Use weight, strength, factor of safety, and frequency constraints to drive optimized topology in your design.
DESIGN SIMULATION & ANALYSIS TOOLS
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 PACKAGES
Compare the different packages and find the one that best suits your business.
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 including: 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
