SOLIDWORKS 2022 Simulation offers improved solve time, a brand new connector, and enhanced contact performance. The Nemo frame assembly has several bonded contacts and now in 2022, you can expect solve time to be over 25% faster than of previous releases.

Also new in SOLIDWORKS 2022 is a new linkage rod connector. You can specify cylindrical faces, circular edges or vertices, and also indicate the end conditions by specifying rigid, spherical, or pivot. You’ll also notice that the default mesh type is now the powerful Blended Curvature-Based mesh, which now allows mesh controls. Even with a refined mesh, we see improved solve times, especially with the FFE solver. These Simulation improvements allow you to make better and faster design decisions.
