HOW EASY IS IT TO TIP FURNITURE OVER – CAN YOU TEST IT VIRTUALLY?
With SOLIDWORKS Simulation you can test the safety of furniture Lightweight furniture is easy to tip over. This can produce a safety risk at home, especially with toddlers. As a designer you have the possibility to find out what kind
... ContinuedHow Strong is Your LEGO® Piece Really? Find Out With SOLIDWORKS Simulation
Growing up and playing with LEGO® as a budding engineer, had you ever thought about how strong your LEGO® pieces were? We shall investigate this thought using SolidWorks Simulation, an FEA module that runs natively within the SolidWorks User Interface.
... ContinuedSolving “The Hook Debate” with a 3D Scanner and SOLIDWORKS Simulation
This case study seeks to find the answer to a common question: Which way should you affix hooks to your fence so they can properly handle the load of a hanging flower basket? Javelin’s Application Engineer; Colin Murphy CSWE, takes
... ContinuedIntroduction to SOLIDWORKS Simulation – Finite Element Analysis
Have you ever been interested in SOLIDWORKS Simulation but didn’t know where to start? With such a wide variety of design analysis solutions, Simulation can be an intimidating product for someone newer to the SOLIDWORKS suite of products. Well we
... ContinuedGame of Thrones – How could Qyburn have designed the Scorpion ballista? (Tutorial)
Anyone who follows Game of Thrones will know how devastating the Scorpion ballista is. But how did Qyburn design the giant dragon killing ballista? We think we have the answer… A DELL laptop SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD SOLIDWORKS Visualize SOLIDWORKS Simulation
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Tech Tip – Simulation Productivity Tools – Degree of Freedom (DOF) Analysis & Contact Visualization Plots
You have probably had a situation in the past where the SOLIDWORKS Simulation solver has given an error message as shown below, about a model having insufficiently restrained degrees of freedom or having to check the model boundary conditions. Often
... ContinuedReduce material usage with the Optimization module in SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional
SOLIDWORKS Simulation is a fantastic way to validate designs before producing an engineering drawing. Reducing weight or material usage in your designs, while not sacrificing structural integrity, can be an excellent money-saver. Upgrade to SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional to take advantage of the Design
... ContinuedThe World is Nonlinear: Solving Buckling and Postbuckling Analysis of a Reinforced Panel
To me, the phrase ‘the world is nonlinear’ sums up why designers need access to powerful, yet easy to use simulation tools. Simply put ‘the world is nonlinear’ means that the response of a system is disproportional to the inputs.
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Simulation 2020 Mixed Draft & High Quality Mesh
Author: Scott Durksen; CSWE, Javelin Technologies Draft Quality elements provide faster solve times as each tetrahedral element only contain 4 nodes, one at each vertex. Switching over to High Quality mesh elements is required for accurate stress results, which adds
