SOLIDWORKS 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.
