What's New in SOLIDWORKS 2026 - Simulation

SOLIDWORKS Simulation, Plastics, and Flow Simulation are packed with performance-boosting upgrades. The new enhancements allow you to get more accurate results, increase productivity with automation and smarter setups, and improve your injection molding and thermal simulations. 

Here’s what you can expect at a glance: 

• New force options for beams (such as “Per Item” and “Total”) 
• Detailed pin connector forces in random vibration 
• Angular displacement plot options 
• Identify incomplete material injection zones and predict short shots 
• Automatically fill thin gaps in thermal analyses 
• And much more
