### Advanced Simulation for SOLIDWORKS Users

[![SOLIDWORKS 2023 - Expand Horizons with Advanced Simulation](/sites/default/filesd10/styles/bg_large/public/migration/2022-09/3dexperience-works-advanced-simulation-video-cover.jpg.webp)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1LhQ_TDVFU)

Connecting SOLIDWORKS® to advanced simulations just got easier with **3D**EXPERIENCE® Works. Import SOLIDWORKS materials directly from your custom library and add Abaqus multiphysics properties including damage. Transfer your SOLIDWORKS Simulation studies to advanced structural scenarios, like explicit dynamic steps, and solve directly on the cloud. Optimize your SOLIDWORKS models with Parametric Design Studies and evaluate your designs for life with world-leading multiaxial strain-based fatigue methods. And since all of this is on the **3D**EXPERIENCE platform, publishing and sharing results has never been easier.

### Validate Electromagnetic Performance

Electromagnetics Engineer enables designers and engineers to perform electromagnetic simulations from low to high frequency (static to optical), including optimization of antennas and microwave components as well as electro-mechanical devices. This means you can validate performance, reduce time-to-market, and avoid potential device malfunctions. Electromagnetics Engineer delivers unprecedented simulation reliability and accuracy. Engineers can minimize the electromagnetic compatibility risks and the human body exposure to electromagnetic fields, and ensure that products and devices pass their certification tests required by the legal and industry standards the first time.

### Evaluate Fluid Flow and Thermal Performance

Fluid Dynamics Engineer provides fluid flow and thermal performance analysis to help you evaluate design alternatives and accelerate product innovation. You can easily predict steady-state and transient flow as well as thermal behavior of your products leading to better designs. With a multi-CAD and PLM-embedded CFD approach, Fluid Dynamics Engineer will let you quickly explore hundreds of designs while concurrently improving performance based on criteria such as optimal flow distribution, efficient thermal management, minimal pressure losses, flow uniformity, and reduced recirculation. Fluid Dynamics Engineer provides advanced meshing and turbulence modeling, large model handling, automatic gap resolution, cloud compute, and particle-particle interaction.

### Predict Injection Molding Defects

With **3D**EXPERIENCE Works, you have injection molding simulation capabilities available to expand your horizons as an engineer. Plastic Injection Engineer enables you to validate design of plastic parts and mold tooling by simulating the filling, packing, warpage and mold cooling with an intuitive software assistant. The simulation technology helps predict common molding defects including weld-lines, sink marks, air traps and incomplete filling (short shots). This enables design teams to validate the proposed manufacturing process during the design phase. Use simulation results to guide design modifications and explore new concepts. With a CAD embedded approach, Plastics Injection Engineer enables you to quickly explore hundreds of designs while concurrently improving product performance.
