SolidWorks Simulation Premium: NonlinearGain credibility and get ahead with our SolidWorks Training & Certi�cation

Duration: 2 Days

Prerequisites:

Must have attended the basic SOLIDWORKS Simulation class, or must have an experience with SOLIDWORKS

and working basic knowledge of �nite elements and of basic mechanical principles.

Designed for users who would like to become productive fast, the nonlinear course o�ers hands-on

experience on the use of SOLIDWORKS Simulation nonlinear module. The two-day course provides an overview

on a wide range of nonlinear structural/mechanical analysis topics.

Course Outline

This class will raise your SOLIDWORKS Simulation FEA skills to the next level! It o�ers hands-on experience on the use

of SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium nonlinear module. The 2-day course provides an overview on a wide range of

nonlinear structural/mechanical analysis topics. You will learn how to deal with models that exhibit large displace-

ments and/or yielding, discuss and practice the use of many material models available in SOLIDWORKS Simulation and,

most importantly, how to drive a non-linear analysis to successful completion. ctual service conditions.

The main topics covered include:
