SOLIDWORKS Simulation
Training Objectives
This course is designed to make SolidWorks users productive more quickly with the SOLIDWORKS Simulation. This course will provide an in-depth coverage on the basics of Finite Element Analysis (FEA), covering the entire analysis process from meshing to evaluation of results for parts and assemblies. The class discusses linear stress analysis, gap/contact analysis, and best practices.
Pre-requisite
Knowledge of SOLIDWORKS and basic mechanical engineering concepts is recommended.
