Think of this App as the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Add-in inside of SOLIDWORKS. Most of the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Apps run in your web browser. 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Simulation Apps perform a small installation on your windows machine. Both types of Apps are linked to your PLM data on the platform.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Drag<\/strong> the slider downward to view the Structural Model Creation App.<\/p>\n

Launch the Structural Model Creation<\/strong> App. Note<\/strong>: If this is your first time using a 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Simulation App or an update is available, download the needed App information on your computer. It is recommended to restart your SOLIDWORKS session.\"\"<\/p>\n
