Use weight, strength, factor of safety, and frequency constraints to drive optimized topology in your design.
SIMULATION TOOLS FOR THE SOLIDWORKS DESIGN ENVIRONMENT
Innovation starts with someone asking, “What if?” or “Why not?” Answering these questions is often impractical with physical prototypes or hand calculations, not to mention the necessary time and cost.
Hawk Ridge Systems knows that simulation provides the most value in guiding design decisions before metal is cut or wires are installed. That's why we offer complete, CAD-integrated solutions for testing a concept, optimizing a design, or correcting a real-world failure.
3D DESIGN SIMULATION PACKAGES
Compare the different packages and find the one that best suits your business.
SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION
With SOLIDWORKS Simulation analysis, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) can employ real-world conditions, explore design changes, predict failures, and reduce prototyping costs.
SOLIDWORKS PLASTICS
SOLIDWORKS Plastics injection molding simulation predicts how melted plastic flows during the injection molding process. Reduce manufacturing defects while saving time, energy and money.
SOLIDWORKS FLOW SIMULATION
Engineers use SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation to quickly predict the thermal, liquid flow, and aerodynamic performance of their products at every stage of the design process.
SIMULIA
SIMULIA is the industry-leading FEA solver for advanced multi-physics analysis. SIMULIA Abaqus is the go-to-choice for multifluid structure interaction.
3D DESIGN SIMULATION SUITE FEATURES
Engineers from any industry can improve their designs with CAD-integrated simulation tools. From a first-pass design check to forensic analysis, SOLIDWORKS and SIMULIA tools can test for almost any performance requirement.
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
Validate product performance and safety factors using finite element analysis (FEA) to perform structural simulation.
FATIGUE ANALYSIS
Predict component fatigue failures by examining repeated or random load cycles.
MOTION ANALYSIS
Predict mechanical or free-body motion and determine structural loads.
DESIGN OPTIMIZATION
Parametric or topology optimization automatically finds the best design from dozens of possibilities.
FLUID FLOW ANALYSIS
Simulate aerodynamics or the delivery of liquids to improve product performance.
VIBRATION ANALYSIS
Examine how vibration or shock load can shorten equipment life.
HVAC ANALYSIS
Check heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems for comfort and efficiency.
ELECTRONIC COOLING
Optimize heat dissipation and the selection of electronic components.
