Simulation
The good news is that SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation makes it easy for engineers to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD), once an application reserved for specialists—often engineers with advanced degrees who became dedicated analysts. This could ...
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a tool no longer reserved for dedicated analysts. Advances in computer hardware and the automated setup provided by modern CFD software make it accessible for design engineers to evaluate and ...
SOLIDWORKS Simulation is a CAD-embedded finite element analysis (FEA) software that enables designers and engineers to perform structural analysis during the design phase. For predicting the performance of ductile metals such as steel and aluminum ...
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is a CAD-embedded computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software that enables designers and engineers to perform thermal and fluid flow analysis at design-time. Once a Flow Simulation project is set up, the analysis ...
Running SOLIDWORKS Flow, even if you are SOLIDWORKS Simulation users, will be a bit daunting.
Engineering is a journey that ends with “good enough.” Good enough is subjective, amorphic—and perfectly appropriate place to call it quits. A good enough design, product or outcome satisfies the stated objectives and is a ...
Mold filling simulation allows for verifying part design before mold tool steel is ever cut—ensuring that major revisions will not be necessary to either the part or the molds.
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is a powerful, general-purpose CFD package integrated directly into the SOLIDWORKS CAD environment.
Finite element analysis with SOLIDWORKS Simulation allows analyzing load cases and predicting the resulting stresses and displacements of a model directly within SOLIDWORKS CAD.
Learn how engineers at GE Healthcare Anesthesia and Respiratory Care (ARC) Group are successfully using SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation throughout their device design process. Watch a demonstration of how GE engineers were able to optimize the ...
In today’s increasingly competitive global market, product designers face mounting pressures to not only create more innovative products but to also deliver designs of higher precision and fidelity—in terms of manufacturability and performance—more quickly and cost-effectively than ...
Today’s engineers and chief designers, who lead system-level or large assembly design teams, work under increasing pressure to develop more innovative, better-performing, and easier-to-manufacture products more quickly and cost effectively.
Giaffone Racing added SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional topology optimization solutions to its existing SOLIDWORKS design and analysis implementation because topology studies allow the Brazilian car-racing manufacturer to more quickly develop lighter and stronger parts, as well as eliminate ...
Within GE Health Care (GEHC), FEA and CFD modeling are used extensively in each modality, and the type of modeling and tools used are dependent on the unique challenges within that modality. While there is ...
Basics of FEA meshing You can’t run a simulation without meshing; it’s not possible. Meshing is to simulation what chicken is to chicken soup – the core building block. Meshing creates the finite elements that ...

Simulating stress using von Mises, Tresca and maximum principal stress.
SOLIDWORKS Simulation makes it easy to determine whether a structure satisfies its design criteria for a particular set of loading conditions. As many users can attest, having only one loading condition is rarely the case. ...
Most engineers and designers are clear about understanding failure from tension or bending loads. However, buckling is a form of structural instability—and ultimately failure—caused by compressive forces. A normal stress analysis won’t provide any sort ...
Do you like cars? Do you like rendering? How about some driving simulation? If you’ve answered YES to any or all of those questions, then buckle up, because Visualize Professional in SOLIDWORKS 2019 has got ...
