SolidWorks Simulation Professional
 |
With SolidWorks® Simulation Professional, you can accurately simulate real-world operating conditions, all while reducing the time and costs associated with building and testing prototypes. Fully integrated with SolidWorks CAD software, SolidWorks® Simulation Professional helps ensure that your designs can be accurately and cost-efficiently manufactured by finding design errors on-screen, rather than on the production floor. |

Featured SolidWorks Simulation Professional capabilities:
 |
Compare and Optimize Alternatives Determine the best design option by comparing strengths, life, cost, and weight. Perform all comparisons and design modifications within the SolidWorks environment. |
 |
Simulate Drop Test or Impact Save time and cost by reducing the number of physical tests. Define drop height, surface, and orientation. Perform realistic collision simulation between parts or assemblies. |
 |
Predict Buckling or Collapse Virtually apply forces, pressure, gravity, and centrifugal forces to your designs to determine maximum loads before buckling. Study the effects of various materials as well as isotopic and orthotropic factors. |
 |
Simulate Heating or Cooling Thermal analysis capabilities enable you to easily study heat effects on your designs. Simulate thermal boundary conditions, fluid flow, thermal-structural interactions, and radiation effects in high-temperature applications. |

Simulate Welded Structures Ensure your welded structures perform at peak operating conditions. Apply pressure, forces, and bearing loads. Then use visualization tools like section plots, ISO clipping, and animation to review the response. |
 |
Product Failure Prediction Save the time and cost of prototyping, while creating safer, more durable products. Predict structural failure thresholds due to yielding, overheating, buckling, and fatigue. |
 |
Simulate Natural Frequencies Predict and control your products natural modes of vibration to avoid potentially damaging resonant frequencies. Study the effects of both loads and material choices on your products performance. |
 |
Simulate Repeated Loading Simulate, evaluate, and improve a part or assembly that must withstand the rigors of daily operation. Evaluate the differences in your system’s performance to varying speeds or frequencies, and estimate the design life of your entire product. |
