Description:
This course is designed to make SolidWorks Simulation users
productive with the SolidWorks Simulation Professional extension.
This 1 day course will provide an in-depth coverage on the advanced
topics in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) including heat transfer
analysis, frequency analysis, fatigue, stability analyisis based on
the linear buckling concepts, and pressure vessel modulus. Example
or parts and assemblies including those with various gap.contact
conditions are reviewed. (1 day)
Duration:
1 Days
Prerequisites:
SolidWorks Fundamentals is
highly recommended but not required. SolidWorks Simulation is required.
