What is SOLIDWORKS Simulation?

SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Works Simulation offer a range of integrated analysis tools for designers, engineers, and analysts. These tools include structural analysis, computational fluid dynamics, injection molding simulation, and advanced cloud-enabled capabilities that are powered by Abaqus.

 
 

SOLIDWORKS
Simulation Standard

Give your engineers the tools to know if their products will perform properly and how long they’ll last. The Trend Tracker capability and Design Insight plot enable designers to highlight optimal design changes while they work.

Features

  • Design Comparison with Parametric Simulation: Determine the best design option by comparing strengths, design life and weight
  • Time Based Mechanism Simulation
  • Fatigue Simulation: Evaluate the consumed life of a design submitted to repeated loading

SOLIDWORKS
