This book helps you get to grips with SOLIDWORKS Simulation, which is a remarkable and integral part of SOLIDWORKS predominantly deployed for advanced product performance assessment and virtual prototyping.With this book, you'll take a hands-on approach to learning SOLIDWORKS Simulation with the help of step-by-step guidelines on various aspects of the simulation workflow. You'll begin by learning about the requirements for effective simulation of parts and components, along with the idealization of physical components and their representation with finite element models. As you progress through the book, you'll find exercises at the end of each chapter, and you'll be able to download the geometry models used in all the chapters from GitHub. Finally, you'll discover how to set up finite element simulations for the static analysis of components under various types of loads, and with different types of materials, from simple isotropic to composite, and different boundary conditions.By the end of this SOLIDWORKS 2022 book, you'll be able to conduct basic and advanced static analyses with SOLIDWORKS Simulation and have practical knowledge of how to best use the family of elements in the SOLIDWORKS Simulation library.What you will learnRun static simulations with truss, beam, shell, and solid element typesRun static simulations with truss, beam, shell, and solid element typesDemonstrate static simulations with mixed elementsDemonstrate static simulations with mixed elementsAnalyze components with point loads, torsional loads, transverse distributed loads, surface pressure loads, and centrifugal speedAnalyze components with point loads, torsional loads, transverse distributed loads, surface pressure loads, and centrifugal speedExplore the analysis of components with isotropic and composite materialsExplore the analysis of components with isotropic and composite materialsAnalyze members under thermo-mechanical and cyclic loadsAnalyze members under thermo-mechanical and cyclic loadsDiscover how to minimize simulation errors and perform convergence analysisDiscover how to minimize simulation errors and perform convergence analysisAcquire practical knowledge of plane elements to reduce computational overheadAcquire practical knowledge of plane elements to reduce computational overheadWho this book is forThis book is for engineers and analysts working in the field of aerospace, mechanical, civil, and mechatronics engineering who are looking to explore the simulation capabilities of SOLIDWORKS.
