Simulation, or virtual prototyping, allows engineers to see the performance of their design in ways even lab testing cannot easily do. Even better, it’s often more cost-effective, more timely, and less laborious than everything you have to do to carry out a physical test. Something that valuable must be expensive and hard to implement, right? Not necessarily.GoEngineer has helped thousands of small to large businesses adopt and upgrade their use of analysis tools.
GoEngineer's simulation team can best be demonstrated by introducing some of the individual members. If your company needs simulation support, these are among the people ready to assist you.
Each tier of SOLIDWORKS Simulation packages includes more advanced capabilities as you move up in each package (the higher-level packages include all the features of the previous levels). In this blog, we will compare all tiers of SOLIDWORKS Simulation packages and see examples so you can determine what level of SOLIDWORKS Simulation is best for you and your company.
Each node in a model meshed for a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) study has six degrees of freedom or DOF. Three are translational and three are rotational. In order to stabilize the model, the nodes’ DOF must be constrained.
In this guide, we cover SOLIDWORKS Simulation fixture preview icons and what they represent. While building SOLIDWORKS Simulation studies, it is important to create the right fixtures so that the results are accurate. By understanding the fixture preview icons and how they relate to the different types of fixtures, it becomes much easier to quickly create the correct fixtures.
Iso Clipping is a post-processing tool available in SOLIDWORKS Simulation. It allows us to modify the display of a result plot to cut away regions of the model above or below a certain value. It can also be used to show a range between two values and view surfaces of up to six specified values. Isolating areas of very high or low stress can be informative when investigating failures and optimizing designs.
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is a multipurpose computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool directly integrated with SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD. In this blog, we’ll showcase the top five fluid flow scenarios. These use cases outline how Flow Simulation can help answer your toughest design questions.
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation features several easy-to-use results analysis tools that make understanding and analyzing results more convenient. You can find these tools in a few different locations. The two options below are the most common, other than finding them in the Flow Simulation tab in the CommandManager.
This article is a companion to this SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation Tutorial. In it, Free Surfaces are used in combination with time-dependent gravity to simulate water flowing out of a pitcher when rotated 90 degrees. The Transient Explorer is employed in order to view the results of this study, specifically the motion of the water over time.
