Design Validation Capabilities
With the powerful design validation tools in SolidWorks® software, you can easily subject your designs to the same conditions that they’ll experience in the real world.

Tolerance Stack-up Validation. TolAnalyst analyzes a design based on the order and manner in which parts are assembled, as well as DimXpert-applied dimensions and tolerances.
Assembly Simulation. Study the interactions of assembly components on-screen, before incurring the costs of physical prototypes. Simulate static or dynamic loads to evaluate your design’s performance under stress, strain, and displacement.
Mechanism Simulation. Apply a wide variety of physics-based models to simulate real-world operating conditions for your design. Check for colliding parts. Output numerical and graphic data of the results, as well as animations of your tests.
Simulate Welded Structures. Ensure your welded structures perform at peak operating conditions. Apply pressure, forces, and bearing loads. Then use visualization tools like section plots, ISO clipping, and animation to review the response.
