Design Validation
Discover how virtual simulation can reveal potential design flaws without physical prototypes.
Design to Prevent Fatigue
Learn how to determine fatigue strength in materials, calculate fatigue life, and design with it in mind.
Driving Better Product Design with SolidWorks Simulation
The SolidWorks® Simulation suite provides the advanced capabilities you need to get to market faster—designers can catch mistakes sooner, change course quickly, and create better-performing products at a lower cost.
Integrating 3D Mechanical Design and Analysis with Physical Testing
Written in collaboration with National Instruments, this report examines integration of design, analysis, and physical testing.
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 Optimization
Design optimization can increase the value of a product by improving its performance within its operating environment, and by reducing the cost of producing it by reducing the amount of material used to make it.
Streamlining design with real-world vibration analysis
Any time a component or an assembly is subjected to a changing or dynamic load, it may react or vibrate in a way that ranges from merely annoying to critically dangerous.
Thermal Analysis
This White Paper discusses how design verification tools like SolidWorks Simulation can help you solve problems with Thermal analysis. Thermal analysis can be executed to find temperature distribution, gradient, and heal flowing in a mocel, as well as heat exchanged between the model and its environment.
Understanding Nonlinear Analysis
This report explains the differences between linear and nonlinear analysis and how to understand various types of nonlinear behavior.
Understanding Motion Simulation
Motion simulation provides complete, quantitative information about the kinematics - including position, velocity, and acceleration, and the dynamics - including joint reactions, inertial forces, and power requirements, of all the components of a moving mechanism.
