SolidWorks Simulation alternatives
SolidWorks Simulation is a structural analysis tool that uses Finite Element Analysis to simulate how your designs will behave in the real world. It identifies potential failures and helps optimize design performance by allowing you to conduct virtual tests on what-if scenarios. With this software, you can test your designs for strength and safety before you manufacture them, ensuring your products are safe for the consumer. It allows you to simulate different loading conditions, such as static, dynamic, thermal expansion, and random impact loads, to test the structural integrity of your design before manufacturing.
Based on the design and loading you provide, SolidWorks Simulation can accurately predict the load a part will experience in service. It uses industry-standard material property data, a Finite Element Model of your part, and a library of standard material properties to create a Finite Element mesh around your model. Additionally, SolidWorks Simulation performs thousands of calculations to accurately predict how the structure will respond under loading.
