SolidWorks Simulation Overview
SOLIDWORKS Simulation Training Course is designed to help users become productive more quickly with the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Bundle. It offers in-depth coverage on the basics of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and teaches users how to apply basic mechanical engineering concepts within SOLIDWORKS. The course covers the complete process from meshing to evaluation of results for parts and assemblies, helping participants gain confidence in using SOLIDWORKS Simulation tools to perform accurate and efficient analyses. Key focus areas include linear stress analysis, gap/contact analysis, and simulation best practices that are essential for accurate modeling.
Course Objectives
SOLIDWORKS Simulation Training Course answers key questions such as: What is SOLIDWORKS Simulation? and What is Finite Element Analysis (FEA)? Participants will learn how to build both mathematical and finite element models using SOLIDWORKS, and gain hands-on experience in solving FEA models, interpreting results, and understanding potential errors. The training also covers how to apply degrees of freedom, perform FEA calculations, and work with units of measurement within the SOLIDWORKS Simulation environment. Emphasis is placed on understanding the limitations of SOLIDWORKS Simulation and how to use the tool effectively in practical applications. With a strong foundation in simulation essentials, learners will leave the course equipped to analyze assemblies and parts from meshing to evaluation of results using SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional tools.
