What can you do with SolidWorks Simulation 2018 Premium?

SolidWorks Simulation Premium provides a complete suite of structural analysis tools to predict a product's real-world physical behavior by virtually testing CAD models. This allows you to optimize designs, ensure reliability, and reduce the need for physical prototypes.

• Linear Static Analysis: Evaluate stress, strain, displacement, and factor of safety for parts and assemblies under static loads.
• Frequency Analysis: Determine natural frequencies and mode shapes to avoid resonance issues.
• Buckling Analysis: Predict critical buckling loads for slender structures.
• Thermal Analysis: Simulate heat transfer, temperature distribution, and thermal stresses.
• Fatigue Analysis: Assess the durability of designs under cyclic loading to predict product life.
• Motion Analysis (Time-Based & Event-Based): Simulate and analyze the kinematic (motion) and dynamic (forces) behavior of assemblies, calculating velocities, accelerations, joint forces, and power consumption.
• Non-Linear Analysis: Analyze designs involving large displacements, non-linear materials (e.g., rubbers, plastics), and changing contact conditions.
• Linear Dynamics Analysis: Evaluate the response of structures to dynamic loading, including harmonic, random vibration, response spectrum, and modal time history analysis.
• Composites Analysis: Simulate parts made of layered composite materials to assess their structural integrity.
• Drop Test & Impact Analysis: Simulate the effect of dropping a product or an impact event.
