SOLIDWORKS Simulation
What is a stress singularity in SOLIDWORKS Simulation?
With SOLIDWORKS Simulation it is possible to test your design during the engineering phase of your project. It’s a powerful tool to provide you direct answers to difficult engineering questions. And to get the right answers, it is important that
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Simulation: An Intro to Composite Analysis
Introduction to Composites A composite material is a mixture of two or more materials. This is usually a stiff unidirectional fiber combined with a softer matrix element. The goal of such a mixture is to get desirable overall properties that each
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Simulation Vs. SimulationXpress
Every version of SOLIDWORKS contains SimulationXpress capability to carry out first pass stress analysis on your parts. If you are lucky enough to have SOLIDWORKS Premium, then you also get the linear static analysis simulation add-in. In addition to this,
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation: Flow Freezing
Reaching a Steady-State SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation allows for the simulation of steady-state and transient heat transfer problems. A steady-state analysis is run to determine how the heat transfer of a system stabilizes (i.e. becomes unchanging). A steady-state solution does not
... ContinuedManage SOLIDWORKS Simulation Mesh Refinement using an Energy Norm Error Plot
When it comes to computation with SOLIDWORKS Simulation finite element analyses, we are always looking at integrals. Evaluating those integrals need numerical methods.
... ContinuedThe Simulation Virtual Wall
Here is a little tip/trick when it comes to SOLIDWORKS Simulation. Have you ever been in the situation where you need to simulate a model relevant to a wall or even the floor? Quite often the only solution that users
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Simulation Cleaning Utility
Author: Saeed Mojarad, CSWE, Javelin Technologies One of the lesser known tools that gets installed along with SOLIDWORKS software is the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Cleaning Utility. This utility tool can be used to permanently delete any simulation data, including simulation setup and results information,
... ContinuedRevisit your Childhood with SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation
Who’s paper plane will fly the farthest and highest is part of most childhood memories. But how do we validate that our paper plane design is achieving optimal performance? How to fly higher and farthest? With a little bit of
... ContinuedEngineering Love with SOLIDWORKS Motion
While many of us enjoyed a movie, a fancy dinner, or chowed down on some chocolates, I spent my Valentine’s Day this year engineering love itself! An urban legend has it that a heart gear has a conjugate gear of another heart
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS 2018: Topology Study and Some Influencing Factors
In this article I would like to highlight some influencing factors when dealing with the new Topology Study in SOLIDWORKS 2018 (as part of Simulation Professional). Let’s have a look at the example of a girder loaded with a distributed
