Simulating Drop Tests in SolidWorks
Learn how to run up-front drop tests on your designs easily and quickly. This report shows how setting up a drop test is just like setting up any other SolidWorks Simulation analysis study.
SolidWorks® software now makes it possible for design engineers to run upfront drop tests on their designs easily and quickly, despite the fact that running them involves studying tens of thousands of very short time stops to capture the results within microseconds of the impact. This paper will look at what a user needs to do to perform such a test, the kind of results he or she will obtain, and at the technology behind such simulation. For the user, running drop tests looks and feels just like doing any other SolidWorks analysis.
