FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS (FEA) SOFTWARE INTEGRATED WITH SOLIDWORKS

Limit the expense of prototypes and physical testing. SOLIDWORKS Simulation provides you with a powerful but easy-to-use virtual environment where you can test and analyze your product designs directly within your SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD interface. Overcome your largest design challenges, increase product reliability, and reduce the amount of physical testing you need as you virtually test against real-world environments during the design phase to predict potential design issues early.

Our suite of SOLIDWORKS Simulation tools comes in three levels: Standard, Professional and Premium. These solutions include a variety of study types to test different modes of failure on your CAD model. Whether the tests you need to run are linear, nonlinear, or dynamic structural effects, the Hawk Ridge team can help you select the best tool.

	SIMULATION STANDARD	SIMULATION PROFESSIONAL	SIMULATION PREMIUM
Fully Integrated Analysis
SOLIDWORKS Simulation is fully integrated into the SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD environment leveraging common features like configurations to allow for testing of different design iterations.
Validation Tutorials and Benchmark Examples
SOLIDWORKS Simulation come stocked with a multitude of examples to familiarize yourself with the common features and to ensure confidence that it can provide valid results.
Meshing Controls
There are 3 mesh element types: solids, shells, and beams. Each is used to ensure accuracy in your results but also to help solve the analysis with its greatest efficiency. Mesh controls are also available to help narrow down the scope in areas of concern for added accuracy.
Body Interactions
There are a variety of different body interactions available that include: - Bonded - Contact (formally known as “no penetration”) - Free (formally known as “allow penetration”) - Shrink fit - Virtual wall - Self contact
Virtual Connectors
To decrease solve time, manual creation of virtual connectors to replace physical bodies include: - Bolt - Pin - Spring - Bearing - Elastic support - Self contact
Body Restraints
A variety of fixture options to control the degrees of freedom of every body to reflect most accurately how the real-life scenario is restrained.
Loads and Prescribed Displacements
Load options include: - Force - Pressure - Torque - Gravity - Virtual remote loads - Temperature - Prescribed displacements - Import of pressures and temperatures from SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation - Import of thermal study temperatures from Simulation Professional
Communication and Reporting
SOLIDWORKS Simulation has embedded templates to output analysis reports that include details of the study setup and images of the results. Analysis results can also be shared using eDrawings.
Linear Static Analysis for Parts and Assemblies
Check for stress, strain, displacement, and factor of safety (FOS) under linear assumptions. These include: - Small displacements - Load is applied slowly and gradually - Response is proportional to the load - Material behaves linear elastically - No permanent deformation
Stress Hot Spot Diagnostics
Check for irregular stress gradients to pinpoint stress singularities.
Fatigue Analysis
By referencing the baseline structural analysis, this study assumes high-cycle fatigue and uses S/N material data to output life cycles and cumulative damage.
Time-Based Motion
Intended for moving mechanisms, this rigid body kinematic and dynamic motion tool allows you to gain insight on velocities, accelerations, torque, and overall movement under different load and motor conditions.
Trend Tracker
Track your study design iterations of a static study and view the trend of desired result outputs.
Frequency Analysis
See how your parts and assemblies want to resonate by viewing the natural frequencies and mode shapes.
Buckling Analysis
Calculate the buckling load factor on tall and slender bodies to determine how much more load your structure can take before buckling.
Drop Test Analysis
Determine the stress and displacement effects of your design upon impact on a rigid or flexible virtual surface.
Parametric and Topology Design Optimization
Automate the process to find the optimal design combination by varying dimensional and FEA based parameters while adhering to design constraints and reducing the overall mass. Topology optimization determines a unique shape alternative to help reduce the mass while following design and manufacturing constraints.
Pressure Vessel Analysis
Using the methodologies of ASME International Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code ASME BPVC-VIII-2, this study combines baseline static studies using linear combination or the square root of the sum of squares (SRSS).
Event-Based Motion Analysis
Similar to time-based motion, this replaces the control of different sequences based on time with event-triggered motion controls by incorporating different combinations of sensors.
Thermal Analysis
This study uses an FEA approach to determine the temperature of bodies excluding the effects of moving air. Options include steady-state and transient effects.
Submodeling
Increase the resolution of results in a subset of parts that references and transfers the boundary conditions from a top-level assembly.
Load Case Manager
View the effects of different load combinations on your designs.
2D Simplification
Reduce the size of the problem and calculation times by converting the 3D shape to a 2D plane stress, plane strain, or axi-symmetric condition.
Automated Toolbox Fasteners Conversion to Virtual Bolts
SOLIDWORKS Simulation includes Toolbox integration features to automatically convert physical hardware to virtual components.
Extended Material Database
With active subscription on a Simulation Professional or Premium license, you gain access to the materiality database for more downloadable material options.
Linear Dynamic Studies
Building upon the frequency study, calculate the stresses and displacements due to forcing vibrations and calculate the response of dynamic and shock loading for linear elastic materials. These study types include: - Modal time history analysis - Harmonic analysis - Random vibration analysis - Response spectrum analysis
Nonlinear Analysis
Nonlinear analysis lets you analyze complex material behavior, such as post-yield metals, rubbers, and plastics, as well as to account for large deflections and sliding contact-in components. A nonlinear static study assumes static loads with loads that can be sequenced so that the dynamic effects of the varying load do not affect the study. The complex material models in nonlinear static studies can be used to calculate permanent deformation and residual stresses due to excessive loads, as well as predicting performance for components, such as springs and clip fasteners. A nonlinear dynamic study accounts for the effect of real-time varying loads that are included in calculations and results. In addition to solving nonlinear static problems, nonlinear dynamic studies can also solve impact problems.
Composite Material
Define the material properties and orientation of composite laminates.

HOW CAN HAWK RIDGE SYSTEMS HELP?

The Hawk Ridge team is here to help you succeed. Our simulation technical team is full of degreed engineers who have multi-disciplinary experience across different industries. We are with you every step of the way from initial interest to working with you on your first analysis project and beyond. We take pride in having in-depth conversations with customers like you to understand your short and long-term goals so that we can provide honest feedback and recommendations.

We worked with a customer encountering mesh issues and failed studies on a complicated model. Our simulation team was able to help them understand the problem and coach them through a better approach, scaling back to start simple and build from there.

One customer was worried about the costs for shaker table testing prototypes of multiple design iterations. After consulting with the Hawk Ridge team, they moved forward with Simulation. We were able to help them save money in the long run, narrowing down the design to two iterations for prototyping after predicting issues with other designs.

One of our training instructors received rave reviews from a self-taught Simulation customer who was becoming fed up with issues in one of his studies. The instructor spent time after class one-on-one with him and covered many topics to solve most of the issues.
