Updated for SolidWorks 2013

Length: 1 day

Prerequisites: Students must have attended the introductory SolidWorks Simulation course (3 days) or must have working knowledge of the SolidWorks Simulation software. Knowledge of SolidWorks and basic mechanical engineering concepts is recommended.

Description: This course is designed to make SolidWorks Simulation users productive with the SolidWorks Simulation Professional extension. This 1 day course will provide an in-depth coverage on the advanced topics in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) including heat transfer analysis, frequency analysis, fatigue, stability analysis based on the linear buckling concepts, and pressure vessel modulus. Example or parts and assemblies including those with various gap.contact conditions are reviewed.

Who Should Attend: All SolidWorks Simulation users wishing to create better designs in SolidWorks by performing analysis and evaluating the behavior of their parts and assemblies under actual service conditions.

The topics covered in this course are:

Introduction

Lesson 1: Frequency Analysis of Parts

Lesson 2: Frequency Analysis of Assemblies

Lesson 3: Buckling Analysis

Lesson 4: Thermal Analysis

Lesson 5: Thermal Analysis with Radiation

Lesson 6: Advanced Thermal Stress, 2D
