DESCRIPTION
Every May, we focus on the analysis tools available for SOLIDWORKS, and showcase many of the unique and powerful technologies that can be applied for stress, flow, and plastics analysis. This year, we've developed the Simulation Buyer's Guide to help you figure out what kind of analysis tool or package best fits your situation. This comprehensive document details all of the decision factors and considerations to make when looking at static structural analysis, dynamic analysis (vibration and shock), thermal analysis, fluid flow analysis or plastics injection molding analysis. We look at analysis tools ranging from the free Xpress tools included in every license of SOLIDWORKS through SOLIDWORKS Simulation and Flow Simulation functions, and also the high-end analysis available in SIMULIA Abaqus. Step-by-step checklists will help guide you to the ideal analysis solution for your particular design needs, and covers pros and cons of different analysis approaches. This presentation is from our introductory webinar to the Buyer's Guide. You can join the rest of the webinars here: http://www.hawkridgesys.com/events/live-product-webinars/solidworks-simulation-month/ And watch recorded webcasts here: http://www.hawkridgesys.com/events/recorded-webinars/TRANSCRIPT

Initial Visual RoadmapStatic Structural Analysis Options• SimXpress –every license of SOLIDWORKS
• Single part only, limited conditions• Simulation – part of SOLIDWORKS Premium
• Comprehensive linear static stress analysis• Yield is only mode of failure considered
• Simulation Professional • Adds other modes of failure – buckling, fatigue• Adds productivity tools – optimization, submodeling
• Simulation Premium• Adds nonlinear capability• Includes large displacement modeling• Nonlinear material models
• SIMULIA Abaqus CAE• Analyst level tool for complex scenarios

RoadmapStatic Structural – SIMULIA Abaqus applicationsSample extension applications for SIMULIA Abaqus
• Very large deformation and nonlinear loading• Crack propagation and fracture modeling• Complex composite material analysis• Metal forming applications

Initial Visual RoadmapDynamic Structural Analysis• Response of models to loading that changes with time (or frequency)• Can be considered to include kinematic motion analysis tools like SOLIDWORKS Motion• Simplest vibration information starts with extraction of modal frequencies• Full dynamic analysis provides amplitude of response vs time or frequency.

• Frequency Analysis – Simulation Professional• Modal frequencies of a structure• Identifies “danger points” for vibration
• Drop Test – Simulation Professional• Limited boundary conditions
• Dynamic Analysis – Simulation Premium• True displacement/acceleration/stress response to excitation• Time History – typically shock or impact testing• Harmonic – vibration testing• Random Vibration – complex, difficult to quantify vibration
• SIMULIA Abaqus CAE• Analyst level dynamic testing – multibody dynamics, crash testing

Initial Visual RoadmapThermal AnalysisAssessment of how heat flows through a model
• Three modes of heat transfer can be evaluated – conduction, convection, radiation.• FEA approaches make an estimate of convection• CFD approaches analyze convection and fluid flow explicitly
![Page 11: Introducing the Simulation Buyer's Guide for SOLIDWORKS and SIMULIA Abaqus CAE](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081716/5413c0788d7f72be698b46fb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Initial Visual RoadmapThermal Analysis OptionsTwo approaches to thermal analysis available for SOLIDWORKS
• SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional – Thermal Analysis• FEA-based approach to thermal analysis• Convection is estimated by specifying a convection coefficient• Conduction and radiation are explicitly calculated
• SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation• CFD-based approach to thermal analysis• Convection is analyzed explicitly by calculating the fluid flow from natural or forced convection• Conduction and radiation are explicitly calculated
• Both approaches can include steady state or thermal analysis, and both approaches can export thermal results to stress analysis for thermal stress and distortion analysis

Initial Visual RoadmapFluid Flow AnalysisAssessment of how gas or liquid flow around or through a model
• Used for estimation of aerodynamic drag and lift• Pressure drop calculations in valves/pipes and industrial components• Often run in conjunction with thermal analysis – our CFD code considers both fluid flow and
heat transfer calculations simultaneously.
