SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION
SOLIDWORKS Simulation provides an integrated virtual environment to test and analyze a product design without a physical prototype. Designers can accurately optimize and design to account for real-world environments and fully predict the entire product life cycle.
SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION & ANALYSIS
SOLIDWORKS Simulation software offers three unique packages - Simulation Standard, Simulation Professional, and Simulation Premium. Each package focuses on different structural analyses such as linear, non-linear static, and dynamic techniques for each stage of the manufacturing process. Every package offers the same intuitive setup workflow to quickly test and compare different model design changes.
By integrating virtual testing early in product development, users can develop more accurate and reliable product designs while reducing the need for costly prototyping. Select one of the SOLIDWORKS Simulation packages below to see which option is the best fit for your business and get more information.
SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION PREMIUM
Evaluate your designs by integrating realistic structural behavior using advanced non-linear material types and simulate complex dynamic loading.
SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION PROFESSIONAL
Explore different design scenarios with topology optimization to evaluate potential modes of failure in various physical scenarios (e.g. vibration, buckling, and heat transfer).
SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION STANDARD
Provides designers an integrated virtual environment to test linear static, high-cycle fatigue, and time-based kinematic rigid body motion on parts and assemblies.
SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION FEATURES
The entire SOLIDWORKS Simulation suite provides different study types and tools to spend less time setting up the design parameters and more time actually innovating through simulation-driven design.
PART & ASSEMBLY ANALYSIS
Run simulations on the native 3D CAD model for parts and assemblies and perform "What if" scenarios to identify the best design alternatives
NON-LINEAR ANALYSIS
Quickly and efficiently analyze post yield stresses and deformations under extreme loads, contact, and flexible materials for your complex design problems
TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION
Perform structural topology studies to discover new minimal material design alternatives and cutting out costly prototypes and reducing material costs
STRESS HOT SPOT DIAGNOSTICS
Run a diagnostics test to help detect regions of the model that exhibit the highest stresses that are due to singularities to better evaluate alternative design methods
FATIGUE ANALYSIS
Check a systems expected life or accumulated damage after a specified number of cycles to optimize the fatigue life of your designs
DYNAMIC ANALYSIS
Determine the impact of time varying loads on the structural responses of your product design to ensure performance, quality, and safety
SUB-MODELING
Easily create accurate submodel studies that automatically utilize loads and the boundary conditions applied to the full 3D model to account for each component
TREND TRACKER
Detect trends in results from different iterations of a static study in one unified software environment to better manage all of your design iterations
STOP TESTING, START PRODUCING WITH SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION
Ensuring the required structural strength, rigidity, and endurance of a design has traditionally been in the realm of either physical testing or of specialist analysis tools. SOLIDWORKS Simulation delivers powerful analysis capabilities together with the SOLIDWORKS ease of use, resulting in a suite of structural analysis tools that can be used by both the designer and analyst. Some of the big benefits include:
- Grow market share and differentiate through ground-breaking product design.
- Allow for rapid design iteration using fast solvers to guide design direction.
- Test early (incomplete) assemblies using connectors to mimic standard parts
- Improve eco-effectiveness of product design
- Test structural performance under extreme and dynamic loading
INNOVATION BY SIMULATION DRIVEN 3D DESIGN
SOLIDWORKS Simulation provides testing and analysis of parts and products in real-world environments in advance of any manufacturing work. Teams can work concurrently to develop the design while validating any changes, thus speeding up the design cycle. SOLIDWORKS Simulation also retains previous analyses and data so that any design changes throughout a product's life can be quickly and easily recalculated ensuring product performance and reliability.
Thousands of companies have chosen SOLIDWORKS Simulation as their simulation tool of choice to further innovate and become leaders in their markets.
