\"Test<\/a> <\/p>\n

I first met members of the Texas A&M SAE Aero Design team when they displayed their plane at SolidWorks World 2011<\/a>.  So what is SAE Aero Design?   You think of SAE for Formula, Baja, Hybrid – cars.  But there is also  serious competition for aerospace engineering students - this is not just a model airplane that I used to build with my dad.  The SAE Aero competition requires great engineering and design skills.<\/p>\n

\"2011<\/a> <\/p>\n

The aircraft must take off within 200 feet, have a total dimension of 225 inches, use a standard design engine, and carry different loads for every flight – while remaining stable.<\/p>\n

\"TAMU<\/a> <\/p>\n

Texas A&M used a variety of SolidWorks software tools to design, analyze, and render their plane.<\/p>\n

To turn on the Finite Element Applications (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics Applications (CFD), Start SolidWorks, Select New, Part.<\/p>\n

Go to Tools, Add Ins.  Check one of the following:<\/p>\n

SolidWorks Simulation for Finite Element Analysis<\/p>\n

SolidWorks Motion for Kinematic Analysis<\/p>\n

SolidWorks Flow Simulation for CFD Analysis<\/p>\n

Once these applications are selected, a series of tutorials will appear under Help, SolidWorks Simulation Tutorials or SolidWorks Flow Simulation tutorials. <\/p>\n

\"SolidWorks<\/a> <\/p>\n

There are hundreds of simulation tutorials that can determine, stress, fatigue, vibration, non-linear and composite materials analysis, and event based motion.  Some of the tutorials are theoretical – that provide the analytical solution and look more like examples would see in a text book – such as a plate with a hole or uni-axial bar, with simple boundary conditions.  Other tutorials are more practical – simulating real world conditions..  Marie<\/p>\n
