SOLIDWORKS Simulation Software

SOLIDWORKS Simulation is an easy-to-use portfolio of structural analysis solutions using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to predict a product’s real-world physical behaviour by virtually testing CAD models. Leveraging the familiar SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD environment, this extensive technology isn’t just about making sure your product works, it’s about understanding how your product will behave in the real world. The portfolio of simulation solutions offers everything designers need—from entry-level to more advanced capabilities—for linear, nonlinear static, and dynamic analysis.
