SolidWorks Simulation Professional
This course is designed to make SolidWorks Simulation users productive with the SolidWorks Simulation Professional extension. This 1 day course will provide an in-depth coverage on the advanced topics in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) including heat transfer analysis, frequency analysis, fatigue, stability analyisis based on the linear buckling concepts, and pressure vessel modulus. Example or parts and assemblies including those with various gap.contact conditions are reviewed. (1 day)
Prerequisites: Students must have attended the introductory SolidWorks Simulation course (3 days) or must have working knowledge of the SolidWorks Simulation software). Knowledge of SolidWorks and basic mechanical engineering concepts is recommended.
Who should attend: All SolidWorks Simulation users wishing to create better designs in SolidWorks by performing analysis and evaluating the behavior of their parts and assemblies under actual service conditions.
Length: 1 day
Time: 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
