Simulation solutions

SOLIDWORKS Simulation is a comprehensive structural analysis solution fully integrated into SOLIDWORKS that can be used by both designers and analysts to enable companies to bring their products to market faster and at lower cost without compromising quality or performance.

SOLIDWORKS Simulation is a suite of structural analysis solutions that use finite element analysis (FEA) to predict the physical behavior of a product in the real world by virtually testing CAD models. The portfolio includes solutions for linear, nonlinear static, and dynamic analysis, divided into three products: Simulation Standard, Simulation Professional, and Simulation Premium, each of which adds easy-to-use capabilities to solve increasingly complex problems.

Advantages

  • Quickly evaluates the performance of multiple variables.
  • Reduces time to market by quickly identifying optimal design solutions.
  • Predicts product performance, safety factor (FOS), and fatigue characteristics early in the process.
  • Reduces material costs. SOLIDWORKS Simulation allows design teams to safely eliminate unnecessary materials.
  • By pre-testing and refining your designs virtually, the costly testing and certification process is simplified, reducing time to market.

Flow simulation

SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is a versatile tool for simulating fluid flow and heat transfer, integrated with SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD. This powerful 3D simulation tool, capable of simulating both low-speed and supersonic flows, enables true parallel engineering and provides every designer with critical fluid flow and heat transfer analysis capabilities. In addition to SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, designers can simulate the impact of fans and rotating components on fluid flow, as well as the heating and cooling of components.

Benefits

  • Evaluates product performance by rapidly changing multiple variables.
  • Reduces time to market by quickly identifying optimal design solutions and reducing the number of physical prototypes.
  • Provides better cost control by reducing rework and improving quality.
  • Makes more accurate proposals.

SOLIDWORKS Plastics

Predict and avoid manufacturing defects in plastic parts and injection molds, eliminating costly rework, improving part quality, and reducing time to market.

SOLIDWORKS Plastics offers computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulation tools that predict how molten plastic flows during the injection molding process—a manufacturing method used to produce more than 80% of all plastic products. The ability to predict how plastic will flow allows manufacturers to anticipate production defects. With the ability to predict these defects, users can modify mold geometry, processing conditions, or the plastic used to minimize potential defects, thereby saving energy, natural resources, time, and money.

Benefits

  • Avoid hidden costs: SOLIDWORKS Plastics products can be used to optimize part wall thickness, gate location, guide system size, and layout to ensure the mold works correctly the first time, reducing or eliminating the need for rework.
  • Reduce manufacturing defects and scrap: SOLIDWORKS Plastics makes it easy to analyze design iterations early in product development, when the cost of changes is minimal and the impact on manufacturability is greatest. This improves part quality and minimizes scrap rates.
  • Reduce time to market: SOLIDWORKS Plastics helps you predict and avoid potential manufacturing defects before any mold tooling is cut, virtually eliminating the need for time-consuming and costly mold rework and ensuring that project deadlines and delivery dates are met on time and within budget. Within budget.
  • Avoid inefficient "islands of automation": SOLIDWORKS Plastics provides tools for automatically generating reports that facilitate the sharing and interpretation of simulation results, enabling greater collaboration between development teams across different sites.

PRODUCT DATA MANAGEMENT (PDM)

SOLIDWORKS PDM is a core data management system that stores and organizes CAD engineering data and other documents in a central repository with a relational database
to manage all file and link information, user and group permissions, electronic workflows, and more. SOLIDWORKS PDM is integrated into Windows Explorer, so users work in a familiar environment but with much more information and control.
SOLIDWORKS PDM uses an organized local cache where files are automatically retrieved from the central file server (archive server) and placed in a local cache.

SOLIDWORKS PDM uses an organized local cache, where files are automatically retrieved from the central file server (archive server) and placed in the user's local cache on their hard drive. This significantly improves performance compared to opening and saving files in shared network folders. If a file needs to be edited, the user checks out the file, which gives them access rights to it. After editing is complete, the file is copied back to the archive server during the check-in process. A new version of the file is automatically created during the check-in process.

Benefits

  • Saves search time by securely centralizing all project documents and using customizable search cards that simplify the entry of search criteria.
  • Controls access to data so that the right users have access at the right time, depending on what stage of the approval process the file is in.
  • Effective version control helps avoid rework and defects caused by working with outdated versions of 3D models and drawings.
  • Enables remote project locations to receive real-time updates on project changes combined with automatic notifications.
  • It eliminates the need to spend time searching for or recreating documents that have been moved, renamed, misplaced, or accidentally deleted by unauthorized users.

SOLIDWORKS COMPOSER

SOLIDWORKS Composer provides you with the tools to design and create technical communication materials in parallel with product development, ensuring that your documentation keeps pace with your design changes and is ready for your product. SOLIDWORKS Composer's intuitive interface lets you create highly detailed 2D and 3D graphics with precise control to highlight areas of interest and focus on specific components. You can easily output interactive 3D animations to create realistic 3D environments for interactive training or engaging marketing presentations.
