 Advantages of SolidWorks Simulation

SolidWorks simulation technology ensures the quality and performance of your design before you commit toproduction. Comprehensive analysis tools let you test models digitally for valuable insight early in the design process.With the information you develop, you can easily determine methods to reduce weight and material costs, improvedurability and manufacturability, optimize margins, and compare design alternatives to best meet specific customer requirements.

Easy to Learn, Easy to Master 

SolidWorks simulation tools can benefit all designers at any stage of product development. The analysis capabilitiesare fully integrated within the SolidWorks design environment, sharing familiar workflows, naming conventions, andcommands. Simulation advisors guide you through setting up studies step-by-step, so no previous analysisexperience is required.

The simulation solvers use the same information defined in the modeling process. You save time, because you don’t

need to redefine materials, connections, or assembly relationships. Studies can be repeated quickly on multipledesign variations and the results compared using the efficient, straightforward interface,

Provides Powerful Insight

The single window integration of SolidWorks simulation software has benefits beyond its ease of use. As you modifygeometry and information during design changes, the simulation studies update automatically, alerting you when theyneed to be re-calculated. You can validate your initial design and then gain an understanding of how each designelement affects performance. Product reliability is ensured as the design progresses.

The simulation solvers run in the background, so your regular design tasks are not disrupted. Simply set up theanalysis and have SolidWorks simulation tools calculate the results as you build your assemblies and detail your drawings. The valuable knowledge comes with very little overhead.

Eliminates Prototypes, Sparks Innovation

SolidWorks simulation technology lets you digitally simulate a wide variety of physical tests, including structural,motion, fluid flow, thermal, vibrations, durability, and impact. You can size welds, check bolted connections, andunderstand the forces from complex motion. The need for physical prototypes is virtually eliminated. You can runmultiple studies simultaneously and validate all aspects of your design.

SolidWorks simulation solutions promote innovation, with no risk. Any new idea can be tested easily. You candynamically change design parameters to meet a specified goal or run detailed "What if?” analyses to compare manydifferent design variations. The results often reveal design changes not previously considered.

Optimized for Speed and Accuracy 

Your components come in many different shapes and sizes. So SolidWorks simulation tools have been refined to

support a large variation of geometry. Special mesh types let you test welded structures, thin and thick walled parts,and composites in an optimized manner. Likewise, SolidWorks simulation software understands various connectiontypes included bolts, pins, and welds. Symmetric 3D assemblies can even be simplified into 2D representations.These capabilities drastically reduce solve times and provide more accurate solutions.

Enables Clear Communication 

Information can best drive change when i t is communicated clearly. SolidWorks simulation technology not only showsstudy results graphically, it has unique tools that enable you to focus on key areas and even understand performancetrends.

Robust reporting tools let you share your investigations and results with everyone involved. The reports detail howstudies are set up and the resulting conclusions. Design decisions can be made as a group and justified with clear documentation.

SolidWorks eDrawings software lets you share simulation results with everyone, even those without CAD. TheeDrawings 3D interface lets customers and suppliers see results graphically, from any angle. The informationimproves customer confidence and gives you a competitive advantage in winning business.

Unrivaled Support 

Success with SolidWorks simulation solutions is assured with SolidWorks support resources. Our highly skilledresellers provide technical support and training at the local level, addressing your specific needs. The software isthoroughly tested and improved with every release. Comprehensive online assistance, tutorials, and an active user community help you achieve the results you desire, no matter what your skill level

he three point bending flexural test provides values for the modulus of elasticity in bending

, flexural stress  , flexural strain and the flexural stress-strain response of the material. The mainadvantage of a three point flexural test is the ease of the specimen preparation and testing.
