SOLIDWORKS
Simulation.
Validate and optimise your designs before manufacturing with powerful FEA simulation tools, fully integrated inside SOLIDWORKS. For fluid flow (CFD), SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is a separate product.

Simulation Capabilities
Static Analysis
Evaluate stresses and displacements under loads to ensure structural integrity.
Thermal Analysis
Model heat transfer — conduction, convection, and radiation — across components.
Frequency Analysis
Determine natural frequencies and mode shapes to avoid resonance failures.
Buckling Analysis
Identify critical buckling loads for slender structures and thin-walled parts.
Fatigue Analysis
Predict product lifespan under cyclic loading conditions.
Drop Test Simulation
Simulate impact events to evaluate robustness and packaging design.
Nonlinear Analysis
Handle large deformations, contact problems, and nonlinear materials.
Pressure Vessel
Check stresses in pressure vessel designs against your design code requirements.
