SOLIDWORKS Simulation

Benefit from a powerful structural test environment allowing you to perform complex simulations in an intuitive workflow.

SOLIDWORKS Simulation provides you with a set of structural analysis tools that allow you to virtually test your designs in order to easily predict the real physical behavior of your product.

The exceptional features of SOLIDWORKS Simulation address all the concerns that a designer may have; the speed of implementation, the power and the precision of these analyses allow you to improve the quality, reliability and performance of your products. You will thus be able to solve your engineering problems thanks to complex loading scenarios and numerous physical tests, while benefiting from a wide range of parameters: linear response, nonlinear static and dynamic, thermal behavior, fatigue, but also dynamic loading and materials analysis.

Now make your decisions with confidence: SOLIDWORKS Simulation guarantees the robustness of your product while significantly limiting the costs related to prototyping and various physical tests!

Limit the use of prototyping

The various simulations allow you to anticipate possible defects in your products even before creating a prototype.

Facilitate the work of the various stakeholders

SOLIDWORKS Simulation integrates perfectly into the SOLIDWORKS environment. The tool communicates easily with other solutions in the SOLIDWORKS range (CAD design, etc.), thus facilitating collaboration between all stakeholders involved in the design project.

Encourage product innovation

The many simulations available allow you to establish comparisons and constantly innovate to overtake the competition.
