Design better products with a comprehensive simulation tool

Simulating the real-world response of your design has never been easier. With the fuel-featured suite of tools in SolidWorks simulation premium, you can reduce the number of assumptions required in a world that is rarely linear or static.
SolidWorks simulation premium software bolsters the depth and ease of use of SolidWorks simulation professional with additional capabilities including a powerful set of tools for simulating nonlinear and dynamic response as well as composite materials.

Capture the effects of large displacement on your designs:

• Examine the large deformations caused by overloads, contact, and flexible materials.
• Transition easily between linear and nonlinear simulations.
• Study nonlinear buckling and snap-through events.

Simulate products made with non linear materials:

• Investigation designs with hyperelastic materials, such as rubbers, silicones, and other elastomers.
• Conduct an elasto-plastic analysis to study the onset of yield as well as plastic deformation.
• Examine creep effects and material changes with temperature.

Perform dynamic analyses of parts and assemblies:

• Simulate time history loading, steady – state harmonic input, response spectrum, and random vibration excitations.
• Input excitation curves of forces in random vibration analysis.
• Study stress, displacement, velocity, and acceleration with time, as well as RMS and PSD values for stress, displacement, velocity, and acceleration.

Simulate composite materials:

• Utilize simulation to leverages these advanced materials used in an increasing number of products, from consumer goods to advanced aerospace structures.
• Study multilayer shell bodies to examine the effect of each layer with its own material properties, thickness, and orientation.
• Use the revolutionary user interface to dynamically control and display ply orientation directly on your s solidworks model.
• Utilize sandwich and graphite or carbon-fiber composites, including honeycomb and cellular foam.

Easily tackle complex problems with the 2D planar simplification tool:

• Create plane stress, plane strain, and axisymmetry nonlinear analysis.
• Use 3D CAD models without modification to generate 2D sections.
