 One of the most comprehensive and sophisticated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) packages available, SolidWorks® Simulation Premium integrates completely with SolidWorks CAD software. Bring highly advanced validation tools to your design teams at a fraction of the cost of most high-end FEA programs.
“Our design and development team has experience with a number of different engineering packages. From the beginning of our conversion to SolidWorks, we found the software to be extremely intuitive. We reduced our average design time including revisions by 30% and reduced our sheeting time by over 50%. Using SolidWorks Simulation, we are able to test material specifications prior to prototyping and for one specific project reduced development time by 2 weeks and saved over $40,000 in material on the production run.”

Any engineer can easily apply SolidWorks Simulation Premium to perform tough validation tasks like these:
- Study the performance of your designs for excessive deflections and stresses under dynamic loads.
- Perform nonlinear analysis–including impact–on plastics, rubbers, polymers, and foam.
- Conduct contact analysis coupled with nonlinear materials.
- Evaluate the behavior of composite materials.

Featured SolidWorks Simulation Premium capabilities:
 Nonlinear Dynamics. Thoroughly test and validate your designs with a broad range of advanced capabilities, including: nonlinear displacement analysis and analysis of nonlinear materials, as well as dynamic response analysis of parts and assemblies.
 Simulate Plastic Parts. Capture all the behavior of your plastic parts without special training or add-ins. Simulate your plastic components in all possible tests and environments, and optimize parts for volume and cost.
 Simulate Forced Vibrations. Predict and control vibrations or dynamic responses in your products with a choice of integrated design studies, including Transient study, Harmonic Response study, and Random Response study.
 Assembly Simulation. Study the interactions of assembly components on-screen, before incurring the costs of physical prototypes. Simulate static or dynamic loads to evaluate your design’s performance under stress, strain, and displacement.
 Mechanism Simulation. Apply a wide variety of physics-based models to simulate real-world operating conditions for your design. Check for colliding parts. Output numerical and graphic data of the results, as well as animations of your tests.
 Simulate Welded Structures. Ensure your welded structures perform at peak operating conditions. Apply pressure, forces, and bearing loads. Then use visualization tools like section plots, ISO clipping, and animation to review the response.
